Question for this week: Is there any old wives tales that came true for you during this pregnancy so far? What is the strangest one you have heard?
Re: ***2nd Trimester Check-in***
Can you please add me:) My due date is 11/13 - we are having a boy and a girl from IVF #5.
We heard that the fetal heart rates can determine the baby's sex. Turns out to be sort of true - we do have 2 different genders for 2 different heart rates. One baby had a much faster heart rate than the other but it turns out that was the boy (and the old wives tale said it would be a girl).
2 chem preg, 4 failed IUIs, 2 canc IVFs, 2 BFN IVFs, IVF #5 = BFP!!!
3/23 Beta #1 @ 17dpo = 913, Beta #2 @ 19dpo = 1724, Beta #3 @ 21 dpo = 3240
First u/s 3/29 @ 5 weeks 2 days - 3 sacs 6 weeks 3 days - 3 heartbeats 8 Weeks - Lost Baby C, Babies A and B going strong
No new news here.
"Is there any old wives tales that came true for you during this pregnancy so far? What is the strangest one you have heard?"
The old wives tale that come true thus far for me was that if your carrying a boy there is no M/S. Thats it. Haven't heard anything strange so far.
Can I be added?? I?m due 9/26 with our 1st?it was IUI #1 for us; we?re waiting to find out the gender (but I think it?s a boy ha ha).
Nothing old wives tale-wise that I can come up with since I don?t know the gender, BUT the oddest one I?ve heard is if you are grossed out by the heel of crusty bread you are having a boy, but if you would fight over the heel of a crusty bread it?s a girl. Why does what slice of bread you prefer determine gender?! So silly! I?ve always been a heel person myself?PG or not PG?I?ll fight to the death (well, not really) for the heel of an Italian loaf or baguette!
Add me please!!
We are having a singleton from IUI#1...EDD 11/24
We find out gender on July 1st if the munchkin will cooperate...
No old wives tales just yet...
Can you add me please? EDD is November 22.
After four failed IVF's IUI w/ donor sperm worked!
Thanks!
please add me (i believe i replied last week too)
my EDD is 11/11 and we are having a singleton. i don't fall into the IUI/IVF/surprise categories because we did femara + trigger + TI, so not sure how you want to list that
we don't know the gender yet so I can't say anything about old wives' tales... haven't heard anything too crazy yet but my mom did say that if your linea negra is super dark, it's supposed to be a boy.

I've requested to be added the last two check-ins, but I am still not seeing my name on the list.
Due 11.11 with one little blessing. 
QOTD: We don't know if we are having a boy or girl yet, but if we are having a girl, then the whole, "A girl will steal your beauty," is definitely coming true for me.
