Pregnant after IF

When did you shedule your elective gender scan?

I can hardly believe I'm almost 12 weeks! I found a place locally that will do a gender scan any time after 15 weeks. It's still insane to me that I'm pregnant, let alone that I'm *almost* far enough to know the gender of our baby! Did you go right at 15 weeks or did you wait a little longer?

I gave you life, then you gave me mine.

TTC February 2008 to October 2008 One year forced break due to OIF deployment #2
Resumed TTC in October 2009 HSG, Hysteroscopy, S/A all clear
Five total medicated cycles and IUI #1-3 = BFN and all while we were still "unexplained IF"

  • We just waited until our a/s at 19 weeks to find out.  I didn't feel like I would trust the results earlier than that.

  • We are going on Tuesday. I will be exactly 17 weeks then. It is my dh's 40th birthday and the only thing he asked for. He is too cute. We are revealing to everyone at his party that Saturday with his birthday cake. :)

    The place we are going to does them as early as 16w. It is only $70. Cannot wait! Our a/s isn't for at least a month after that. No way we would've made it. Haha.

  • My a/s is at 18 weeks (on Monday) so I just waited.

  • We went right at 15 weeks.  Our tech guessed at our NT scan, and was pretty sure and the elective u/s place could tell 100% it was a girl at 15 weeks.  It was worth every penny, I'm not a patient person :)

  • We were going to do it at 16 weeks (the place locally won't do it before this), but after my NT scan last week, they scheduled my a/s for 17 weeks. I figure no sense in paying if they'll do it a week later. :) but I also got a guess at my scan last week. I'm very anxious to see if it's confirmed when I go on 28th!

    "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1
  • Our NT scan tech got a good shot and gave her "90% sure" guess, so we scheduled the elective gender scan for 15 weeks to confirm. The place we are going said they do them as early as 13 weeks.

  • Depending on when they actually schedule my a/s which I have a feeling won't be until 21 weeks I will get one done at 17/18 weeks at a local place. I am not a patient person.
