Pregnant after IF

For those of you who know the gender of your LO

This may have been asked before, so if so, I'm sorry.

All of this "wives tales" stuff is making me crazy, lol. This is the one that has me most curious;

 If the baby?s heart rate is above 140 bpm, it is said that the baby will be a girl.  If it is under 140 bpm, then it will be a boy.  

So, what was your LO's heart rate?

Are you having a boy or girl?

Was this "tale" true or false for you?

 (thanks in advance)

  • That was true with my son.
    DS born 10/2008 TTC #2 since 8/2009 MFI and natural killer cell activation diagnosis IVF #4 = BFP!! Due 10/12!!
  • Except for the very first ultrasound done just before 7 weeks when baby's heart had just started beating, the hb has consistently been 150+. We are having a boy so that OWT was not correct for us. Chinese gender chart was wrong too!

  • My LO's heart rate was 136 bpm at first ultrasound, but has been higher than 150 bpm consistently since then.

     I am having a boy.

  • My 1st DD heart rate was always in the 160's so it was true.  This DD heart rate has been in the upper 130's to low 140's so not true.

  • In the beginning the heart rate was in the 170s and even now is always above 150 and we are having a boy.  So nope, wasn't true:)
  • I'm having a boy and his heart rate was always is the 150ish range.

  • I am having a boy and the baby's heart rate has never been below 140.  At my last appointment 19w3d that heart rate was 161, my other heart rates are in my siggy.

  • It was wrong for me. Baby's heartrate early on was 180-185 consistently and now it's around 150-155. I'm having a boy. The Chinese gender chart "predicted" right for me though.

  • Little One's heart rate was in the 170s during the first trimester.  So far in the second trimester, the heart rate has been in the high 150s/low 160s. 

    We're having a boy, so the it was false for us.

  • For DD it was true.

    This LO has had a high HB as well -- and we will find out next week hopefully.

    You know you have a 50/50 shot of being right....thats what DH always tells me! :)

  • False for me - my boy's heartrate is consistently in the 150s
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • We're having a girl.  At the very beginning, her heart rate was in the 140s-160s.  Then it settled and it's around 135-138bpm. 

    All babies' heart rates are high at first... but mine was hovering on the border of boy/girl - so I couldn't really tell!
  • It was true for one and false for the other.  I'm having two boys.
    Twin boys due 7/25/12
  • HR was always above 150 and it's a girl. So true for us but I didn't get into the OWT's much.
    Me (33)& DX: DOR, FSH-20.3; DH(28):SA=normal 8/11 HSG= clear!

    Our little girl's heartbeat was in the 130s for her first couple of ultrasounds.  But, it has been in the 150s and up since!

    ~SAIF/PAIF/Everyone Welcome~ 

    Me= 37 and DH = 41 

    Dx: DOR, Endo, APA+ (really high beta 2 glycoprotein antibody and high everything else tested), heterozygous MTHFR mutation, positive for lupus anticoagulant, high FSH, low AMH and both tubes blocked (per HSG on 3/8/11)

    IVF #1 - long lupron (with HGH, intralipids, lovenox and BA); 4 retrieved, 3 fertilized; ET 2 blasts and 1 frozen = BFN

    IVF #2 - a version of antagonist with EPP (with HGH, intralipids, lovenox and BA); 6 retrieved, 4 mature, 3 fertilized, 2 blasts and 1 frozen blast transferred on day 5 = BFN.

    IVF #3 April was postponed to May, May was canceled. June/July was canceled. Had a cyst aspiration and then began IVF #3 in August. ER on 8/22; ET on 8/24 with AH. +HPT on 9/5. Beta #1 (11dpo) = 3; Beta #2 (15dpo) = 29; Beta #3 (17dpo) = 60; Beta #4 (19 dpo) = 118. Heartbeat at 6 weeks 6 days =132.  Lil is here!

    TTC#2:  Trigger + TI = BFN; Clomid + Trigger + IUI = BFN.

    IVF #4:  BCP + MDLF + Lovenox = 7R, 1F = Transferred 1 6-cell embryo on day 3 = BFN

    IVF #5:  MDLF + Lovenox = 4R, 1F = Transferred 1 10-cell compacting embryo on day 3 = BFN

    IVF #6:  (New RE):  Long Antagonist November 2014 (transferred two 8 cell grade 1 embryos and froze one blast) = BFN

    FET#1:  BFN

  • My LO's heart rates have always been high.  I've had a scan at least every 2 weeks since 6 weeks.  All except the very first (at 6 weeks even) were over 140. They were like 180, 179, and then 2 or 3 in the 160's.  I'm having a boy confirmed by DNA during genetic testing.

    Also, I don't think hardly any of the OWT were true.  Most of mine pointed to girl.  I even took gender maker test and it said girl.  Baking soda test said girl.  The only thing that was right was the chinese calendar and my gut instinct.

     

    IF DX: DOR & Fragile X pre-mutation carrier
    2011: FSH 13.3 & E 99; AMH 0.54 2nd FSH 6.2 E 40's AFC: 8
    BFP from Clomid/IUI ~ Pre-e and IUGR during pregnancy ~ DS born 9/4/12
    Feb./March 2013: AMH less than 0.16 (undectable) and AFC = 4;
    BFP from supps ~ DS#2 due May 2014

  • I've only had 2 scans where they told me the heart rate, but at 12 weeks, it was 159, and at 20 weeks, it was 140. I'm having a girl :-)

  • thanks again everyone. I've never been into OWT's or things of such, but this pg has had so many people tell me so many things having to do with them. So, I thought I'd ask around on here. Just as i suspected, it's def just an OWT. :)

  • That is an old wives tale.  Our DS' heart rate was always 170-180's early on in the pg.  He is all boy!!
