Ramzi's Method: Placenta placement gender prediction?

courtneyysmilescourtneyysmiles member
edited February 2014 in 1st Trimester
I'm okay with patiently waiting for the 20 week mark, I'm just curious as to whether or not this method is true for me. I asked at my last ultrasound, but they didn't tell me what side the placenta was on...so basically, are any of you good at reading ultrasounds and deciphering locations of different things in the picture? 
My 6 week and 10 week ultrasounds are attached. (The 6 week is transvaginal)

    I've only been using thebump for like a week, and it never fails to amaze me how rude and hateful people on here are. I thought the mumblr community on tumblr was bad, but good Lord. All I did was ask a question, and basically every reply except one was rude. It doesn't always take a doctor to answer every question. I saw other message boards on other sites where ladies were helping others to know where theirs was located, so I figured maybe if I posted my pictures on a site I was actually a part of, you guys might actually be helpful, considering you're moms, and some of you have already been through at least one (some more) pregnancy(ies). But God forbid.

    *I* didn't try to tell *you* how anything works. I said for a board that's supposed to offer "support and information" your boards suck, and you guys are awful.

    @RedheadBaker haygurlhay said so herself: "Blah blah you guys are so mean! 

    Hateful bitches! 

    This site is for support and information!

    (Almost hit bingo, come on OP)" 

    Just going off what the girls who have been here for years said.

    She actually said it herself on the show your bump thread...but it's whatever. 
    RedheadBaker: Yup, you sure got me. I don't provide any good information or any support these boards. ::eyeroll::

    Also a little lesson in Internet safety: it took me 3 seconds to find your public Facebook and your email address.
    My PUBLIC facebook page? Oh no! and my email accounts that I only use for these sites? 
    Oh Lord...that could be tragic.

    Probably not, but on any other site, all a person needs is your ip address, which can be found just from you visiting a page, no other information whatsoever...so really, I'm not terribly worried about a bunch of rude ass mom's on a baby website anyway.

    Because I can be? I have just as much right to be here as you do, and I haven't done anything wrong, and this was my discussion? Am I not allowed to comment on my own thing? I didn't dish anything out until you were all massive jerks, like sorry some people are decent?

    Other than being supportive and congratulating people on a few of the pregnant after loss boards, this, and the show your bump board are the only two that I've been on. I'm not going to be a sweet little butterfly to people who are rude and hateful to me. I'm only human.

    Your comment was actually the first rude one, like I asked a simple question, and you responded with "Are we good at reading ultrasounds?! UM...NO!" Ok. So you're not good at it or you don't know how, but there are plenty of people who might know how, so why speak for everyone? Like I said, I saw on other websites, that some of the girls DID know how...but I wasn't a part of those websites, so I thought I would post my ultrasound pictures on a website that I was actually a part of to see if anyone here good do the same. I didn't post it because I thought that everybody and their brother would know how, I understand that not everyone is a doctor, nurse, or ultrasound tech. I'm not stupid. Quoted from my original post, I said, "are any of you good at reading ultrasounds and deciphering locations of different things in the picture?" So if you don't know how, you could have simply skipped over this board, but instead you chose to comment. 

    My feelings aren't hurt either, and really I don't care, I just find you guys here really amusing. I've already switched over to another website, and they're all a lot more supportive and informative there. I just think it's really funny that you guys can tear people down, and then when someone calls you out for doing it, they get tagged for abuse. lol. 

    Also, like I said in my original post. I don't care to find out the gender/sex/whatever you want to call it (my doctor calls it a gender scan..so whatever) right now, I'm fine with waiting. I just wanted to see if the method rang true for my pregnancy, because I have a lot of friends who are doing it too. If it's been debunked, that's cool. I was still curious. I really don't see why everyone jumped on my case over a simple question. God forbid, I respond or even try to defend myself.

    I didn't expect my questions to just be answered, I just didn't expect people to be so ridiculous. There is a nicer way to go about things, and a lot of the ladies on this site, are really bad at it. I've been on the knot and nest for a lot longer, and I didn't expect this part of the site to be so different. If you've found support, that's cool..but coming from another person who's lost two, and is finally making it through a pregnancy, I've found slim to none. All I did was ask a simple question, and had multiple people jump my case for it. I won't reply to anything else on this discussion, I'm just going to continue to post try to be helpful or supportive to others on theirs.

    @PrimRoseMama and @rainydayluck :Allying isn't the term I would use? I don't know who she is, and it's says she's not found? I haven't really paid attention to user names unless I'm responding directly to you, otherwise, I like whatever comments I agreed with? I'm pretty sure that if you went through all the board I've looked at today, I probably liked comments from a lot of people that I've addressed here today... 
    Just because we disagree on one thing doesn't mean that I won't agree with you elsewhere. Like I said, I've only been here for a week, how am I supposed to know who is a sad excuse for a human being and who's not? Today is the only day I've even been through the boards.

    Really? You are love-button pressing their ignorant statements. You are being associated with a very rude, inflammatory & ignorant person. Read the thread-- if you love things like that I can promise your welcome will expire. I suggest lurking. All I've seen you do is bitch about how the community exists as-is. The white-knighting is not attractive at all. It's just annoying.
    That's what I'm trying to do. Am I seriously and awful person because I didn't know that everyone apparently hates someone else, and I liked her comments such as:

    "My priorities are just fine. I'm getting everything checked at another appt - but thank you for your concern" 

    "Just because I made a forum about wanting to know the sex of my baby doesn't mean that I don't think about other things like his or her health. Like I said I have an appt already to test for basically everything. Since I have that covered already I figured I may as we'll test for gender. I honestly feel bad for your husbands - being with people who judge without knowing full stories. A post about gender doesent mean you know my thoughts 24/7 and know what I am and are no worrying about. 
    Don't be so quick to judge people."

    "Lol everyone on here is a complete ass. I asked a question and expected an answer to that question. I didn't ask for anyone's opinions."


    "I'm sorry I don't wana dress my son in dresses and paint his room pink with a white crib. I also don't want everything on my registry to be girly if I'm In fact not having a girl. I'm having my baby shower relatively early so it would be nice to have sex specific things on my registry for people to start buying."

    "Their are specific things I want for a boy and different things I want for a girl. If some people feel differently then that's fine but that's not how I feel about it."


    Those are the comments I liked. DEAR GOD, I am such an awful person! Someone should hang me in the streets.

    I understand that. I do..and I apologized for liking the comments, I just don't understand how even after I apologize, I'm still an awful person. I can't take it back. I already said I didn't read the whole thread, and I apologized for that too. I don't know the hurtful things she said, and after losing two babies and reading her comment about how to have a fool proof healthy pregnancy, I didn't care to read any more of that thread. I said I was sorry, can you guys not just accept it and move on?

    Well, in my defense, all I'd seen since joining here, is that you guys haven't been exactly welcoming. So like I said, I apologized. At this point, I don't care if you except it or not, because you're strangers on the internet. I did what I could, and I don't care enough to make a new email, or account. The only reason I have this one is because I've had it since being part of theknot. I don't even know what pgal is. 

    If you don't like me, that's cool. I'll live.

    In your offense, since you've been here you haven't been, how shall I say this, smart. You've been having to do a lot of apologizing... guess why that is? Because you're saying a lot of fucked up shit. EDUCATE YOURSELF, there is no excuse to not at least take 30 min. and read the TTGP blog, or any intro announcement for that matter.

    Not reading every single comment on something, because a comment made you mad= not smart. 
    Explaining that I liked some comments without reading an entire 6+ pages of comments = saying fucked up shit. 

    Maybe you don't feel that there is an excuse, but considering that I'm new, and I'm just leaning how this site even works, I have absolutely no clue what the ttgp blog is, or where to find intro announcements, so maybe if you'd like to be helpful, instead of hateful...we'd get somewhere with this.

    YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT PGAL IS YET YOU CLAIM (in this thread) THAT "Other than being supportive and congratulating people on a few of the pregnant after loss boards, this, and the show your bump board are the only two that I've been on.".

    I find it hard to believe that you've been on some "pregnancy after loss" boards and you don't know what PGAL is... education.

    THE MORE YOU KNOW.
