PGS report

Today we received our PGS report. 6 healthy babes! The report listed each embryos gender 😳... didn’t expect to see that. 5 boys and 1 girl. How do you all feel about gender selection? I’m obviously happy either way just to have a healthy baby but a part of me worries what if something were to happen to the female embryo while in storage. I’ve always dreamed of a baby girl and since all of my dreams have been let down through this process maybe getting a little control is ok?

Congrats!!! Pick the healthiest. I just found out today all of my 5/5 were genetically abnormal. I’m devastated I don’t have any this round 😕

I think you should go with the girl and the boy. Could you have twins then?

I was over joyed when I found out about the gender of my embryos. 2 girls and 2 boys. It’s really hard to choose the gender. I’m thinking of going random without knowing the gender.

If I was in your shoes and it was my first, j would probably ask them to pick the embryo with the best grade

I've gone private and they've told us there not allowed to tell us the gender, Id be happy to be pregnant as I've been trying for 5 years

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
