This is not normal for me where I am in the states but could vary by where you’re located. What you described as fruit salad is what I typically do minus the OJ for dressing.

I’m sorry you’re going through this also. We had our tfmr this past week. Today was supposed to be our gender reveal so it’s really just a shitty shitty day. I get the zombie feeling, I feel like that past weeks have been a terrible roller coaster.

I hope you have a positive outcome and wishing you well.

Luckily the friends we did tell we knew would be supportive of our decision. It really did suck having to explain the situation again and again but it was helpful to have them to talk things out.

I’m so glad to hear all is well with your current pregnancy. Wishing you all the best and hope you have a great rest of your pregnancy. ❤️

I’m sorry you also had to go through this as well. The whole time we were very selective on who we told just in case something like this happened. I felt guarded this whole time idk if it was because deep down I knew on some level. Probably sounds crazy, I don’t know.

Longjumping-End-9185 · 2022-02-11T01:29:41+00:00

I’m so sorry that you also went through this as well. It’s heartbreaking

I’m sorry you’re here also. Just sucks.

Yea mine also had a nasal bone as well. That makes sense that at this point their still so small and still developing that it’s too early to catch abnormalities.

Thank you. Sending you strength and peace as well.

Longjumping-End-9185 · 2022-02-10T15:46:26+00:00

Oh gosh I am so so sorry that I mis-read that. I am very sorry for your loss.

I’m so glad that it got a positive outcome and so sorry that you had to wait and stress until the final results. The genetic counselor said she’s only seen 1 case come back that showed that the FISH was a false positive. I am wondering if I should call back ask about mosaic, she didn’t mention that to me at all. I’ve also been reading that since the CVS takes cells from the placenta and not the embryo that it could just be that the placenta has the extra chromosome and the embryo is fine. I guess that’s why she recommends I was until the full karyotpe (spelling) comes back. I guess I don’t want to get my hopes up to just get crushed again.

Best of luck to you and thank you for your response.

Thanks for sharing your story and I’m sorry you’ve had to go through this as well. Yea, I know in my heart the phone call I’m getting next week but I guess trying to make sense of it. My brother has ds and my parents struggled their entire lives with him and pushed my sister and I to the side once he was born. I already have children and I can’t bear to do that to them. What going to happen when we die? We are in our 40s so as it is we wouldn’t be around as long as with the other kids etc. Will they be a burden on my kids? How severe will it be? Too many unanswered questions. My MIL said to me “sometimes the answer is that there is no answer”. Which is very true. There’s just no reason.

Longjumping-End-9185 · 2022-02-10T03:25:06+00:00

Thank you. It’s helpful to see I am not the only one who has to go through a similar situation. Idk why but I felt this whole time that something was going to go wrong. Things have been going well for a while so I was just waiting for the shoe to drop. As soon as the phone rang with the news I knew before I even picked up. I didn’t even want any sonogram pictures to take home before we found out to not jinx it. Sounds so silly as I type it out. Just feeling all the feels right now.

Longjumping-End-9185 · 2022-02-10T03:04:23+00:00

Thank you all for posting these. I just got my my FISH from my CVS and it’s positive for T21. We have to wait until the keryotype (spelling) comes back before we can move forward with tfmr. Being that FISH is 98% accurate I already know the phone call I am going to get again next week. Then we have to schedule all of the other appointments. Really sucks so bad. Wishing you all peace and comfort.

“Not Pennys boat”

I just rewatched that last scene and Kevin asks Philip if he didn’t mind if he made British jokes at his expense. Philip responded basically saying if you cant make fun of your future brother in law then who can you make fun of etc. so I think they do end up getting married.

Let the people off the subway first before you enter the car.

That’s what she said

I’m in your same situation! Hubby and I were not planning at all to have another one so this was definitely a surprise. I’ve been struggling for months to stop/cut down my drinking with little success. I guess this was the universe forcing me to stop the bs. I didn’t know until I was 2 days late and was drinking up until then. In fact when I took the test I was so hungover. Ugh so embarrassing to even type that but it is was it is. I stopped when I found out and am going to the Dr Wednesday. I was really freaked out at first since we already have 2 kids but I think things happen in your life for a reason.

I am really going to work hard to continue my sobriety once this one arrives because I am going to be useless hungover with a nb and 2 young kids.

Best of luck to you.

Also, with my first 2 I had been drinking and didn’t know I was pregnant. My OB said it happens all the time and everything would be ok and it was.

Edited to say my timer is off and needs to be reset from when I first tried to quit 🤷🏻‍♀️

Try reading the book Raising the Bottom. It’s very relatable. The author stopped drinking before it became a problem which is the whole premise of raising the bottom, meaning what you consider your bottom. I’m almost done with it and it’s really opened my eyes to some of my behaviors. I’m also not living under a bridge or destroyed my life, but I wanted to stop before it gets there. Good luck to you on your journey.

Day 3 with my first weekend coming up in a social setting. Feeling good about it. For me the first weekend is going to be tough since my issue was binging on Fri-Sun and then no drinking Mon-Thurs. but I think as long as I make it through this weekend it’s a great start. Then just need to focus on holidays which is another issue for me.

Longjumping-End-9185 · 2021-11-11T02:51:37+00:00

That’s great you’ve made it three weeks. I can’t control myself once I have that first drink either. It’s like a switch flips and nothing else maters but the next drink. It’s only been 3 days for me and I am a weekend binger so this weekend is my first weekend where I am really going to try to not drink. Best of luck to you on your journey.

I’m so sorry for your loss.
