I found out something that may be very interesting to people who get late HPT BFP’s

In this study published by Yaron Y et al in Human Reproduction the authors studied 1,325 pregnant women with singleton pregnancies at 10-13 weeks.and compared different hormone levels including the pregnancy hormone hCG human chorionic gonadotropin between women carrying a male and a female fetus They found that women who had a female fetus had hCG levels significantly higher than women who carried a male fetus. This finding is consistent with that found by several other researchers.

These findings may have implications not only on evaluating risks of Down syndrome (women carrying female fetuses had a higher risk for Down syndrome), but also on timing of a pregnancy test. If women carrying a male fetus have lower hCG levels then it may be possible that their first positive urine pregnancy test could be delayed because of the male gender.

Found this today hope people find it interesting!!!!

That is interesting. Ive also just discovered I have a huge aversion to the word fetus lol. x

yeah i never notived it before i mean can they not just say female baby gees some docs can be so un-emotional!!

But does give you hope when you get those BFN and others are getting BFP's before you

That is interesting.
H.xxx

Twinkle, thats so interesting.
Would be interested to post that in the pregnnacy forum to see if there was any truth xxxx

thats what I was thinking Emma! Greatminds! But really hoping its linked to baby brain. hee hee

Its been true for my singleton pg, and i was v late getting a BFP this time so maybe this one is a boy as well ....

xxDBxx

Have posted this in Pregnancy to see what they think.

ha ha cooper - well i would say your dfeinately in with a chance as I can think of many things to describe my mind at the moment and it's certainly not great! xxxxx

can someone explain it in english for me please?my brain doesnt work and ive had a long day!!

lol

what do you think im having?

Clairehair that would mean you are having a girl !! Since the HCG was detected so early, 10 DPO. A boy probably 13dpo and later !
