You keep hanging on this Hook Effect and the doctors knowledge of it as some end-all-be all of their ability to determine pregnancy. Those hcg levels are only used to determine early signs of pregnancy. The fact that doctors might not know of the Hook Effect is fairly irrelevant in this point in your pregnancy…

How cute. I remember when I used to hate one uppers but then stopped because it just was not enough hate for me. I upgraded to just hating everyone.

I always assume that people who blatantly lie like this are either a bit slow or have mental issues.

What does smart have to do with anything? There are a lot of smart people in this world and most could not give you medical diagnoses or read ultrasound pictures. Qualifications mean quite a lot actually. I am not going to go flying in a plane with someone who does not have a pilots license. I am not going to…

Why would you listen to a biologist about medical issues? A biologist is not a doctor, even with a "human genetics speciality" still not a doctor, still not qualified to be making this diagnosis. The fact she has been through two pregnancies does not make her an expert in reading ultrasounds. That would qualify a…

As an American having driven on the Autobahn I can tell you that German drivers are some of the most polite rule following drivers I have ever had the experience driving with. I drove from northern Germany to the south. I would push the car I was driving as hard as I could 110mph (120mph down hill) and I don't think…

I am sorry but how do you know the baby has anencephaly? I thought you said no doctor would confirm that you were even pregnant. How is it that one of them told you the baby had anencephaly?

Well if you are pregnant and you know you are pregnant then why are you worrying so much about whether or not you are pregnant and other people acknowledging you are pregnant? You should just start acting like you are pregnant. Eat well, take care of yourself, etc. Stressing out like you are doing can't be healthy…

I am sorry but what does any of that have to do with what I said? I simply asserted that you so strongly believe that you are pregnant that you are blinding yourself to the possibility that you are not pregnant. Nothing to do with doctors or anything else. I am just talking about you.

Sounds like you are talking about your self here. You don't believe its possible that you are not pregnant so "your mind will come up with every rationalization under the sun rather than accept that your preconceived bias is in fact not true."

I am sorry but your logic is faulty with "Fact number four". That study was to test "failure to see that for which they are not looking". You are asking them to look for a pregnancy and they are not seeing it. This is the exact opposite of the study in which they did not see something that they were not asked to…
