I am so, so sorry to hear that DreamofDaughter. My sway was an opposite too, and the fact that I'd run an hour every single day for more than 3 months, dieted, done intermittent fasting, no meat etc made me feel convinced in the end that it would be a girl, so it was hard news to take that it isn't and left me really shaken, with severe anxiety and insomnia for over 2 months. It's hard not to get your hopes up more than normal when you've actively swayed and start imagining your life a certain way, and combined with pregnancy hormones, it isn't pretty haha.
Now I am excited about our beautiful little boy, because after all, a baby is a BABY, not a penis or a vagina, so as much as I would love a daughter I am so grateful for a healthy baby and so stoked for my 2 year old that he will have a brother and best friend for life. I'm not sure that a pigeon pair would be as close through childhood and adulthood. If we do go for a third child some years down the line (not sure we will, going to see how we feel with 2 first), we'd pursue gender selection overseas (not legal here) because I can't face the antenatal anxiety / depression again. I wish I'd known how hard I'd take it, but don't think I would have gone to the extreme measure of IVF the second time around especially as we would have to remortgage our house and travel overseas. I am so sorry you have been through this, please feel free to reach out to me by DM if you want to talk. I'm thinking of you xxx

I want to say too that you had such a great sway for such a long time and did everything that you could, so I hope you're feeling ok, I can't even imagine what you've been through. Sending love and hugs and thinking of you xxx

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
