Hello ladies,
This is the first forum I've joined so please excuse my lack of abbreviations or if I don't use the right terminology - its all a bit daunting! I've had a good read through and after reading lots of positive and interesting posts Iam hoping Iam in the right place for some advice.
My husband and I are blessed with three sons aged 7, 5 and 22 months and would desperately love to have a daughter. We have been trying to conceive since our youngest was 3 months and have had a series of upsets. We had two miscarriages last year and this year no luck at all. I have had a series of blood tests and scans and according to my dr I have not ovulated in the last three months. He believes it to be due to stress, though they are looking into other possibilities. I have been advised to 'relax' and 'stop trying' but that is almost impossible.
I have friends who have been trying to conceive their first child with no luck, friends who have lost children and friends who have had full hysterectomy in their early 30s without any children, so I do feel incredibly selfish and greedy with my desire for a daughter and don't feel I can discuss it with anyone. I would really appreciate any advice or guidance from anyone in a similar boat, and especially hints on what to read on here to help sway pink. I worry as I'm not even ovulating that it won't work anyway but feel desperate!
Thankyou so much for your time and I look forward to any advice xx
