Update! Please please have a guess

[retrolove1]

These are my scan pictures from today. Couldn't get a perfect nub shot but looks very boyish to me. I'm only 12 weeks exactly too. Trying to think positive :(

Thanks for looking. X x

I've added two of the same main picture of the baby, one is grey scale (original) and the other in black and white which takes out the blurs.

[ELP]

They all look pretty flat to me so I'd guess girl for you :)

[retrolove1]

Really I thought they looked super boyish. You've just made me have a little bit of hope. Thank you. X

[BeadinMom]

I think they look flat, too.
I'm no expert, but I definitely think you have hope for pink!!
Crossing fingers & toes for you!! :)

[retrolove1]

Wow I'm shocked. Thank you

Can I have some more guesses please?? X

[nuthinbutpink]

50/50. First pic I think it's hard to tell angle.

[retrolove1]

Thank you nuthinbutpink. Xx

[lovemy4]

Tricky one. Maybe a 55/45 pink lean.

[GimmeaG]

I think pink

[Rainbow baby]

I think they look boyish!

[hotdogz&boyz]

First pic had me leaning girl. Third pic I see a bit more boy angle. Shape is girly. And it really depends on if that angle is just from the angle of the shot. I would go slightly girl. You certainly are in the game for a girl!

[Lh8609]

Think pink but could go either way

[retrolove1]

Thank you for your replies. It was hard to see during the scan at first it looked flat and then suddenly it looked at an angle. At least I have a little bit of hope, I was sure a boy.

Would love more guesses still please. Xx

[kaseybaby]

I am 50/50 but wanted to wish you luck

[retrolove1]

Thank you! X

[Lashes85]

Im going to say boy. Hope im wrong though xx

[retrolove1]

Thank you. It's driving me crazy not having a definite nub. Any more guesses? X

[retrolove1]

Bump! Please need more guesses x

[retrolove1]

I've put all of my photos into this post. Hopefully get some more guesses. X

[atomic sagebrush]

I honestly don't see anything that gives me much of a clue!! I'm sorry!!

[Cecaa]

i think 50/50 but i hope for you it will be a baby boy :D btw what a beautiful clear photo that 1st one.. and that for 12weeks! so cute

[retrolove1]

Thanks Atomic and Cecaa. I'm actually hoping for a girl Cecaa because I already have two gorgeous sons. It is a lovely photo.

I still have a little hope, not had hardly any all boy guesses yet xx

[laurapandf]

I think girl!!

[laurapandf]

Girl

[retrolove1]

Thank you for your guesses. I still shocked on how many girl/leaning girl guesses :)

X

[pinkorblue]

I agree first one is a hard angle but nub looks pretty flat to me.....maybe girl :-D xx

[Sway&Wish]

guessing girl :)

[retrolove1]

Thank you for your guesses. Ahh can't believe I've actually had girl guesses :) 17 days until gender scan x

[monkeysnuffer]

Pink

[retrolove1]

Eek :) thanks for the guesses. Hope you are correct x

[SoulSister]

I am not an expert by any means, but I thought it looked girly from the angle. It definitely doesn't scream boy. GOOD LUCK, got everything crossed for you that you get to hear PINK at the next scan.

Edited to add: have you posted in the skull theory area? Cause that is one cute baby, very nice first photo.

[monkeysnuffer]

Girl guess

[myrainbowgirl]

Yes, most pics are girly. GL!

[retrolove1]

Thank you, really love having guesses. The scan was over a week ago and I'm still nubsessing lol.

Didn't even know there was a skull theory section, will have a look. Would love more guesses :)

Xxx

[two1984]

Hi,
Picture 2 and 3 make me think boy but all the rest look girly to me so I will say girl! I think the bottom one looks very girly!

[retrolove1]

Thank you. They are difficult pictures x

[monkeysnuffer]

Girl...I'm not an expert but went on nub and little pointed chin. What a cutie!

[retrolove1]

Thanks :) the baby does look very cute! X

[Expecting#2Feb14]

Leaning girl, but definitely tricky!! Good luck!!

[retrolove1]

Thank you :) 2 weeks Monday until gender scan, wish it would hurry up! x

[fullredbarn]

I would lean toward girl but so early it's hard to tell. Hope you find out soon!

[retrolove1]

Thank you for guessing :) x

[Hebees]

By the skull I thought boy but the nub girl but I'm leaning more girly now xxx

[retrolove1]

Trust you to blow my skull theory ;), I thought it was a lovely round girl skull!

Hope you are correct. 2 weeks :) x

[onebigwish]

Really cant say but guessing boy from the skull, but thats only a guess.

[retrolove1]

Thanks. I thought it was a girl skull, I am a bit rubbish though x

[MummyGibson]

Hey I would lean towards girl :-) one of the pics is quite boyish but I have everything crossed for u and not long until u find out!! Good luck

[retrolove1]

Thank you! 2 weeks today. xxx

[retrolove1]

Got baby brain and confused about what difference the angle of the baby makes. Some have said that the angle is tricky. If the baby is laying flat does that give a more accurate guess. How does the angle of the spine affect how the nub looks?

Xx

[fivebabies]

I'm leaning girl. In my opinion the skull theory is total crap. 3 of my babies proved it to be completely wrong.

Good luck!!

[retrolove1]

Thank you for guessing :) Counting down the days under I find out.

Would still love more guesses xxx

[Adia]

I'd guess but I am horrible at those guesses, when do you have a gender scan??

[retrolove1]

A week Monday :) x

[Lindsay]

I think the third pic looks like a boy and 4th looks like a girl, lol.

[retrolove1]

LOL, that third picture is the one that I think throws people off. I'm not sure if I can actually see a boy nub though but everything down there does seem to be pointing up. Hoping it's just shadows. xx

[lyssathecrunch]

I actually don't see much of a nub in any of them, but that makes me lean towards pink!

[retrolove1]

Thanks, hope you are right :) x

[pinkdreamer]

Looks very girlie to me :) x

[mommymachine]

Good luck with your scan! I'm 50/50 as some look boy and some look Girly.

[retrolove1]

I like your reply lots Pinkdreamer haha. Thank you mommymachine, I'm happy with 50/50 xx

[Niva]

The two little lines above where the nub would be in some of the shots make me think it'll turn out to be a boy. But I hope I am wrong! The angle of the one obvious nub (in the last pic) is not clearly boy, though, so I think you still have a pink chance. :)

[retrolove1]

Thank you. To me they all look boyish, I am totally shocked by the girl guesses. xxx

[lemonmeringue]

Tricky one, but I think girl.

[Bellyboo21]

Hi retrolove1 ,,, I'm thinking a little Princess,,
Best of luck,, take care xx

[retrolove1]

Thank you!!! Really hope you are correct, 6 days until gender scan. X

[monkeysnuffer]

Looks girl. Oh wow 6 days so exciting!!! sending you pink dust

[AwaitingMyPrince]

Im leaning girl too. Really hope you get your girl!

[Thorz300]

I'm not good at nubs..... Possibly girl but its tough.

[retrolove1]

Thank you for your replies. Gender scan on Monday :) x

[Lashes85]

So excited for you retrolove... Keeping everything crossed for Pink xxx

[retrolove1]

Thank you. Turtle replied saying that she can not guess by my scan photos because not a good nub picture :(

It's nearly Monday eek x

[katewantsagirl]

I get a boy vibe but i hope im wrong and you get your wee girl!! Goodluck!!!

[3littleladies]

Bump

[3littleladies]

I think Boy! Hope you get your girl though!

[retrolove1]

Oh no boy guesses :( rather you be hones though :)

I wonder why she guessed opposite, did she explain what she saw?

Scan tomorrow morning :/ any final guesses?

[1+2+3boys]

Goodluck for tomorrow. I am hoping your hear girl

[pinkdreamer]

I've guessed already but just wanted to say good luck for your scan tomorrow! Can't wait for the update x

[AwaitingMyPrince]

Stalking!! Good luck at your scan!

[retrolove1]

Thank you :) x

[BlueMom]

Good luck tomorrow!!

[lyssathecrunch]

I actually think the fact Turtle didn't see any gender clues in your pic's might work in your girl-favor! It means she absolutely didn't see a penis, while seeing girl parts is sometimes more difficult. I definitely think there's still room for hope though. And I think she guessed the opposite for my ultrasound because she took into consideration the angle of baby's spine & despite the slight tilt in the nub, it looks girly. Anyways, how exciting you'll know VERY soon! Yay Monday!

[retrolove1]

I hope you are right.

I'm suddenly very nervous and not sure if I want to find out, means my dreams are well and truely over. Don't think I'll be sleeping well tonight x

[katewantsagirl]

Good luck!!!!!! Xxxxx

[retrolove1]

Thank you x

[Mummy-P]

Good luck for tomorrow, looking forward to your update and really hope it's the news that you want. Big hugs x

[My2Sons]

I hope it's your princess

[3littleladies]

Good luck, hope you get your little lady!

[Two of a Kind]

Good Luck!

[retrolove1]

Thank you everyone. Been up since 5.15am because couldn't sleep. Scan is at 11. I really didn't think I would be this nervous. xx

[monkeysnuffer]

Oh good luck!

[retrolove1]

Thank you x

[luckylass]

Best of luck this morning. Keeping fingers crossed for you.

[pinkdreamer]

I know the feeling, good luck hun and really hoping you hear pink - I think you have a good chance ;) x

[retrolove1]

Thank you ladies. I appreciate being able to express my true feelings on here. X

[Loulou2210]

I'm thinking boy but its a tricky one not 100% convinced x

[deaks66]

Dont think i guessed as totally 50/50. Hope you hear girl but if its boy, really it will all turn out fine. x

[retrolove1]

Thank you. Driving there now. X

[deaks66]

good luck

[pinkdreamer]

Any news?? X

[retrolove1]

It's another boy :( trying to hold back the tears. He's healthy which is the main thing. X

[pinkdreamer]

Aww hun, huge hugs I'm sure he'll be such a special little one and you'll fall in love as soon as you see him. Take all the time you need though and don't feel guilty for crying x

[AwaitingMyPrince]

Oh retrolove1... I know no words can make you feel better now :(
But as you said he's healthy.thats what matters most. Its alright to grieve now. Hope you find peace. Im really sorry.

[luckylass]

Sorry you are feeling sad and didnt hear pink but don't feel guilty. You are mourning not having a girl and that is totally different to not wanting and loving your new son. I bet he will be the perfect addition to your family when he arrives. Take care.

[Dreamofpink]

Congratulations on your little boy. I know how hard it is to hear it again when you're desperate for a girl. I was in your position almost 9 weeks ago & whilst it may not feel like it now I promise it does get easier. A brother is the best gift you can ever give to your ds. We have a thread running for opposites due this winter & you're more than welcome to join. The ladies are very supportive & understanding. Huge hugs x

[BlueMom]

I'm sorry retro, I even don't know what to say. I know what you're going through right now, I'm there too. Apparently a third boy was meant for us, I still can't stop crying when I think I'll never have a girl, no matter where I am, I just can't help it. I don't understand god's plan for me, but I'm sure a boy it's the perfect fit for our family, I wish I could accept that as soon as possible. Hugs.:bighug:

[retrolove1]

Thank you so much ladies. I feel bad for just wanted to cry every time I think I will never have a daughter because I can't go through this again so this will be our last. I always saw myself with a daughter. Dreading telling family too, still no granddaughters. I didn't tell anyone about my scan today and I'm glad I didn't because I haven't been able to say much without crying. X

[menlc611]

Please don't feel guilty for crying or feeling the way you're feeling!! I cried for days after I found out DS3 was a boy.. He's now 18 months and I thank God for him everyday. He has brought such joy to our lives!! Do what you need to do hun!! I know it's hard!!

[retrolove1]

Thank you so much. I know it will get easier. OH wants to go to his parents to tell them. I'm so worried that I will be able to tell they are disappointed and that will start me off again. X

[tmbabcock]

So sorry you didn't get your dg. I saw your other post and your baby looks beautiful. It'll be okay. You have every right to cry and mourn the loss of not having a girl. You will love this little boy to bits though.

[monkeysnuffer]

I am sorry you are hurting. I am here if you want to talk.

[deaks66]

Oh I'm so sorry, Ive been exactly there and it's just awful to hear the opposite of what you wanted and feel guilty for feeling like that. Like lucky lass said, its ok to mourn not having a dd, it's not the same as not wanting your son. I promise it will get easier over the weeks and by the time he is due (if not way earlier) you will be so excited to meet him. I always said never another, but number 4 here we go! Take care

[hotdogz&boyz]

I am really sorry you are feeling so sad. Give yourself time to mourn your visions. I think it's probably smarter for either OH to tell his folks alone or to hold off entirely. It's not fair to you to have to deal with their emotions when you are so raw yourself. Big hugs. I hope you feel better soon.

[retrolove1]

Thank you so much. Your kind words mean so much! X

[nuthinbutpink]

I'm so sorry. My heart aches for you. Many of us have been there. My family knew I wanted a boy but they handled it very graciously.

Perhaps if you are open with your feelings they will comfort you in your time of need. There's no shame in wanting to raise both genders. If they have a little GD that's understandable. I'm sure we can all relate!

It's hard to keep this bottled up. I'm glad he looks healthy!

[myrainbowgirl]

Retrolove,
Oh how I feel your pain! It is awful. I am pregnant with DS#4, and just KNEW he was a girl. Have felt incredibly heartbroken...found out about a month ago, and after a couple of weeks, I can say I am feeling much better now. I know I will love him the moment I lay eyes on him, but in the meantime, I am grieving the vision I had for my perfect little family. I know you are going through the same thing, and it is SO hard. But you will get there...let yourself grieve. It's okay! Huge hugs!!

[retrolove1]

I know it will all be OK in the end and like you've all said it will get easier. I'm going to be even more envious of people who have one of each now. All the old wife tales said girl, everything was pointing in that direction. X

[ilovebagels]

oh no! I was waiting for this update, i'm so sorry you didn't hear pink. all of my old wives tales said girl and i'm having a boy, too. so i feel ya!

where is that opposites thread, i'd like to join!?

[two1984]

I'm sorry you didn't hear girl retrolove, I was really hoping you would get your DG. So so pleased baby is healthy though and congratulations on your little boy. You know yourself that boys are great, this one will be too.

This may or may not help, but I had a few days of feeling really disappointed when we found out DS2 was a boy ( I was adamant he would be our last!).. it did get better and once he was born I felt so so guilty for feeling like that because he is just wonderful and would not have him any other way. I hope when we find out a week on friday that if this one is indeed another boy, I will hopefully remember how I felt when DS2 was born.
I hope the reactions of family members don't make you feel any worse. I too am dreading telling people - we are toying with the idea of not telling anyone if we find out. Could you do that? Or maybe wait until you are feeling stronger?
Sending you lots of hugs and strength.

[retrolove1]

Thank you. I also had GD with DS2 and remember having a quick cry when finding out but this is on a whole different level. I really didn't think I would of found it this hard. My family know that I want to find out and my OH have told his family so I guess I will have to tell them soon.

I hope you get your daughter x

[two1984]

Huge hugs. I'm so sorry you are feeling like this. I know I can't be much help, but please don't be hard on yourself, i think how you are feeling is completely natural when you have wanted something so much. I know it is of no use now whilst everything is so fresh, but from reading the posts in the gender disappointment forums it definitely will get easier.

[mamato3girls]

Im sorry, retrolove. I remember how I felt when I found out baby #3 was another girl (and it looks like baby #4 may be too). I cried and felt so disappointed. If its any consolation, there's something sooooo sweet about that third baby. I adore my third. She's the sweetest little thing ever. I've heard the same thing over and over again when people comment on their 3rd child of the same gender, whether it be all boys or all girls. And yes, it pains me when people say that a family is only perfect if theres each gender. The societal (and family) pressure is so hard. It will get better. As soon as you see his sweet face, you'll fall in love and won't want him to be any different. HUGS!!!

[retrolove1]

Thank you everyone. I'm already feeling better. Finally told family and they seemed fine which shocked me. I think their reaction was adding to my upset and right now I'm feeling content if that's the right word to use.

I just keep looking at his beautiful 4D images xx

[3littleladies]

Congrats Retro, that's awesome, you will see just how special he is going to be!

[retrolove1]

Haven't been upset once today and show most of my work colleagues. Everyone has been great and I've not had any stupid comments :) x

[3littleladies]

That's the way to be retro, I wish I was like that when I found out with my third, however she's 15mths now and I wouldn't trade her in for 5 boys!! I just wish I didn't experience gd because it would have made my pregnancy wonderful, I regret that.

That's great you haven't got silly comments, I was surprised also when I told people we were having another girl, I only had 2 stupid comments, I was expecting more.

[retrolove1]

I don't think my GD will ever go, I think I'll always be jealous of others because they have what I want. I actually dislike people who have one of each haha. X

When I had my second dd I was a bit bummed but didnt experience the ugly gd & then i actually ended up being so happy that I didnt get the pigeon pair so I never envied people with a boy & girl, its only now that ive had my 3rd dd that I get jelous when I see two of the same gender & then their 3rd is the opposite!

[razorkane]

I am not confident but first guess is girl

[AMY]

I feel the same. I can tell you what helped me out. I slowly made sur I defriend all friends with girls and started builiding up new friendships with only boy moms especially those that are in the age where they would not go for another one ;-) nasty I know, but it really helped mento cope with my Jealousy. For me this gd problem has changed my personality. But its great to meet with friends that have boys only and no gd at all to see that this is my problem because they looknat things different. And in these moments I don' t miss the dresses and the pink stuff because there is still a lot fun I can have with my boys instead. But then there are these dark moments, dreams at night... I told my Doc I don' t wang to hear the gender of my third before so I feel strong during pregnancy. But I know its gonna be tough to stand the coments when hes finally born next year. ... I am scared.hoping that a charming little baby boy will make them all shut up...

Amy I hope your GD goes. I'm fine now, time is a healer. I won't lie and say that I don't want a daughter because I do but I'm now completely smitten with this little guy :) xx

[halive04]

No expert but Seems all pink cuz the nub looks pretty flat n parallel to the spine
: ) : )

[HopefulMonster]

I'm sorry you didn't hear pink, but huge congrats on a healthy baby, looks like such a cutie too! I just wanted to say that Though it's hard. I try not to be jealous of other people because a lot of them are unhappy with their gender makeup, people just don't say anything. I have a friend with one of each, I figured she was smug and contented, and I was jealous but it turned out she was actually heartbroken to get a girl after having a boy because she desperately wanted to give her son a brother to play and grow up with. Funny how one persons nightmare is another's dream! Xxxxx

That is always hard for me too 3littleladies. DD3 was supposed to be the boy so any time I see a friend effortlessly get GGB or BBG it guts me. I've gotten better but with all these New Year's babies being born in the past few weeks it drags some old GD to the surface.

[AMY]

Would make me sad too NBP, if I would have three girls and one boy I think my life and happyness would be different...

It's so true Hopeful Monster. I would have been exactly like that with my 2nd. I really wanted another boy so ds1 would have a brother and didn't realise how much until my scan confirmed boy. I never ever wanted a pidgeon pair and know plenty of other who don't either. As you said one persons dream is anothers nightmare. I never heard of swaying until after I was pregnant with my 3rd (joined here the same month) so never knew of GD but now my heart breaks when I see people suffering with it and wish everyone had their dream family make-up.

Retrolove you sound like such a lovely person with such a kind heart and this little man will be so lucky to have you as his mammy.

[retrolove1]

Thanks all. I guess we don't know what others want and only hear what we want to hear like people saying one of each is perfect.

My 20 week scan is on Monday, looking forward to seeing him again. He is always kicking me now :) xx

Oh fab. Be sure to post a picture of your cutie after the scan. My little one is 7 months this week and will probably be our last so love seeing others pics as it is such a wonderful time.
