Don't know if I can do this.

[love being a mummy]

Last night I was laying in bed thinking about things, thinking about when I get pregnant and going for my 12 week scan getting the dvd so I could share with you all.
I get the dvd home and study it only to see that it is another girl.
I felt so dissapointed, I honestly didn't think I would feel like that.
I just don't know how to feel anymore.

I said this before you know we just don't know how we really feel until we are there.
You already have a son so you know you can have a boy! I really hope you get another.

Thank you xx

You have more confidence then I do. Thanks for the encouragement.

It is a hard because there is, of course, a chance you could have another girl. Swaying is not at all 100%, it just tips your odds a bit. What is boils down (if you cannot go high tech for a boy) is whether you would feel better swaying and getting another girl or not swaying and getting a girl. Most of us feel that it is better to give it our best shot and what happens happens. But you know what, I think it is very important for swayers to go into it with an open mind so you are not shattered when you get an opposite of what you wanted. Best to head GD off at the pass if you can, if you know what I mean.

I do agree with the others and say, hey, you have one, you could have another.

I totally understand how you feel. Just remember though that if you don't try, you have zero chance at a boy.

my thinking was that even if I got an opposite (which I DID) then at least I had a baby to love. I know I feel a lot better having him, than not having him!! (I would still have had GD, and I wouldn'tve had him, either.)

I read somewhere on one of these forums somebody said you may regret your decision not to have another child, but you never regret a baby that you have. I agonised over the decision to TTC #4 for the same reasons you do. I so wanted to have 1 last shot at a girl, but was so worried that my sway would fail and I would again suffer with GD.

In the end DH said he did not want to TTC anymore (he was always less keen than me) and he said he was happy with the 3 boys we have. I was gutted but at the same time I agreed with him. We have 3 amazing boys and no matter what I love them dearly and am so proud of them. But lo and behold, a week or 2 after DH dropped the bombshell I got a BFP!! I guess it was meant to be!!

If this is a girl, I will be over the moon. If not I will have 4 amazing boys and nothing will change that. What matters is a happy family dynamic, and my boys get along brilliantly well. I have gotten over my GD, and I hope that it stays away even if this baby is a boy!!

I love what you wrote - having a baby to love :pregnant:

[love being a mummy]

I think I would be more relaxed about it if it was bub #3 or #4 but this will be baby #6 and what if it is a girl, how many more times can I say just one more, what if I want to keep going until I get my son?

I do understand what u are all saying, and I do agree with it all.

I've been thinking about it alot, I think I might have to say maybe it's just not meant to be. Maybe I am only supposed to have 1 son.

You have to do what you feel is right, if that means stopping then that is what you need to do xxxxx

I haven't been doing anything yet. My last bub I didn't know about swaying but I had heard that boys survive longer but are slower. I tracked my cycle for ages and then BD after O but I still got a girl.

[atomic sagebrush]

It's actually that girls survive longer but are slower, and that has been debunked. Both X and Y live about the same amount of time and swim about the same speed. Please read http://genderdreaming.com/forum/showthread.php?1562-What-are-the-REAL-differences-between-X-sperm-and-Y-sperm for a long explanation about this.

[love being a mummy]

lol I wrote boy instead of girl. I have since learnt that method has been proven incorrect that's why I want to try something different this time.

I used to think it was true cause DD2 and DD3 were both conceived DTD before O. but DD4 was conceived after O so I know that method doesn't work.

[atomic sagebrush]

I figured as much!! :agree: Always good to try something different altho for those of us with 4 of the same gender already, it's hard because it's like, "didn't I already try conceiving on this day or that day LOL??"

[charlieispy]

WOW 30 days until ovulation, I'm getting scared now lol
Think I really need to work on my plan and get it all sorted. I think I have an idea of what I want to do. Lets hope I can stick it and do it correctly.

I'll start taking my prenatal vitamins in 5 days so then I'll have enough so they last me until 3DPO

You probably had an O+12 timing then which is girl zone ;)

[love being a mummy]

Yeah could have been.

[LolaInLove]

I know my 2nd girl was O+12 for sure, even though I don't believe in timing.
