Good luck and pink dust headed your way!

The big O has not been at all predictive of whose sways work!

I am devastated. We did a private ultrasound yesterday and it couldn't be clearer, it's a 4th boy. This is our last baby and I am grieving the daughter I will never have. I wish we had done so many things differently. So many things I would change, if I'd been more patient, stricter, had better followed the sway. I blame myself and am not looking forward to people's comments.
My family have been very understanding of my sadness and I'm sure I will love him when he is born. I just can't believe this is it, will never have a daughter I always dreamed of one day having.

[atomic sagebrush]

I'm so sorry it didn't go the way we hoped but huge congrats on your 4th boy!!

[LA_Girl]

I’m so sorry to read this.

I’m sure you will love your boy every bit as much as your other sons, and he will bring you so much joy, but I totally understand your pain. I’m glad your family has been understanding.

Be kind to yourself. I’ve seen “perfect” girl sways end up with boys, so I wouldn’t beat yourself up about not having been stricter.

Sending you lots of hugs.

[GCbb]

Thank you, I really appreciate your message.

I'm so sorry it didn't go the way we hoped but huge congrats on your 4th boy!!

Hi Atomic, I can't help but think if I had done more or done BETTER on my sway i could have gotten a daughter. This is my second failed sway and I am taking it very hard. I've actually started therapy to try to get to acceptance and make peace with never having a daughter.. Everyone tells me there's nothing I could have done to change this but I can't help wondering. I wish I could go back in time and do things differently, maybe I was too fertile after the 2 chemicals back-to-back, maybe I had cheated too much. I for sure shouldn't have had orgasms the week of ovulation and at attempt! what is your opinion on this, having seen so many failed sways and successes? Is it possible my husband isn't able to produce viable female sperm?

[atomic sagebrush]

No, it's not possible that your husband doesn't make female sperm. Men are made of XY cells that divide in the testicles to make 50% X 50% Y sperm. Now, could there be some mechanism that make X or Y sperm less hearty or able to fertilize an egg, maybe, but we have no evidence of that (and in fact plenty of evidence to the contrary, since we have seen people like the Duggars who have long runs of BG mixed, then a long run of boys, then a long run of girls (all of which are more kids than most of us even have) and that indicates that there is something that is changeable.

In the words of Gilda Radner, it's always something. There is always something that we did/didn't do and we can look back and think "it was this thing, it was that thing" but the truth is, we don't know. For all we know it was very possible you had gotten to that 70% upper window both times with your sways and the cards didn't fall your way.

Be kind to yourself. Remember your baby boy already loves you so much, you will be the most important person in the world to him. He’s going to be born in to a loving family and he will thrive and you will be so proud of him.

Sending hugs and I hope you find comfort with the therapy.
