It really is reddevil. I’m not sure what I feel right now. Relief that the baby is healthy but heartache that our dynamic is different to what I dreamed, confused by feeling “girl” this whole time so it feels like the rug has been pulled from under me, upset because I know we were content with 3 and now I’m putting strain on our whole family by having another baby. I don’t know.. I wish I felt joyous :( just right now I’m a bit lost and sad.

I can totally sympathise with you and think the only thing you can do is to allow yourself to feel whatever you are feeling, and not feel guilty and gradually you'll start to work through the pain and confusion and come out the other side. Keep talking about it here too as I think it will really help.

I was obsessing over ways to find out gender to past the time too reddevil. Frustratingly they all came back girl and now my NIPT says boy so I’m completely lost after having false hope x

This is exactly why I had so much despair with my 3rd son. When I got pregnant I didn't even have any gender desire really - I LOVED having 2 boys, was thrilled when my second was a boy, and had been happy with that for 15 years, just the faintest hint of "wouldn't it be nice if"... But all those darn old wives tales messed with my head till I made up my mind that I just had to be having a girl. Then I felt very much like someone had "stolen" her. It took a long time to work those feelings out.

Hi ladies part of me wishes I didn't obsess over trying to find out the gender because I feel that deep down im happy either way.

I did try sway blue and my nub theory saying pink.. who knows.
And because I thought blue all along I've now got it set in my head that its pink just because of how many seem to get the nubs right.

I won't find out until January and to be honest I can't wait as i just want to know so I can set my mind completely on preparing and get excited.

Hope your all doing well x

I think the issue when pregnant is that you really have nothing else you know about the baby so finding out the sex is the only thing you can really know beforehand. You don't know if they'll be bubbly, shy, confident, thoughtful, daring etc (and probably won't know that for some time!) so the only piece of information you have to imagine anything about them in the future is the gender. Hence why when they're born many people often are able to get over the gender disappointment as they realise how much more there is to their baby in that second. But right now it's literally the only thing we have to obsess over....and so obsess we do.
I've just done a sneak peak - hate myself for doing it, as I know I won't believe it whatever the answer. I got Boy ramzi guess and that really punched me in the gut as I"ve read about the huge success rates on that.

Hi ladies! [emoji3531] I’m looking to chat with Atomic. I cannot login into my account on here. I’ve been booted off it before about a month ago. The only place I can write anything is in someone else’s thread. I’m sorry to intrude!

I totally agree. I think it’s heightened too if you’ve swayed and prayed for a particular gender. I just want to hopefully ease your mind a bit re: ramzi. I had all girl guesses and even send my scan to a place that are “professionals” and it was still wrong :( I think this is what’s messed with my head the most. Baby’s heartbeat was also 170 bpm. All the things you look for pointed to girl and they were all wrong. :broken:

I do feel like I’m grieving the daughter I thought I was having more than GD I think. I’m also mourning for my daughter missing out on her sister she prayed for everyday.. I still can’t tell her :(

I had my 12 week scan today and was hanging on to the hope the nub would be girly and my NIPT was wrong but it definitely looks like a boy. I wish I could feel better about it but I’m just so sad. It might just take time.. if only we could of swapped our blue/pink dust hey.

I think because of trying to sway perhaps it becomes as more of a surprise that its not the gender you were expecting..
I'm sure when your special little boy comes along he will take away those feelings..
Sending you (((hugs))) x

So sorry to hear about more opposites :(. Hubby and I decided to wait until birth now! Yes we did sneak peek but are basically going to pretend it didn't exist. I can't handle the back and forth and for me at least waiting will be best. Plus if this really is a boy then next time we will be doing IVF and so this will be our last chance to hold out and not find out any "traditional" way. I'm still def going to be sad if this is a boy. But I'm content knowing no matter what we will get our daughter through IVF if we have to. Just playing the waiting game at this point. Which I agree with the rest of you...is the WORST.

So sorry to hear more opposites... wishing you all strenght and love!
I am still very nauseous and vomiting so still on meds for it.
We are having our third ultrasound next week thursday, where we will find out the gender. To be honest, Im so so nervous and feeling so guilty... I want this DD so so badly and pray every night to hear girl next week. I get so excited thinking about her name and her room and the clothes I will buy her. The joy in my parents eyes when they finally hear that after 6 grandsons they get their dream granddaughter. My mother really really wants a granddaughter...
And then when I think of it turning out differently I just, well I shut it out. I know that’s bad and probably going to contribute to even worse GD if it turns out te way I fear, but im so scared to think about it. Scared for the law of attraction (I don’t know where I am getting this from all of a sudden) and I feel so lonely struggling with these feelings. Not able to tell anyone. Scared as this is our second and final child. DH definately doesn’t want any more babies after this...
Three of my friends have heard girl the last three weeks and even though Im happy for them, at the same time it makes me nervous.
So I try to focus on the good and visualise what I wish for.
I just hope and pray that next week the room will light up pink!

Good luck for next week ProudMom90. I cross all my fingers you hear / see pink! I just had my NIPT today so will get the results back some time next week. I am half desperate to know but also definitely half terrified for the hope I"m clinging onto to end. She said that they will call and confirm that all is fine with your results, but that the gender will be on the report in the email. So assuming all is fine on the phone, then I can choose when to open the email. Although it's not really fair on my husband I really want to go on a walk to the middle of a field and open it alone, so I can react however I want to react. He wants a girl too for sure, but I genuinely don't know how I'll react and I don't want to make it harder for him.
I did do sneakpeak last week but as though to punish me for wasting my money on it, I forgot to activate it by entering the bar code. I took it to the post office then came back to activate it and saw that the barcode was on the box which was already with the postman!! They will email eventually when it gets to their lab and I'll find out - but by the time they get to that I think my NIPT will be back anyway! In any case it will be interesting to see if they match up.
I am dreaming every night about finding out gender - the more time goes on the more I"m sure it's a boy and the more down I become. I am hoping it's just my mind trying to protect myself.

All my fingers and toes crosser for you too reddevil!!
I know exactly how you feel! I wish I found out the gender on my own too so I can react the way I really feel. Im so scared to see blue and having to swallow all my tears and pretend to be happy. I know I will be eventually, but just like everyone here, it will take time. On the other hand if we do see pink (the lady who does the ultrasounds makes the room light up pink or blue when she sees what the gender is) will be an overjoyous moment for us both! I just get such happy butterflies thinking about that! I dreamt she said blue and then said, hold on... its a little finger I recognised for a little p... you ARE having pink haha. I woke up soooo happy!!

Yesss the feeling if it's pink will be amazing! I quite like the idea of the whole room changing colour! If it is pink it will be a moment you remember forever! EEK all fingers crossed.

I am imagining the room being pink for you (because that's really cool she does that [emoji3059]) and I will send you and reddevil ALL my pink dust because I have plenty [emoji175] [emoji176] [emoji177] [emoji178] you are totally allowed to feel whatever it is you want to feel. I don't think it is bad to imagine getting your pink. I've been trying to wall off getting my hopes up and the other day it just got to be too much and I cried so much because I want to hear blue so bad. So let yourself feel it so it doesn't spill over like me [emoji1787] it may make it a little worse but you already know you'll be disappointed so at least you know that you'll face it instead of hiding it or trying to act excited [emoji3059] I know you will love any little baby but I know how hard it is to want our dream gender

NIPT appointment today. Measuring 12 wks which is a little ahead of my due date. Tech said nub looks girly [emoji24] I know nubs at 12 weeks are not accurate as babies look the same but it still broke my heart a little. Blood has been sent off so hopefully we aren't waiting forever on those. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201130/dcef0077a21b52e3b63237320031dea9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201130/d4fd934f6484b95ed3c28d5110e1e979.jpg

How do you get your results? Is it on a portal? I am making myself not thjnk about it at all as I’m so scared about jinxing it by letting myself imagine I hear pink, but also then I don’t want to be realistic and think it could be blue because I feel like I’m jinxing it with negative thoughts then - ARGH! I was told 5-7 working days so not expecting it until next week. It’s been a week since I sent sneak peek back now and not heard anything :(

I was told 5-7 working days so not expecting it until next week. It’s been a week since I sent sneak peek back now and not heard anything :(I have a mychart account with my hospital so as soon as they update the notes in my test results I will be able to see it. I have no idea if they will update their notes or call me first so I've been checking anyway [emoji28] they used Harmony so there's no portal or anything just what they write in my chart.

Im in the exact same as you. All I can imagine is hearing blue but then I know it might be pink and I tear up [emoji24] im so torn between we did really well and we didn't do enough. Guess we will know soon enough! I hope one of your test results comes in soon and it is what you want to hear. And I hope your results match so you don't have to worry about which is correct [emoji175]

Hello ladies,

Hope you all are doing good. I was away for long time from the forum as was not feeling too well due to nausea and weakness then sone family emergency came. I had a scan last week at 11 weeks 5 days and they said everything looks normal . I did my NIPT too on 25th Nov and still waiting for the results. Suddenly radiologist updated my last week ultrasound report stating that baby could have neural tube defects and need to recheck . I had a bad panic attack as due to the previous losses I am already very nervous and not able to enjoy this pregnancy. I was sent to the hospital to repeat the ultrasound with a high risk doc to check the measurements again , and need to do some more genetic counseling. Baby was measured ahead as 12 weeks 7 days , as per my LMP I am 12 weeks 2 days. As per high risk doc she didn’t see any neural tube defects and want to repeat the ultrasound at 16 weeks, I am really confused and depressed at the moment and hoping for the best results.I feel like I am sitting in the middle of nowhere. Please keep me in your prayers! Though after looking at jumping baby my heart believes that baby is perfectly fine and doc had some confusion. I truly believe that I will bring this baby home , sorry for the long post. I am attaching my lil bean pic here! I am leaning towards a girl as I have feeling it’s a girl, however I am praying for a healthy baby. My elder daughter is almost 8 as desperately needs a sibling https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201203/46d276eaf56fd979debb98ba8c8cbc4c.jpg

I should add someone from the clinic called me to say results are all clear - but the gender will be on the report in email. I would obviously open it straight away if I was concerned about the results!
I feel so physically sick knowing the answer is there.

Thank you!! I am hoping and praying - still shaking!!!! Decided not to tell anyone else though until 20 week scan to have it 100% reconfirmed and also to enjoy the little secret just the two of us knowing. So unbelievably happy!!

Oh my god it says girl. I’m shaking so much I can hardly type.

Atomic is this really reliable? In order to give myself false hope incase it was a boy result I’ve read loads of false nipt results but obv the stories are of dramatic ones. Can I really dare to believe this is true???

Yes it is as reliable as it gets RD!! Huge congrats!

the majority of the false NIPT results (at least the ones I've seen) involve a person who has an ultrasound, often done too early or done on themselves, or by their mom who retired 20 years ago, or by the receptionist at the doc's office after hours, or in one case by a veterinarian) and then they choose to believe the ultrasound and not the NIPT. So you have a sketchy ultrasound and a probably-correct NIPT (and in most cases the person will never come back to update) In a couple cases there was something genetically wrong with the baby like it had XXY chromosomes. But the vast, vast majority of the time the NIPT has been spot on. You're having a girl!

Hey Atomic,
Thanks for checking back on me. I had a scan last week at 11 weeks 5 days and they said everything looks normal . I did my NIPT too on 25th Nov and still waiting for the results. Suddenly radiologist updated my last week ultrasound report stating that baby could have neural tube defects and need to recheck . I had a bad panic attack as due to the previous losses I am already very nervous and not able to enjoy this pregnancy. I was sent to the hospital to repeat the ultrasound with a high risk doc to check the measurements again , and need to do some more genetic counseling. Baby was measured ahead as 12 weeks 7 days , as per my LMP I am 12 weeks 2 days. As per high risk doc she didn’t see any neural tube defects and want to repeat the ultrasound at 16 weeks, I am really confused and depressed at the moment and hoping for the best results.I feel like I am sitting in the middle of nowhere.

But now feel lil relaxed now knowing that my MFM doesn’t think that there is any defect. Still lil anxious . Praying hard for my sticky bean

Radiologist updated my ultrasound report after one week saying that possible abnormality of distal spine however when I met the doc after the ultrasound they didn’t show any concern. I really don’t know how come after a week they gave me this kind of study. I had a panic attack after hearing this so was rushed to the hospital. There I met the high risk doctor who did my ultrasound again . She almost spent an hour to check everything to make sure that they are not missing anything. After her thorough study she assured me that she doesn’t she any neural tubal defect or anything and baby is doing absolutely fine . Baby was measuring ahead and was fully active. I got a call from the my doctor later on and she said that I would trust high risk doctor , so if she said everything is fine then everything should be ok. I am really confused with these statements. Going for an ultrasound again next week with the high risk doctor as already had a scheduled appointment for consultation. I hope I would get my NIPT results by then. Praying for the best. Please keep me in your prayers.
Thank you so much once again for always being so kind and supportive.

Low risk and it's another girl

As a lot of people have said, I'm happy to have another girl but the fact thats its not a boy and I may never have a son is heart breaking. I feel like I have failed. We changed so much and it still wasn't enough. We weren't really trying but we still changed our lifestyle. We want 4 but I feel it in my heart thats its most likely going to be 4 girls at this point since nothing we have done has helped.

Oh how nervewracking. I agree that if the high risk doc doesn't see anything to be concerned over I would not worry. I do want you to know that the NIPT ~probably~ would not reveal a neural tube defect as those are not genetic in most cases but they will be able to see on the ultrasound if anything was wrong. :pray: for healthy baby!

Had our ultrasound and saw a very cute, little bouncing baby BOY! :DS:
Failed girl sway, but im feeling ok!
Thinking of all the good sides of having two boys :HH:

...Since a couple of hours has past and I decided to look up clothes for him online, it is starting to settle in. Seeing the hairbands, the dresses... the first outfit we wanted if he was going to be a she...and I feel the sadness rising... I will never have a daughter. All my friends have a girl and a biy, my sister has 4 girls and a boy, my mother has 9 girls and two boys... and I won’t ever have one.
I love this little one already but Im sad I will never have a daughter we would have named Evy Liz...
My foster parents are 74 and 70 and have 7 grandsons now... not looking forward to our gendereeveal knowing my (foster) mum is really hoping for her first granddaughter...
I hope I will wake up tomorrow and feel the joy again I had right after the ultrasound.

Just needed to vent for a bit and I know you guys are always are. I've totally been on team screw sneak peek I'm going to wait until birth and then prove them wrong! Because it said boy and I really want a girl. But today the reality is just hitting hard that it probably wasn't wrong. I just wish I never even took the test.I'm just so mad today. I know I'll love this baby when it comes out but I hate being pregnant as it is, so I'm just really struggling right now. Like if I could fast forward to delivery I'd be much better. Plus I've been reading a lot of people hating on CNY today. Which is who I plan to use for ivf if this truly is a failed sway. Idk I want my girl. I'll stop at nothing but I'm really feeling the uphill climb today.

Hope you ladies are doing well and everyone is having a healthy pregnancy! Anatomy scan today confirmed girl and even though we knew off the blood test I still felt let down. The tech totally ruined the mood of the scan when she asked if I already had girls and she said "glad she didn't have to deal with that she only had boys" :( so yeah screw her

Hopefully now I can fully lean into being a mom of three girls and accept it. I love watching my two be sisters so hopefully a third fills me with more love than before.. Not that I won't love being a girl mom I just yearn for a boy so badly especially seeing all the "boy mom" "mommas boy" stuff with my friends and family that are having boys all around me. We do want 4 so I have one more "chance" but I'm not going to even get my hopes up after being 3/3 pink with two failed sways.

Wish me luck as we finally announce to family [emoji28] I can't wait for all the inappropriate comments

It’s really hard when people say comments like that- but I expect your sonographer probably wanted a daughter and was saying that to try to make herself feel better. Most people do want a mixture of both boys and girls and I find it hard to believe she would pass comment if she really felt that way.

Your little girl will fit in with your family and once she is here you will adore her I’m sure as her sisters will.

I agree with Ami - I guarantee the only reason the sonographer will have said that was as a defense to her own jealous feeling of the girls that you have and that she doesn't. It's a terrible thing to say to you and had someone said that to me the flip way round about having another boy I would've lost my sh1t very quickly! Completely insensitive and unprofessional.

My pregnancy is going very boring-ly at the moment! 17 weeks and just starting to show but otherwise, I'm not sure I"d know I was pregnant! 3 weeks until anatomy scan where I want final confirmation this baby is infact a girl before i tell anyone else...at the moment I'm enjoying it being my secret. Had a big falling out with mother in law when I heard my husband telling her and she repeatedly went on and on about how it would almost definitely be a 3rd boy (in a way that clearly meant - and that would be absolutely terrible). Now I know it's a girl, I don't know what to say when we announce it's a girl, as I feel suddenly weirdly so protective over what could easily have been a little boy and how rude she would've been about him. Got a few weeks to plan it, but we had a falling out about her inappropriate and quite frankly mean reaction to the news.

I know this forum isn't really active anymore but I just have to type this out somewhere. I know it's mostly hormones and that I shouldn't let it affect me but damn do people really get to me.

We haven't told anyone the gender even though we know and wow do people suck. I hate having to defend that if baby # 3 is a girl (which it is) that there is nothing wrong with all girls, that our family isn't missing something or that I am not a failure for not giving my husband a son. I feel like I get to the point of accepting it and ready to meet her as I am excited for my two girls to have another sister and be apart of that bond (not that a boy wouldn't have just as strong as a bond with them). And then someone has to make a comment and bring our family down.

I know people do it about everything because for some reason pregnancy and kids is open season for inappropriate comments but I really need it to stop. I've distanced myself from so many people because it's really hurtful hearing about how we need a boy like our girls aren't enough or how I'm a failure because my poor husband might not ever get his son. Trust me, I'm aware but it's not something we can control so I don't understand this mentality. Don't even get me started on the "boy mom" trend. I've heard from so many so called boy moms that I'll never know love unless I have a son and it's awful. Another woman told me yesterday she prays to God that her second doesn't end up being anothrr girl but it would be funny if we had another girl. I don't understand and it really cuts deep because even though I would love to have a boy, I love my girls fiercely and it sets me off hearing people imply they aren't enough.

Thanks for letting me rant [emoji177]

I'm so sorry you have to go through this. I don't know what "boy moms" you're talking to because we all hear the same thing - we'll never know love till we have a girl, yadda yadda. I often wonder if people even MEAN any of this stuff - it is more that they just look around, trying to come up with something to use against you, and settle on that just because it's there.

People need to stop with the comments. Sometimes I feel like women who are married with children are basically considered the lowest of the low, the last group of people it's "ok" to put down, criticize, mock, belittle, etc. Everyone else has some sort of organized movement behind them, but not us, because we're too busy trying to run our families to have time to stand up for ourselves.

These people are not worth your time. They're really, truly beneath you. (I mean, I can't even IMAGINE being the type of person who prays for a good outcome for themselves and yet takes pleasure in another person not having a good outcome?? That is a pretty sick mentality!

There are SO many people on this site who would love to have the exact family makeup you do. So many people are looking at you with jealously and wanting what you have, so many people think you have the perfect family. Even though right now you aren't hearing those people, I promise they do exist in droves.

People like that are obnoxious and I just don’t understand why they do that. When my third child was finally a girl I got people telling me they were probably wrong. Now I just get comments telling me I have too many kids. People are going to say rude things no matter what the circumstance is.

Just a quick note to say our beautiful baby girl arrived a week or so ago. Despite having NIPT, and 3 scans all show a girl I still had to keep checking as I couldn’t believe it. Totally in love and thank yoj so much Atomic for your help and advice.
Definitely no more babies here so am enjoying every minute of her!

I honestly think this is the hardest yet most important lesson for women to learn.

A whole lot of people say mean things for NO REASON other than to keep you in your place. That's all it is. If you like tacos, they'll say tacos make you fat. If you like marching bands, they'll say something about how only nerds like marching bands. If you like red lipstick they'll tell you it makes you look sallow. If you have all girls they'll say you're missing out, if you have all boys they'll say you're missing out, and if you have a boy and a girl they'll say your family is boring or that it's so sad your daughter doesn't have a sister and your son a brother. It is meaningless, all a ploy by a bully to put themselves in a position of power and you in a position of weakness. Once you realize it, it is blissfully easy to ignore them most of the time. :heart:
