Congrats mommylife! I believe thirdtimelucky also had a successful (pink) sway.
Bunnygirl - I’m so, so sorry. I wish there was something I could do or say to help. I’m thinking of you and your family.
Also, I’m sorry for disappearing on you all! Thank you to everyone for all your comments and support, and those who private messaged me too, thank you so much! I’m so sorry I haven’t gotten back to anyone yet (I will, I promise!). I’ve been keeping up with the posts in this thread, I just had to step back from the site for a bit. It’s still hard for me to come here.
It’s like abifasc and I had both mentioned a while back. I love having boys and being a boy mom! At this point I’m actually excited for a boy! We’re about 97% sure Miles will be his name and we’ve been calling him that already. It’s just that this is almost definitely our last baby, and the thought of never having a daughter still makes me SO sad.
I had my NT scan three days after we got the NIPT back and it was great! Normal NT measurement, and it was SO cool to see him looking like an actual baby already. He was moving all around! I actually had tears seeing him. That helped me SO much. I’m 15+4 today and have been feeling tiny flutters for a few weeks now, and I love it. I have my next appt on Tuesday at 16w and I’m excited to finally be able to hear the heartbeat on the Doppler in the office!
I’m not sure why it’s so hard for me to come here still. At this point I almost feel like I’m dealing with this awful sense of “I failed” rather than gender disappointment, if that makes sense. There’s still a huge part of me that is sad at the thought of never having a daughter... but almost more than that, I almost feel like, what was the point? What did I do wrong? Looking at even just the 2020 stats alone, there are SO many pink sway successes. I did only the things that work for most people, most of the time. LE diet, exercise, one attempt, and alcohol, coffee, and fiber. I don’t know what I could have done differently. Maybe the PCOS diet? However, I’m not even sure I COULD do that — I actually lost TOO MUCH weight, I was underweight when I got my bfp. I struggled at the end with trying to keep on weight and had just started to increase my calories and fat when I got my bfp. I almost feel like cutting out sugar on the PCOS diet would make me lose TOO much weight, I’m not sure I could do it. So what else even is there? Nothing!
I still feel like we might just be “too fertile” of a couple to have a girl. Despite all the weight I lost, and being underweight, my body kept right on ovulating on CD13, as it’s done basically for the last 9 years (I’ve charted on and off since 2011). We had only ONE attempt (perfectly timed, of course, but still) and I STILL got pregnant on the first try. I’ve actively never experienced a negative pregnancy test (and I’m SO thankful for that!). I’ve been pregnant three times — three times TTC, three times pregnant on the first try, including the this time with just one attempt. And three boys. I know the average couple has something like a 30% chance of getting pregnant each month, even with perfect timing, yet it’s happened for us every single time we’ve ever tried. I just think that together, as a couple, there must be something that increases our chances to more than the average couple? And the entire point of swaying pink is to lower fertility enough to still get pregnant but up the chances of a girl. Maybe we are just TOO fertile together, that no matter what we do, it’s just not enough to lower us into the pink territory?
I just don’t know. I was destined to be a boy mom, I suppose! And clearly this little boy was meant to be ours. In the end, we just wanted another BABY. The day after I got my NIPT results, someone in my May due date group on Reddit got her results and they could only find one X chromosome. They told her there was a number of things it could be (including lab error) but it was a super stressful experience for her, and that kind of put things into perspective for me. My NIPT results were all low risk, and I had a great NT scan, and everything is going perfect so far. We could be in a completely different situation right now, and I’m so grateful that we are not. Plus, my due date is in exactly the time frame we were hoping for, so the timing is absolutely perfect! We have absolutely nothing to be upset about, other than the fact that we didn’t get the girl we hoped for.
I hope it will get easier for me to post here, because I miss it! I think I just need to shake the feeling of failure. Every time I come on here I’m instantly reminded of all that I did and it just brings back the overwhelming feeling of failure and sadness. I know it’s silly, I didn’t fail - I’m making a baby! It’s still so crazy to think, sometimes I still can’t believe I’m actually pregnant again! I’m going to try my hardest to keep up here because I miss posting and talking with you all!
Thanks for reading my ramblings if you made it this far.

I’m so glad you posted again HLM, I was wondering how you were! I feel your pain about wanting a girl so bad, I had it when I found out my DS2 was a boy (He is the most amazing human being though and I would not swap him for a million girls right now). I know having a healthy baby is what matters most but the desire for a daughter was there nevertheless! You are also lucky to not have miscarriages (I have had 3, so my success rate is only 50%). Plus also you and your DH are still young, maybe a few years down the track you decide to have another bub? I know a woman who had two boys and was desperate for a daughter, got pregnant after years of trying at 37 with a girl and lost her at 27 weeks! Then had two girls at 39 and (a surprise) 41! Wishing you all the very best with this pregnancy! love the name!!!! P.S. and you definitely didn’t fail! No one really knows what works/decides the gender from all those things that we tweak. I thought you had a perfect sway!

So good to hear from you HLM, I’ve been thinking of you and hoping you’re going okay! I’m so glad you saw your sweet boy and was able to bond with him. Love the name Miles! I hope you feel like you can come on here more if you enjoy chatting to us! I don’t ever think of opposites as a ‘failed sway’ but that God had plans for us that will make sense one day and they are always better than what we could ever plan for ourselves. I know it probably doesn’t lessen the longing you have in your heart for a DD but hopefully you can feel like it’s not ever something you did or didn’t do. Oh and I was SURE we had shut up shop with our 3 but here I am 5 years later with #4 on the way!!
