Thank you so much @ksmom!! That's so exciting that you're doing HT for #4!! And I agree, I mean I haven't even had this baby yet but I am genuinely so excited now for my son to have a baby brother - I'm thinking long-term, life-long, I imagine they will be close as anything, or I hope so at least. There is such a difference in the experience of boys / men and girls / women growing up and then entering this adult world, I'm so glad he will have a best friend and confidant for life. And that is fantastic to hear that adding #3 wasn't too crazy difficult; as you say it's all a matter of perspective. So wonderful that your elder two help with the youngest. My son turned 2 recently and I am so enjoying this age, he is such an easy child to be around and needs so little from us now compared with the tiny infant stage. You put in the hard yards in those first couple of years and then you have an amazing little person to spend the rest of your life with. Pretty great deal in my opinion
How far are you along the HT journey? I admit it sounds a little bit scary too, but I think I'd be a lot less daunted if it didn't mean having to travel to a foreign country for medical treatment (and potentially back again if it doesn't work first go). But that's the route we'll go down if we go for a third because I don't want to put GD on a third son or go through it again myself, both for my sake and my husband's. Have you told anyone you're going for HT? I'm guessing we;'d have to travel to Thailand or the USA with our two boys if we went through with it, and would probably keep it to ourselves, so that might be challenging! but that's all some years away, I keep reminding myself 'one step at a time'.
I agree, those comments are awful when you have your own feelings about it and especially when you've swayed. I had one girl come right out and say "so will you go again and try for a girl" and I wanted to say to her there's no such thing as 'trying for a girl' - if there was then everyone would have the precise family makeup they planned on! I am so extremely grateful for my second beautiful baby boy and can't wait to see the two of them together, but people's comments do hurt and I'm a sensitive soul to start with

2 weeks before. Keep in mind that many people think they actually sway blue and WANT to be on them for their sway. OPK are fallible. We use them because it's the best technology we have, but...
