Thank you atomic n everyone for all the information shared on this site, it didn't work for me but i wish that everone gets what they want. It does have lot of good information. I am sad n depressed that my sway n prayers did not work, I never planned to have more than 2 kids. My girl is 5 now n i waited this long just bcoz I could never gather the courage to try for the second. Had I known that I am going to have a second girl, I would have tried with just 2 yrs. gap between them. I tried my best ..n rest was in god's hands..Good luck everyone.

Hi,

I know it must have taken a lot for you to write up this sway and how hard it was. Thank you for sharing your sway and sometimes, we sway as hard as we can but god has other plans for us. *hugs* Hang in there.

I went through 3 PGD cycles for the 99.9 % guarantee and I didnt get my BFP with it. Also, I just read a post of a woman who did PGD and transferred a girl but now is pregnant with a boy. My point is that sometimes we want something, but there is a reason for this other baby to come in to our lives.

All the best with your pregnancy.

Thankyou for posting:) she will steal your hearts when she arrives xxx

Congrats on your baby girl!

Looks like you tried very hard. Thanks for posting and congrats on the little princess.

Thanks Sonia, ELP, hobbermittens and cinss. I guess some people never get what they want n i am one of those. I always feared this n it happened again. My first was also sheetle's opposite. For my first DD, I thought i was too late in DTD and went in O+12 phase. So, i did not wait too long this time. My symptomps are all different this time then the last time. I was hopeful as I believed in the HE diet though i also knew in my heart that i am not too lucky:broken:

Congratulations on that sweet baby girl!!
I truly believe God sends us WHO we need in our lives and not WHAT. ;) Good luck!!!

I'm sorry it didn't work out!! Huge (((hugs))) and congrats on your new beauty.

Im sorry it wasn't what you hoped for but still congratulations with your girl.
