Anyone else having a hard time right now?

I am in such a funk right now and having a hard time dealing with my gender desire right now. DH and I are begining cycle 6 of ttc a boy, and I am just getting so frustrated and down on myself. For starters my sister in law is having a boy in July, and they are taking our boy first name. No biggie, except when we were pg with dd2 they asked us not to use a specific name because it sounded "like" their girl name if they ever had kids, and that was the name we liked the best, so we didnt use it out of respect. So now I need to fall in love with a new name if we ever get pg again and ever have a boy. Now, it's like everywhere I go I see pg ladies and they are having boys. This journey is so frustrating, it makes me want to cry. I know that I have only been ttc for going on 6 mon, and I know others have been trying longer, but it's hard month after month, seeing bfns. I just wish it all wasnt so complicated. Ok, rant over..any thoughts girls? Thanks for reading.

hey hun, sorry your feeling rubbish atm. I would be livid about the name thing, that would be a big deal to me. Anyway I feel the same about girls, all over my facebook people are having girls and its what I want so much, I keep thinking the more girls there are, the less chance I have of having a girl (doesn't even make sense). If I looked at it logically there are probably as many boys its just I don't notice them as much iykwim?

I hope this is your month and you get your boy bfp very soon :bighug:

Right there with ya, only my gd baby (ds #3) is due any day and I've contracted Poison Ivy which just adds to the misery-have never felt more disgusting in my life! Topping it off was the random woman at the grocery store today who told me she was so glad she had a third baby...because that's when she finally got her girl. Ugh, seriously???

Swaying is horrid isn't it? Takes up your entire life, you can't eat or socialise normally and everything you do, you worry you are getting wrong.
I managed 8 months and was going slightly mad and by then I was starting to seriously consider if it was really worth it.
But it worked for me in the end and hopefully it will for you. Even if it fails at least you know you did everything possible to get your dream gender.
Good luck

Ahh I know how you feel about the name takers :( It burns when you want to scream out no mine and your not pregnant yet, let alone know the gender :( I had my girl name taken the other day......I have had this picked out for over 12 years :( It isn't fair!

Count me in. I am so frustrated at times I could cry too.

I am in the 2ww and thought I was doing pretty good but today I am nuts. I can't shake this panic that if I ever get prego i'll have another girl...this paranoia that I just won't have a boy. I even started thinking in my mind how we could go HT. It would never work for a list of reasons but I feel so desperate inside and I can't seem to figure out why. Probably like RKT says, swaying takes over EVERYTHING!

Sorry about the name thing. That is one sucky part of having a big family DH and I both have 6 siblings so we have to work hard to get unique names that someone else hasn't already taken.
