Wow! Twins coliny?! That's awesome. Did you put back one or both embryos?
I am on the verge of breaking out the first of my maternity clothes. Ugh, eating is the only thing that makes me feel a bit less yucky, and it's showing!
I'm still waiting to buy any baby clothes, but I think that'll be a fun 2nd trimester activity. I just realized that our trip to see my in-laws is when I'll be almost 15 weeks! I'm wondering if that's too long to wait to tell them? I wanted to tell them in person.
You know what I have been ok up until now. I have been very calm and quite accepting at what gender I am carrying. Today it seems to have hit me that I just so desperately want a girl. I even hate myself for typing it.
With so many ladies on there getting their girls it makes me feel like I am obviously going to be the one with an opposite. I must be. I should have tried harder to sway. I shouldn't have pigged out when I thought I had o'd but I didnt until the day later. I should have exercised. I am scared.
I know I will adore another boy as I do my son but I so don't want to feel the drop in my tummy again at the birth. But still all this being said I still don't want to find out the gender before the birth.
I thought long and hard about the reason why today. Party cause I have this image in my head of going through labour (I didnt last time) and not knowing the sex, the overwhelming feeling I will get get if they tell me girl will be priceless and I cry when I imagine that moment. The other reason is I am scared. Really scared. I feel if at my 20 week scan I get told boy. That is it. My girl dream is over. I can't continue for another 20 weeks with my day dream of being passed my girl. I am hoping if we find out gender at the birth I fall in love with this baby boy either way and it wont matter. It worked with my son.
It makes it harder my sister in law wanted a girl, never hid it. Its her first and she is having her girl next week. It made me feel so protective over my son as she was saying how much she didnt want one. I felt like screaming at her 'What is wrong with boys!' all while I was there swaying for the exact thing she wanted. She got hers though and I am jealous. My other sister in law is pregnant too. She is due in Aug. They have not found out the sex. I am terrified it will be a girl. I feel if it is that mine will 100% be a boy.
Sorry to have rambled, I just feel its all hit me today x
Dreamingofwin .... I know exactly how you feel and why you feel it. I could have written your post. When I had ds2 both my sil's had girls just after. I was in due date boards with ds2 and ds3 - I always got a boy while others got girls so easily. I'm due November and seeing the harmony report saying girl was overwhelming, however now I am gearing up for gender scan on Friday and I am terrified of being told boy (before the harmony result I was prepared to hear boy for our last baby, now it will destroy me, initially anyway). Only you can decide when it's best for you with both outcomes in mind. For me it was early because I wanted to check health of baby. I believe that part of the harmony test, but still can't believe it's right for gender, not after 3 boys. As long as you are happy with the choice to find out at birth that is the main thing. I'm way too impatient to wait that long and would have had a gender scan even if we hadn't done the harmony xx

Sorry to hear of your worries Dreamingoftwin, but I do understand your feelings of being scared. Even though I've made peace with myself about having a third boy as our final child before trying, I'm still anxious about the baby I'm carrying now and want to find out asap so that if I do feel any GD, like I did with DS2, I could prepare myself for a happier and welcoming birth. I agree with Mrs_Incredible that it's all up to you about when is the best time to find out the gender and what works best for you. We each have our own way of coping with GD and that's why we're all here on this board, to support each other when needed. Hopefully you (and I) will be part of the string of girlie beans that have been announced recently! *hugs*
p.s. I also have a wee bit of regret about having pigged out on either O day or day after..and not losing enough weight etc.
Sorry you're feeling down dreamingofwin. I have three boys and they are amazing! If you do have another boy it will be awesome for your other son. My boys have the best fun together and when I asked them if they want another brother or a sister they all shout 'brother'!! I was convinced that my ds3 was a girl but was glad I found out at 19 week scan as I found it a lot easier to prepare for his arrival once I knew he was a boy. And I'm so glad he was a boy as I adore him more than life. He is the funniest in the house and everyone loves him! But hey you have as good a chance as anyone at having a girl anyway. Millions if women around the world have girls every day without swaying! Don't lose hope yet You could still have a pink bundle in there!! Fingers crossed we all have pink this time I think it's our time now girls!!! :)

Thanks ladies.
I know id love him to the moon and back. I feel terrible as I have 2 close friends who both had to have icsi which luckily worked for them both and they have a son each. They're blessed and thankful they have one child. I feel so selfish when I have the opportunity for a second child and they don't.
Its just 2 children for us. That's it. Period. There will be no possible 3rd child or 4th this is it for us. This pregnancy feels so final. My chance of a girl feels so final.
Thanks for understanding and listening to me offload x
Dreamingofwin I know how you feel too! With all these girls someone has to get a boy and im sure that will be me. 😞
Aww mumofsix, if anyone deserves a girl it should be you!
You have worked so hard for it even after your loss you are still keeping up the hard work and still determined to getting her (despite everything that has happened in between!) in my eyes you are a hero!
I don't know how I'd have picked myself up!
I really hope to see you back on the due date board with a BFP soon!
I feel so selfish for having 2 more chances plus the one I'm carrying now, so please let me have that boy for you (just only this once though, lol) this time round you go have your sooo well deserved girl! ;)

Mumofsix you're definitely getting a girl next Guaranteed!!
Flowerlily are you planning a big family?
Yahmama here's all my blue dust A big bucket of it!!! :)

Yes daisymoo, 5 is what we planned on having with age gap of 2 and 2.5, and I want to be finished by the time I'm 30 so I can focus on the other part of my life, that is job wise (interior designer) without having to worry about when to have kids, how many, etc, etc.
But lately DH is saying only ONE more time, seeing me being so sick is what puts him off of that idea. We both come from large families.
Well, I never ever thought I'd be this sick myself besides its only temporary, it doesn't last the whole pregnancy and the end result is so so worth it.
Yahmama, you are so welcome to my blue dust too and I'll gladly take your pink dust. ;)

Hello everyone
Nice to read that there are moms with the same feelings out there. May I join you?
I am BFP and edd January 25...
I have two lovely boys but desperately hoping for a girl...
I have all that thoughts in my head; what I was eating, when it happend, if PH was too low/too high, sperm count, testosteron Level, too close to O, our ages (DH 43, me 39) and about all the Symptoms now (breasts hurting and growing a lot but not too sick) ....
Next Monday I will have my First scan and surely I am just hoping that everything will be ok. I know for sure that I would love my third son but the whole family is hoping for a girl (and I was too lazy for the diet- because I am already quite skinny and not eating a lot).
The ones of you having a girl now, is the pregnancy so different now? Did you do a perfect pink sway?
Attempt done! 😉 Now officially in the 2ww and hopefully back on those due date boards. 😊😊
Welcome and congrats on the BFP castch! I'll add you to the list too. :)

Congratulations abifasc & castch! Welcome!
Catstch, totally understand your feelings about your sway. I think my sway wasn't the strongest pink sway but definitely one of my better sways in span of a year. I was on and off of it b/c the diet part was just too hard for me. I also have two boys and this last baby is our last for sure, and I'm not having much sickness (maybe from extra B6?). Good luck to you on your pink bean too!
Yahmama, I'll unload my bluest dust on you too, lol. (My fave color by the way!)
Good luck on getting a bfp Mumofsix!
Huge contrast abfisac!! X
Welcome castch and congrats on your BFP! Hope it's you little pink bean.
Congrats castch and abifisac!
We put back 2 embryos. This was our 3rd ivf cycle. I still worry a lot. When does the worrying ends?
I'll be due 1/29/15. Super surprised BFP. Can't stop worrying what if this is my 5th girl because did not dtd round O (dtd -5).
Congratulations to all mommies to be.
I would also like to join if that's ok. Got my BFP today at 11dpo - estimated due date would be feb 5th, 2015. Sooo excited. I hope there's a healthy bean in there (a girl one to be specific lol)

Hi girls. I haven't posted in quite some time. I was having awful morning sickness for several weeks and am just now getting over that hump. I hope you don't mind my asking anyone that has time to look at my 12 week nub shot. Some of you may have already guessed and I thank you for that. The reason I ask though is because everyone who has guessed here has said girl but on another sight it have all boy guesses so I'm just curious if anyone here thinks it's a boy. I pray it's a girl but I am sooooo sceptical. Any way if you find the time to have a look and guess I'd very much appreciate it :). http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ultr...nub-skull.html
prayingpink, I haven't posted in a while either, I have been trying not to obsess. I can't tell from the pics (I am not good with the nub shots). Crossing my fingers it is a pink bundle for you! :)
I did have my 12 wk ultrasound today and the baby was measuring at 13 wks exactly, according to due date it would have been 12w4d. I asked the tech what she thought for gender and she said she didn't know, then looked around a bit and said there could be a little something, something down there or it could be the cord, too early to tell. I have been trying my best to be happy either way and couldn't help that I cried the entire way home. I just can't shake it. I wish I had a good picture to post on here, but I can't see anything in mine and I have 3 shots.
B'smommy you should post your pics anyway. You did say you arent the greatest at finding the nub so maybe the nub is captured :) it's worth a shot. I wouldn't let what the tech said bother you. If she was looking at a potty shot then it might have appeared to be boy parts simply because it's so early. The only good way to tell so early on is a nub shot and many techs haven't even hear of it so try to keep your spirits high.
Thanks Prayingpink, I just posted the 3 shots, hopefully I'll hear some guesses :). I think at the time she was looking at a potty shot b/c all I could see were the legs, it is confusing to me. :)
I was telling my husband over the weekend after seeing so many adorable baby boys how I was happy either way and the gender did not bother me anymore. Then today it hit me like a ton of bricks, I'm feel like my emotions are going crazy right now and wish I could calm myself down a bit, lol.
Congrats babyb5 and odd! Wow, lots of BFPs ending the month of May. :)
Thank you everyone. Pfp and b'smommy, I have no knowledge of us but hope u both hear pink. I'm already nervous about finding out - its like one thing after the other. Fiest you worry abt diet then attempt then hoping for bfp and once that's done, its the ultimate waiting game..lol

Btw, I am finding it rsther difficult slipping back into the regular eating routine. I still catch myself counting calories and letting myself starve..lol..guess it will take a while

Congrats odd! You are so right. I find it funny that since starting this whole process I've done nothing but sit on the edge of my seat lol.
B's mommy I looked at your pics and I personally can't tell but there are some awesome girls on here that might see something I don't. And as far as how you are feeling, I know just what you mean. I go back and forth on feelin ok with another boys and despirately hoping for a girl. I will say I definately feel more at peace with hearing boy than I did with my second son. I felt so guilty after he was born for having such bad gender disappointment. When the places him in my arms I started crying and just appoligized (in my head lol) for hoping the tech was wrong and he'd come out a girl. He's such a blessing
Hey lovelies !! It really is a rollar coaster ride, I know I will be the same when and if I ever get my BFP!! Obsessing over gender is totally normal and I think acknowledging why you want one gender is a great thing to do. I feel I have come so far as like many of you my DS 2 is such a gem but then I see all the little pink clothes and girly things and think this will never happen to me!
I really hope everyone gets their gender!!!!
Coliny congrats on twins and congrats abisfac, odd, baby 5, castch hope I get to join you guys soon xx

@ prayingpink, thanks for sharing. I already feel tremendous gender disappointment and I wish I could turn it off and just be happy. I feel my son would be so excited to have a little brother, that should make it all better, right? It doesn't help that I have seen so many friends post on FB recently they are having a baby girl. The people I have told I am pregnant have been saying, I hope you get your baby girl (without even knowing I swayed). I feel they will not be as excited for me to learn it is a boy. I know it is still early, but in my heart I just feel this is another boy.
kitkat - you are right about the roller coaster ride!!! :)
