Ksmom, some weird rule where I am living now. I can't even talk to the tech, my midwife had to write on the ultrasound requisition to find out gender. So no matter what I decide, she will know.

You can't even talk to the tech?! That is strange. I think I'd go a bit crazy just sitting there in silence the whole time.
My oh was like this after our 3rd boy but just over a year ago he changed his mind so you never know.xQuote:

Pink lady, honestly I think you should atleast try again and get the best sway you can do! I did it anyone can do it lol. I honestly I'm still addicted to the le diet but now I make myself eat breakfast.
Check out my sway and I have two blogs. Honestly I am Catholic and I did pray a lot and believe everything is meant to be.
But when I seen the pink balloon I was like yes! My sway worked! I went vegetarian and also my husband changed his diet but only the last month because doc orders and he is on cholesterol meds but he also takes multi vitamin and fish oil. So not sure if that matters. I believe the woman's environment plays a huge role on what happens to the sperm.
Try talking to your husband, and explain how you feel, atleast then you can try for a daughter. I wouldn't ever think I have 4 kids, but I am just so happy.
I wish u the best and everyone else who wants their gender desire
Hi all, Im about 6 plus 4 now, just very tired at times and boobs have gotten bigger and sore. No sickness at all which I thought Id have by now. I have a scan at 7 weeks to see if all is ok or not. Im not sure we would ttc again if this pregnancy doesn't work out. Just feel a bit negative atm and just know this will be another boy if it does result in a baby and feel a bit deflated about going back to the baby stage again now, have lost that broody desire and hoping its a phase!

It's normal to feel that way Chocolate! Once you get farther along, it's easier to feel that baby fever. :) Right now it's just hard because you're still so early. I hope this is your girl!!
I'm finally starting to feel baby move more. It's still really subtle, like little taps and flicks but it's awesome to feel!
I hope so, just feel like Im regretting it and its horrible to feel like that

I'm feeling movements too ksmom! It's just flutters but still amazing. Chocolate I think it's natural to go through stages like that. You will feel differently seeing baby on scan.
I have my anatomy scan this Thursday I will be 18 weeks, I don't feel her move yet maybe sometimes or when I use my Doppler she will push against it lol. I can't wait to feel her all the time! I can't wait to get a potty shot! I didn't get one with my first dd and I closed my eyes at the 3D gender ultrasound, when she went into 2D to get gender. And I forgot to buy the potty shot because I was too excited. Here is my 3D of her though

So cute Princessmom! :)
HI chocolate, I am 7 weeks 1 day today. So we are really close. I've been having up and down emotions the same as you. Things like, why and I doing this again? Why am I putting my body though this and our family though it, etc. It comes and goes. When I've had lots of sleep I seem more positive, but by the end of the day I sometimes go back to these thoughts. My nausea is all consuming sometimes, so that doesn't help. I know when I hold this precious baby all will change. There is nothing like seeing your own newborn for the first time and talking to them and seeing them do all the firsts. It's makes it all worth it. I really really really hope this is the girl I've dreamed of all my life. If it's not, it will be very hard. I know I can love another boy. I know I can have so many happy moments watching him grow up. There will be lots of sad with the happy. Lots of comments, looks etc....fingers crossed for a girl for both of us!
With my other pregnancies my anatomy scan was always 20 weeks with my last I had to go twice to check another part of heart and my placenta.
This time I go at 18 weeks, I keep thinking to reschedule, but doc wanted me to have one in 3 weeks. It's a few day shy of 3 weeks. Many people have them done at 18 weeks. Just want to make sure everything is healthy
Well Dr office called and they had my MaterniT21 results. Baby is healthy with no chromosome abnormalities. And we are expecting boy #4.
At first I didn't want to believe it and still hope it wrong. But DH and I are okay with it knowing we did what we could and even with his low sperm count and my repeat miscarriages we have a healthy baby. I would love to say we are going to try again but this is it. I am destined to be a boy mom, boys are what we know how to raise.
Yay for healthy baby. Boo that they have you incorrect information. That's terrible.Quote:

I have been trying to keep up on here, but summer vacation is kicking my butt! Lol. The days are just flying by right now, but my kids are so needy at the moment I feel like I can't keep up with anything. Laundry, dishes, social media...:)
Just wanted to say congrats Princess mom!! I'm so glad you decided to go in for the elective scan. What a fun surprise and adorable pic of your kids.
Singing mommy, I'm so sorry you didn't get your gender desire, but big congrats on another healthy little boy to love:heart:
Ksmom, I am 100% in the same weight gain boat!! I have put on nearly 20lb and will be 19 weeks on Thursday:worry: I really do think that being underweight to start is a big factor, and I'm sure metabolism was affected by the diet and exercise regimen as well. I'm not TOO worried about it, but hoping it tapers off from here. I have been giving myself a goal of simply walking 30 min a day. It's HOT but I feel so much better when I get out and move. I have been so lax on exercise in general, so hopefully easing back into a routine and trying to avoid some of the unnecessary snacking and sweets will make a difference. I'm really not indulging a ton, but tend to eat frequently and much later at night before bed. So different than LE!!
I was supposed to have our anatomy scan with the perinatologist last week and they rescheduled until the 27th. I was was really looking forward to seeing baby again and getting a closer look at her overall health. And I STILL am very anxious to see that she actually has girl parts wih my own two eyes. I know I should trust the Panorama, but I feel like I won't fully believe t until I can see for myself! I started decorating the room and buying a few things here and there, but haven't taken any tags off...just in case.
Congratulations signingmommy on your beautiful baby boy in really sorry you didn't get to hear what you wanted to hear.

Signingmommy I'm sorry you didn't hear girl. :( I'm glad baby is healthy though. Have you told your boys yet?
LBB, I'm sorta glad I'm not the only one gaining a lot of weight. LOL My weight gain has slowed down a little to about a pound a week now which is a relief. My midwife isn't concerned about how much I've gained just as long as I'm eating healthy. I'm sure Panorama is right for you! It's supposed to be even more accurate than ultrasound. I hope you get a good potty shot so you feel more confident about pink shopping and decorating! :)
Sorry signing but glad baby is healthy
Babygirlquest my anatomy scan is now Monday, and I been freaking thinking oh my what if it was wrong! But I am far along so I am sure it is accurate and the place I went to all my cousins go to and I went with my last child at only 15 weeks. This time I was 17 weeks and baby is measuring a few days ahead. So my husband tells me I am crazy to stop being paranoid lol I won't stop till she born lol and even then I will be even more paranoid lol.
I just can't wait for December and to bring my daughter home :) so excited
Hi Ladies! I got my BFP at the beginning of this month - LMP was 6/3/2016 so I thought I was 5w 2d. Yesterday I had some spotting and went for an u/s - the nurse called me this morning and said I am measuring 4w4d�� I have already had 2 m/c and it appears I may be going down that road again. My hcg levels were like 4000 on Monday so I don't understand!
I'm sorry Kellbell. Due dates are often not correct going by LMP. Spotting can also be normal. I had spotting from 6 weeks to 7 weeks with this baby. I hope this is a sticky bean for you.
Well ladies, my anatomy scan is set for August 1st! AHHHHH! *deep breath* I just know baby is going to be a boy. :/ It will take some time to deal with I guess but it will still be hard to hear. DH was surprised/upset when I told him I'll be disappointed if it's a boy then I felt guilty for even letting those words come out of my mouth. He keeps talking like this baby is a girl and last night I flat out told him "we're not going to be having a girl." He was irritable for awhile after that. I just don't want to allow myself to live in some kind of fantasy land where I picture us having a daughter like I did with DS2. I'm full expecting to hear boy (and trying to prepare for it but it will still be difficult) but if by some wonderful miracle I hear girl then it will be a lovely surprise. All that being said, I hope baby is healthy. I haven't had an ultrasound since 6 weeks so other than hearing the heartbeat on doppler, I don't really know the status of this babe yet.
Congrats on the bfp
Here my baby girl potty shot Attachment 32166
Kellbell you are still close to your due dates so id wait a little bit to see if perhaps you ovulated late? Ksmom that sounds very wise but you have every chance of getting a girl.
Princess mom, how lovely to see that sight!
First time I have! I did not see my first dd potty shot lol
Anyone doing a tubal after birth? I am done with kids I will be 29 so doc keeps giving me issues, but my family is now complete, and I am very fertile so I think it would work best for me. Just need to get more info on it.
Ksmom I can't wait for your results from you scan! It will fly by! Hope u hear pink!
I know you must feel disappointed just like me and it's hard to see others realise your dream even though you're happy for them. I'm in boy three and just like you I'm having to let go of my pink princess. I guess I was only ever meant to have boys. I tried Ivf twice both times got to implant stage and just bfn ....

Dr says there is a slight possibility it's wrong due to the miscarriage I had just recently and that some chromosomes for the twins might still be floating around. But he is pretty sure the test is correct. DH wants to wait to tell the boys just in case but we are doing pretty good with the news I think. The oldest said he thinks it's a girl but wants a boy, the middle thinks it's a girl and wants a girl, and our youngest is pretty adiamate that I'm having a boy and he wants a boy. He is the only one in my family, friends, and acquaintances that thinks baby is a boy everyone else keeps saying its a girl.
I am going to be okay being a boy mom. I just know that my boys better have some granddaughters for me. My pseudo mom is pretty sure that this is not our last and that I will have a girl but I assured her that we will not be having any more after this, can't financially handle it, I want to retire at some point, and it took long enough for me to convict DH for this last one.
My youngest was adamant that my baby was a girl nothing we said would change his mind to what baby was. Wouldn't hear of it. Boy was he right. I think there is something to be said for a child's intuition.x

I been reading about that also!
I won't ever get a tubal. For one, I have vaginal births so no need to go in unnecessarily. And two, it's more permanent. For a man, it's quick easy and in and out. It's also easier to reverse if that came about later in life.
I told hubs he has to get the snippity snip. I'm not good with BC so there's that. And obviously NFP doesn't work, although we were 1.5years strong on that! This little bug wanted to be.

Several ladies in my mommy group have had a tubal done and they all complain about how wacky their cycles and hormones are. I think if you're okay with the potential side effects and will already be having a c-section (or are okay with major surgery for the tubal) then do it. Vasectomies are much less invasive and for men it's an in and out procedure so he could have it done in the morning and go to work later that day. Also, IF you were to get pregnant after having the vasectomy done, there's no risk to you unlike with a tubal there's a high chance the pregnancy would be ectopic. The only thing with a vasectomy is you'd have to use protection for at least 3 months afterward before he'll be tested to be sure no sperm are getting through.
I had some bleeding today after sex, I'm headed to doc this afternoon just to check my cervix, totally freaking out! I know this happen w my other pregnancies it so scary!
I hope everything is okay Princessmom!
My cervix is super sensitive to being prodded since children too and can bleed after too. Hope its just that and nothing to worry about

So now that we know we are having boy #4 (still holding out a littl hope the test was wrong) DH and I were able to easily agree on a name: Dorian Colt
