I've already googled "hcg number indicative of gender" and I need to stop. I'm such a control freak... I guess I didn't realize how out of my control this whole thing really is. Lol. I'm so scared of gender disappointment. I don't want to feel that way.

What is done is done, u have done what u can. If it doesn't happen then it just wasn't meant to be. I have basically accepted that this is a boy. That way if this baby IS a boy the tests will confirm what I already believe to be true. If this baby is a girl then I will get a wonderful surprise. I figure it's better to make peace with it now than to be disappointed later.Quote:

I'm sure you've heard it before but raising brothers is truly great. I love it so much. Just would be nice to have just one daughter :-(
Are you going to find out by blood test?
If we have a girl this would most likely be our last. If we get a boy we might try once more but then I feel like I would be so stressed trying to sway. I don't know.Quote:

It's a boy. I'm really disappointed. I did everything I could to sway girl but obviously we only make boys. I know I will love him as much as my other boys but the thought of never having a daughter is just making me so sad right now. This is absolutely our last child so no more chances for a girl.
I will probably take some time off here but I wish you good luck ladies!
Sorry you didnt hear girl 2xblue. Thinking of you and sending you hugs. I guarantee you will feel better after having some time to process it all. Xxx
Mum to 5 special princes
I'm sorry. :(
I'm so sorry to hear that. I know you know you will love him and are happy he's healthy. It's definitely okay to feel what you do and normal. I was very depressed with my second dd and still feel sad about not getting a boy. I hope your men take good care of you and let you have some me time.Quote:

I'm sorry 2×blue :( please come back when you are ready we would all love for you to share your pregnancy with us still.
I'm also trying to tell myself that I'm having a boy until confirmed otherwise. Unfortunately I can't stop having that little bit of hope its a girl so I think I will be disappointed anyway.
So sorry as well two. Thinking about you today.

I would feel exactly the same way 2xblue, in fact I'm trying to prepare myself because I do think it will most likely be a boy. I've been trying to think of all the same gender families I know, especially the ones with boys and the ones I admire. Take all the time you need for you, and know that it took two of you to make a boy not just you. Thinking of you and sending you positive thoughts and energy as you process this.:bighug:

I should sumbit my scan for ds2 to see what they say but it takes a week to get the results.
I have never even heard of that... What's the idea behind it??Quote:

Not to change the topic, but I have a question. Anyone else having issues eating anything less than "clean"? Seriously, the idea of a burger from McDonalds is a complete turn off.. even a "healthy" chicken one. BUT give me a veggie platter (which I am currently munching on) and it tastes like heaven! For lunch I had a lettuce wrap.. not 100% "clean, but it had a pickle, slice of cheese and a bit of mustard and it was divine. But, again, The best smell in the world (fresh baked cookies) makes me wanna hurl :( I am also having issues with meat. I can handle meat IN something (like chilli) as long as it functions ONLY as a protein and there are no big hunks and other flavors override the flavor of the meat itself, but I can't bring myself to eat a piece of chicken. The other day we went out for dinner. I am not a very adventurous eater, I stick with what I like and I get 1 of 2 things 99% of the time and the other 1% is usually something Italian. The 2 things I normally get are either a BBQ bacon cheeseburger or a "stuffed tomato" (basically it is a tomato sliced open in wedges with a big helping of either tuna or chicken salad on it and served with LOADS of fresh fruit and veggies). The fruit and veggies sounded good, but the idea of tuna salad or chicken salad turned my stomach. I ended up getting a veggie omelet. Not complaining, just curious if it's just me. In my previous pregs I craved food very differently. With DS1 I craved sour kraut, with angel #1 I craved subway, with DS2 I craved sweets, and my last 2 pregs didn't get far enough to really discover what my cravings were. Seems bizarre to me given my record, lol. It's like this baby will only except the very best... or wants mommy to be vegetarian :giggle: :eek:
I LOVED veggies with DS. I ate veggie plates everywhere we went and always snacked on fresh veggies too. Atleast it's healthy! Haha I'm about to eat a bacon cheeseburger. Lol.
I've been FREEZING since I found out I was pregnant, which I think is odd. Freezing and tired are my only Symptoms so far...oh and a headache almost everyday (I did give up caffeine tho.)

I'm having weird cravings too, but honestly I wish I could get away with eating nothing at all because food overalls sounds so horrible to me most of the time. Unless I get a craving then that's all I want but once I have it I'm over it, I don't want it again. I've been nauseated since the week following my positive test. I'm the most nauseous at night, 4pm on I'm a mess so I take diclegis at night bc it helps me sleep and get a little relief from the nausea. So far my craving has been a 7 layer burrito from Taco Bell (which I haven't had in 6 years at least) and sweets. I cannot wait for the 2nd trimester when food will look/sound good again!!
I have been FREEZING too!! Thankfully we just bought a heated mattress cover (has like 9 settings so no risk of getting too warm) so when I am at home I am in bed with my blanket on and my heater set to 4.
BTW, someone mention the Ramzi method. I looked it up and based on the pics on the sticky it looks like bean's placenta is on the left... does it look that way to you all?

Lots of food is unappealing to me and sometimes I would rather not have to eat but I make sure I do.
I'm not freezing but it is still summer weather here. I never feel overly hot when pregnant but both times I was big right through most of winter and early spring so it will be the same again. Probably the best timing for a pregnancy avoiding the heat of summer!
Was that a transvaginal scan Two? I think the right side of the photo is your left.
Yes, transvaginal. But wouldn't the pics in the sticky be transvaginal too? Those are some really early ultrasound pics too. Also, Ramzi is supposed to predict early in the first tri... which is transvaginal territory.
ETA: pics in sticky say "trans" on them.
They tried the external scan on me first but it doesn't work well for my tilted uterus. I think sometimes they don't have to do transvaginal scans but most often they would.
Not sure about the left and right but they all seemed to be switched over on the gender experts site.
I had an early ultrasound with ds and they didn't hesitate using external. I've never had a transvaginal

I have a retroverted uterus so it's trans for me until AT LEAST 10 weeks (with a bladder ready to explode) or 12 weeks with an empty bladder. Thankfully my current OB doesn't dish out the "let's make you have to go so bad you are in physical pain and then make you lay down so we can push down HARD to make you even more miserable" brand of torture. Empty bladder every time. If they can't see through the belly they just switch to trans until you are further along.
Don't put too much stock into Ramzi theory. My sweet DS3 whom I just nursed to sleep had his placenta on the left side too. I also ovulated on the left (different theory), and he is definitely all boy!
I just don't want to see you ladies get too excited about it or get your hopes up. The only way to know for sure it with a NIPT, or a scan at 13+ weeks.
FX to those still waiting to find out!

Nah, just speculating for fun :) Like I said, I've pretty much accepted this bean will be a boy. I am not putting to much stock in it anyway. My DD was on the opposite (aka boy) side.Quote:

I'm going to join you ladies. I was on a due date forum here with the last baby and it was a blast:) I'm due Oct 12th. I wanted blue last time and I thought I did again but now I'm not sure...feeling open to either I think. Someone mentioned food. I'm jealous of your veggie addiction. They sound horrendous to me but so does just about everything and yet I have an easier time eating things that aren't good for me..perhaps I "know" they taste better. I'm also extremely bloated and overall pretty uncomfortable. I'm looking forward to week 12:) So I looked up Ramzi theory too and I just can't quite wrap my brain around it and I can't decipher the photos. I *think* mine looks like it's on the right but who knows.
Welcome and congrats!! H&H 9 months!!
Welcome lala :) I'm due the 12th too :) did you sway this time? I assume you swayed for your son?
I've been either SO cold or in the middle of the night I'm dying hot. I've also been quite sleepy. I've picked my afternoon coffee habit back up, I gave it up when swaying (fancy sugar and fat filled coffee :-p).
Also, I'm so early in pregnancy and I have never experienced this in past pregnancies but I've been getting pretty uncomfortable cramps and back pain. The cramps aren't concerning to me, not like painful but just annoying dull and constant. The back ache is worse. Like, I'm 4 weeks what the hell? Lol
Lala!!! Congratiolations! How lovely.
How is Your little boy doing?
Congrats Lala. Kmom I had crazy cramping and pain in areas I've never had at 4 weeks this time. I was soooo scared but luckily you seem more calm than me, lol. It was obviously nothing and my RE said our hormones cause crazy aches and pains.
I'm 6w2d and the nausea started right on time yesterday. It's only in the morning if I don't eat. Since I got pregnant I'm slipping into my natural LE ways and eat later. My light nausea scares me because that's what I had with both my dds. It's making me feel better that a lot of people have the same symptoms with both genders.

Hi ladies!
I'm tentatively jumping in to join you. I've been lurking for a while but afraid to post too early. I had two back-to-back miscarriages last year, so I'm a bit gun shy. :) Praying I don't have to bow out! I'm 10w, due Oct 1st with my 4th baby. After 3 boys and two losses, I just got my panorama results back...and it's a girl! I'm still in shock and not totally believing it. I've been swaying for—no joke!—five years now for a girl. (ds #3 was a opposite sway) This cycle, ironically, I didn't do much of a sway. Ha! Figures, right? Now I'm just hoping she sticks! Heard a strong heartbeat at 8w, so that was a relief. Hcg levels never got terribly high, but hoping that doesn't matter too much now? We're still not telling anyone—even the kids—until 12 weeks, just in case. I have my next appt. on March 23, so I'm just crossing fingers and toes, and counting down days until then to make sure we're still healthy and heart a-beating.
Been so nauseous with this one that I've lost 10 lbs already. Can only eat bagels and toast most days. Occasionally a bean burrito or peanut butter sandwich for a little protein. But nothing resembling meat or vegg. Ugh. Even the typing the words is making me queasy. lol! And sooo tired. Of course, that could be due to the three active boys and the fact I'm...ahem...on the older side. Amazing how different it is being pregnant at 39 than with my first at 22.
Congratulations girliedreamz! Saying a prayer she stays sticky! And I'm sorry about your losses.Quote:

I feel pretty torn about which gender I prefer..one minute ride think boy but then feel sad about not getting a girl and vice versa.
Yay congrats! I hear you on bagels..they're the only thing that sounds good to me room I force other things down but it's not fun.
Sweet dream I remember you! Didn't you have a daughter around December of 2014 too? Hendrix is doing so well...he's either very very happy or raging mad but so sweet and lovey. I adore him:)
No my daughter is from februari.
She's amazing! Very cute and fast! Walking and climbing. She plays amazingly Well with the boys!
She's trully a great bonus gift!
