Welcome Sweetsister!!! Yes, come hang out! Did you sway? What gender are you hoping for?
Welcome! I think Fivebabies and I are in the same boat - she is due Dec 1. I am using Dec 2 but my US said Nov 30! Of course, DS 2 was 8 days late!!
Thanks for the warm welcome girlies:heart: Yes i swayed from starting last summer starting with IG diet and then switched the last 6 months or so Le diet and i had to use Clomid finally last 3 cycles to conceive.Quote:

Hey everyone. I had a scan today. Definitely a boy; no doubt about it. Three seconds into the ultrasound the technician said, "That's a boy. Ooops, didn't mean to spoil it." Even if he hadn't blurted it out it was really obvious. The little guy's wee-wee was everywhere.
I came home and found the dress that I had ordered was in the mailbox (it was on back-order). Kind of a kick in the teeth, huh? I have no more chances. I'm 44. I guess I'm done.
I don't know how to feel right now. Four boys. I can't believe it.
Oh, man. I'm sorry. I guess you are just good at making boys. That's what I tell people about my own family. Your 2010 son will LOVE having a brother close in age. He is so lucky:HH:.Quote:

You did what you could and you have a brand new life to bring into this world and a 2 year old that will love having a sibling close in age. I would hold onto that and it is a special, special thing to have a family with 4 of a kind. Hold your head up and you get the chance at 44 with all the knowledge you have of being a mom to not stress the small stuff and really enjoy this little guy. Congrats and I hope you can start to smile soon.
I'm sorry Hun. Wish I had words to help. (((HUGS)))
Yuzu, try to stay positive :) I am sorry you didn't hear a girl :( I had GD with my second boy- he is my soul, my heart, my everything! I love him to death! I am sure you will feel better when you see your baby boy :babym:
I am so sorry Yuzu :hugs:
Oh Yuzu, I'm sorry. :hugs: FWIW, I would love to be in your shoes--4 boys sounds wonderful.
NBP puts it really nicely with some lovely words. You have a beautiful little prince in your belly, who can't wait to be part of your family.
You gave it a hell of a shot, but sometimes we don't get what we want. It sucks. But I am thinking of you with big virtual hugs coming your way xx take care of yourself gorgeous xx
I am really sorry Yuzu. Like everyone has said, I just know this is going to be a really special little guy for you. There is something pretty great about being the little brother forever. After all you did, God must have a special plan for this little one's life.
That being said, I am happy to commiserate with you as well. It sucks. Especially after swaying, it doubly sucks. Especially when you see fast-food scarfing, carniverous, salt-loving, breakfast-eaters getting their DD's without even trying! :mad: It's just not fair!!
I know those feelings will all melt away when you fall in love with that sweet face!! But, it's ok to mourn that loss too. Big hugs to you!! :hug2:
December 4th here but I never make it full term so I will have the baby in November
Welcome :)Quote:

I want to very sincerely thank everyone. When I woke this morning I felt a little better--not great, but not awful, either. I hid that dress I ordered in the closet and started taking some deep breaths. I must admit, I did take a peek at IVF for older moms...lol...but only a little teensy peek. I want to enjoy this pregnancy!
It helps that DH is over the moon with the idea of having two boys of his own. He's so excited. He kept saying, "I have sons! He's truly thrilled. And DS3 is so cute right now, it's fun to imagine having another one like him. Also, I'm so glad the pressure of thinking about gender is over. Now I can relax a little.
Yuzu, I love your last post...I think it's great to try to look on bright side, but I can only imagine how you must feel...big hugs! We were all hoping for you, but this little man was just custom made for you and your DH!! And it's so lovely that your husband will have two sons of his own...my DH does love having two boys and it's very speical bond they will have since your two other boys are older.
big big hugs hun!!!!!!!!!
Here's the good news though, it's a SURE sign your pregnancy is thriving! ;)Quote:

Welcome new ladies (sorry can't backtrack on phone to remind myself of names!) - hope you are getting a second trimester glow!
Can't wait to feel better here so I'm trying to rise above sx using the hypnobabies affirmations. Totally recommend those tracks - they just deepen your sense of wellbeing. I'm hoping it'll help me if I get too hopeful about this being a girl. I just couldn't see any boy nub during the scan and my kind-of-nub shot (posted) seems girly, or at least not boyish! It's definitely not enough to feel convinced so I'm starting working against gd now!
How's everyone else? Battling on or sailing through?
I had a u/s today, measuring 15 weeks and ITS A BOY!!! I put my pics in the confirmed boy section :)

Yes, my dr recommended her to me since the Dr's office won't do another on until 18 weeks unless there was something wrong, she is the one that trained the techs that work at my Dr's officeQuote:

How is everyone feeling? I am still getting nausea daily and I can not take my prenatal vitamins. I do think overall it is better but maybe my tolerance for it is waning? It just stinks because typically I love being pregnant and it's not easy to love it if you feel cruddy half the day. My energy is better though and my mood is definitely better.
I have my scan Tuesday and I am starting to feel anxious about it. She did such a good job last time, I am sure she will be able to tell I am just really nervous about the result. Trying not to feel too hopeful that it is a girl but the more I go through this stupid long nausea, the more I feel pretty sure that I don't want to do this again. I just want to be happy with the baby I was given!
I think you are having a girl NeedAGirl, you had a pretty convincing girl nub shot
I am exactly the same right now. Well, sort-of - the nausea is a mild constant in the back of my throat, but the tiredness and grumpiness is getting me down! My poor boys are having to put up with such a horrible mum right now and I feel awful for them and, just like you, unable to imagine gong through it again. My previous pregnancies were SO much easier. I don't know if it is age, having 2 littlies to chase around or just a different pregnancy, but I'm feeling sad I'm not enjoying it. I'm determined that it's going to get better, determined! (Edit to stop being self-centred and say I'm sorry you are getting it tough!)Quote:

Every time I look at my scan pic I get less confident I have a clue what I'm looking at. Maybe I need a break from here to stop obsessing....Quote:

DLoui - I am so happy for you! I love it when a good plan works well! Boys are so scrummy!
Gentle I think you have a pretty convincing girl nub too :) when will you find out gender?
Gentle, I know your nub isn't 100% clear but what is there looks girly and sounds like you saw more girly nub on the video. When is your next scan?
I do think my nubs look girly but I am really afraid to be confident - like I'll jinx it or something! You do hear those awful stories where moms are told one gender earlier and then confirmed to be the opposite later. Right Five? LOL?
Last night we went to a baseball game for work and there were these 2 preteen girls sitting in front of us. They were really beautiful girls in tank tops and really short shorts! DH and I kind of looked at each other at the same time like "what have we gotten ourselves into?" I realized I have absolutely no idea how to mother a daughter!! Hope I don't screw it up!
LOL. Totally true! I never want to ruin anyone's excitement for an early scan (I have been soooo tempted to go!) but I cringe when I hear people that hear girl early.....For those of you who don't know, I was told girl, "100% sure" from a lady that had been a tech for 18 years...then at 22 weeks a weener popped up!...oops.
That's why I refuse to go until after the 20 week mark and will have it confirmed at an elective after 26 weeks. ;)
DH and I TOTALLY do the same thing when we see teen girls! Freaks us out!!!!!!
I can't wait for your scan NeedAGirl!
Don't sweat it... you won't screw up :o. I have nieces that wear shorts and tank tops and they're the sweetest, easiest girls. You'll do a great job!Quote:

Awww thanks for the reassurance - I'm feeling its a girl but too scared of disappointment too! Sounds odd but I'm not sure we're going to officially find out. I want to have one baby be a surprise and this pg has exhausted me enough to put in a doubt about having #4. I think maybe as long as I don't feel I'm mad to think girl I can tough it out! Who am I kidding? We have scans booked at 20, 28 and 34 weeks, but I'm also wondering about paying the big money for a 3/4d scan this time, as it may be the last.
We were at church family day yesterday and I watched some girls I've known since they were born being all 7yr old girly girly together and thought about how I never really 'got' that - I'm just not girly myself! And cleaning up girl botties seems much harder to me than boys! So yes, I have my fears about having a girl. God knows and plans best...
Five babies, are you having any scans before 26 weeks? that must have been such a shock! Is he still cheeky?
Huge congrat Dloui!! I am so excited for you. You must be over the moon :)
I have my next scan at 19w5d which is Friday 13 July. Mmmm I don't think having a scan on Friday 13th is. Good sign at all!!
SO Five, in retrospect, what do you think happened with your scan? 18wks seems awfully late to miss a penis! Now that you have seen even more US pics, do you look at yours and also think girl? Was it a gender scan or a regular US?
