Looks like another af is on her way. Spotting has started, just like the last few cycles.

Ah no that's poo. Keep hoping for you.
This was my face when I found out my cousin is having a boy after 3 girls
Oh wow, I've got a few pregnant friends atm (not from here) with a few boys each (2-3) and I'm convinced they are having girls. Can't imagine it in the family.
I use the term cousin loosely. It's her dad that's my cousin and we are not close at all.
Ah I see. We are the only ones still having babies in either of our families. My brothers are not interested, 1 has a daughter he doesn't see.
Dh is older than me so his family all have kids in their teens and early 20s, that's what will be next, his nieces and nephews starting families.

Yeah my sisters are all done. My eldest niece and nephew are almost 26!!
Ah so sorry to hear about your dog! Bless her!
Hope your feeling of fainting subsides soon too!
Urgh know the feeling when someone gets what they want! Fed up with it tbh! Have you had your NT scan yet?
Yes but I had it at 11+5 so too early for guesses lol. Have to wait til Dec for my 20 week one.
Ah well, at least you saw baby :) xxx
Someone I know in the GD section of another site found out she's having a girl after 4 boys. I had to fight back tears as I congratulated her. I should probably find it encouraging but I feel like if there's 2 of us with 4 boys, we won't both get girls, if she's getting her girl then I won't be getting mine.

It's hard, it just feels like it will never be you.... It feels like the amount of people with same gender families that I know is getting smaller and smaller.
I noticed the other day some one I knew who moved away commented on a mutual friends Facebook status and she's just had a girl after 3 boys and 2 other people I know on Facebook are expect girls, 1 after 3 boys the other after 4.
I know that it isn't going to be me.

I feel that way sometimes, but i just tell myself that it's proof it can happen for me too xxxxxQuote:

Sweet mummy, your inbox is full again lol have you emptied your 'sent' box? I think that counts as part of your quota x

Ha ha! I've replied now.

Hows everyone doing?
Saw midwife today, told her I was still feeling sick and she said "another girl then?" :hair:
On the plus side I got to hear baby's heartbeat :heart::bigsmile:
How are you?
You would think midwifes would know better than to go by old wives tales. I was SO much sicker with ds4 than any of them and he was still a boy lol

I know, because I felt sick with the rest then obviously that means this one must be the same gender :/
Another friend having a girl after 1 boy. It would seem the closer people are to me the harder it is to deal with. Knowing that we have grown up nieces and nephews who are in stable long term relationships scares the crap out of me. If it's this hard when it's a friend how hard will it be when it's one of them?

I hate the smugness....
It's the way when people announce a second of the same gender people just 'like' it and say they bet the child will be happy with a little bro/sis. But when they announce the opposite twice as many people comment saying how fantastic it is and congratulating them

So true! The comments about "Awww one of each..PERFECT family!" really annoy me. So, because I have more than one of the same gender my family ISN'T perfect!?!?
I made Dh do the school run. I'm hiding. I don't think I can stand seeing everyone fussing over how great it is, and it'll be weird if I stand away from them. I'm not really close with her but she's one of the people I regularly speak to in the playground.

Give yourself sometime hun! I had a good "friend" (we mainly kept in touch through WhatsApp as she lives in Trinidad) who I stopped talking to because she had a girl a month after DS2 was born. She has a DS same age as DS1. I felt so hurt and like she rubbed it in my face but now I look back I just didn't handle it well and feel really petty. Time does heal.
Just want you to know you're not alone *hugs*
Thanks. That's really what I feel like. Like I can't watch her put up all the pictures people do of the baby clothes they have bought. And I'll have to avoid Facebook when her baby is born. I honestly want to just unfriend her but how pathetic and petty is that. I know that I'm probably being overly dramatic because I'm upset and af is due and everything.

Maybe hide her profile for a bit so you can't see her newsfeed? The news will wear off eventually and then there will be something else happening at school to throw the attention off her!
Thanks, I feel a bit better today. Although I did just realise that this actually means I am the only one in that group of people now without a girl.
I can't help but wonder if everyone feels some level of disappointment. Those people who say they will only have 2 and stick to it. When they get a 2nd boy or 2nd girls do they feel the "oh I don't get to do the boy/girl thing then" or does it not even enter their heads.
I think it must not because they seem to just get on with it and raise the two they've got. No idea! I've read some interesting views from people on here and on other sites about why they'd even prefer ALL of one gender but ended up with the other. Grass is always greener though right?
Yeah I guess so. I think I'm just greedy wanting both lol
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Definitely not ;) That would make me greedy too lol
Think we've done the boy bit so now we just want to see what this girl fuss is all about!
So the friend who has a boy and girl and is pregnant with a baby by a new guy who has only boys (she told me 5 but then confessed only 3 are biologically his) had her scan today. It's a girl. I felt physically sick waiting for news this morning. Trying to keep it together because it's dh birthday and don't want to spoil it for him. It's bit fair, she already has a daughter and he isn't even allowed to see his kids!

So it's official. Of 4 friends waiting to hear the gender, every one of them got a girl.
1 now has 1 of each.
The 2nd already had one of each but her boyfriend had 3 boys, so they were hoping girl.
And the 3rd has 4 boys and heard girl.
The last just announced a girl after 3 boys. I knew it would be. We are part of a small group and what are the odds of 2 people in that group ending up with 4 boys?!
Everywhere I go I am the only one with just boys.

I couldn't even be sad after the last one. I've exhausted all my sadness recently.
Dh has agreed to full on swaying in jan then ttc in feb but the last week or so I really don't know if I have the energy. I'm not saying anything to him yet but I just feel like I can be happy with my 4 boys. And I don't know if I can put myself through the waiting and hoping again. I keep thinking if I don't give it a go will I regret it one day? But at the same time I feel like maybe I'm ready to just move on. If I sway and get a 5th boy anyway, what then? Do I keep telling myself that maybe the next one would be a girl, if we just try one more time? And while I wish I could have a big family of 8 or 10 I know I couldn't afford that.
I'm still undecided but I'm wondering if it's time to just face facts and get on with my life. Today I only felt happiness with my boys, I didn't feel any kind of sadness or longing when people posted about their daughters on Facebook.
I must say that the person who announced last has been great. She hasn't flooded Facebook with girl stuff at all yet.
I know I will probably have days or even weeks when I'm really down again though.
Although I have always wanted a 5th baby, I do think that if I had a girl already I'd be able to look at all the other things on life and make a more level headed decision.

Hi Hun how you doing? Are you feeling any better? I'm feeling the same as you at the moment everyone is having girls and I just can't shake off the jealous feeling. It's getting harder! Feel like every time they get a girl it's one less chance for me! Crazy I know but I can't help feel that way!
Wish I just didn't care and it would be what it would be, but I think I feel this way more because I know we won't be ttc for prob another 12 months I think.
