This info has been very accurate for me and others. I had frequent blood draws this pregnancy and the levels matched the thresholds this lady mentioned :).. I was at 2000 (ETA: found my sway thread so I'm sure levels were 2000) when I got my last 2-3 week result.. I had a draw the morning I took the test..that's when I looked this up and found it and then later that night tested again and got 3+

Hi Butterflies buttercups, you're totally right, I couldn't have more fantastic feedback than all of these. All you women make me feel like this isn't the end of the world and that I will be able to love this little one as much as I would love a little girl.Quote:

Thanks for the lovely words :kiss:
Thanks a lot TP! After hearing your story I was actually already a bit less afraid of hearing it could be a boy. And hearing this from you that I can bond immediately at birth gives me a lot of hope! I really hope this will be the case...and indeed, getting a healthy baby is already a miracle. Just have to switch my mind to blue instead of pink. And I'm hoping pink will get real one day...:heart:Quote:

I can imagine how you felt. And it must be difficult to deal with it with 2 young children in the house. It's great you're in therapy. Do you think your prenatal depression has something to do with the GD? Can you speak openly about your GD with your therapist? I once tried it with my therapist who helped me with my grief, and I could tell he didn't understand. I understand that your DH is in pain seeing you being disappointed, but it's really good that he's so understanding and tries to make you feel better. That will only help you in dealing with the GD.
I really hope you'll feel better soon and try to look at your family as a unique lovely boy family. And if you have some more tips on GD, I'm happy to hear them :kiss:
Wow Shannshaff, your story moved me! Your GD must have been awful when you lost your 2 girls, no? How did you cope with it? Just by knowing you still had another chance? It's funny, just like you, I heard from some others that the sway opposite was just so amazing. It's like these little ones feel like they really want to please their moms even more. I think it's beautiful and really hope this little guy will do the same with me.Quote:

Thanks a lot foxtrotmama! Oh that's amazing that you watched those movies with your boys :) I have them all at home so hoping I could share it with my kids once ;) I suppose I'll just have to settle with watching cars and planes :)Quote:

I think it'll just take time. Hopefully it gets better from the moment I'll feel him.Quote:

Thank you for your reassuring words :kiss:
Thanks a lot Inforthree! Indeed, it seems a son-mom relationship is pretty special. Just hope I can experience it also.Quote:

I imagined our lives with a girl and now this is also 'falling apart'; that's just another thing to deal with.
I know, but just due to the fact I could conceive a girl, really convinced me that I definitely could have a girl with swaying. Since last year I didn't do anything to conceive a girl and now I did so many things...it's just so strange.
Since last year I'm well aware that we never know what life has in store for us, unfortunately. I think life has been cruel the last year, but I'm still trying to search for the positive in everything. And I hope this little one will help me with it. Big hugs for you too :kiss:
You know Sigrid, you could be surprised by your boy's personality. My DS1 is the creative type- various art projects that include jewelry making, painting with different media (glitter, different types of paint/textures), making sculptures, drawing, etc. He also loves to play the piano and loves science (creating experiments), and gardening to name but a few. He never played with cars, trucks or airplanes. He did like trains mainly to create different types of train tracks. All of my boys are very different. My DS2 loves sports and is a fantastic problem solver/critical thinker. He loves to build with legos and loves to make different kinds of paper airplanes. My DS3 is still little, but he by far has awesome coping skills when he gets mad or upset- he grumbles as he walks away to cool down and comes back happy! You never know what personality they will have, but you will soon get to know and love him the best [emoji4]!

Thanks a lot for your compassion Roedinga1! It's indeed something I don't want for anyone, even my worst enemy. I'm sorry for your loss too! Maybe it's not the same but I can imagine you were also crushed over your loss, because you already planned your whole future with this little one. And besides learning how to deal with your 'crushed future', you also need to start again, from zero (or below zero since you also need to deal with the loss). It's very understandable.Quote:

No problem for the delayed response, I understand why :) I hope you're all fine? That seems like a scary experience! You have a lot of tornados where you live? I can't imagine how that must be like. Last week we had a 'storm' here, with wind speeds of 100km/h and that's really A LOT for where I live. So like I said, I can't imagine how that must be where you live :)
Thank you for your sweet reply and take care there ;) :kiss:
Hi Cosmosis, thank you so much! It was and still is very painful, but fortunately the pain becomes softer in time. I also hope this baby boy will help me with it. Looking at all these reactions it would surprise me that it won't, so I'm hopeful!Quote:

Hi Burakoam, thanks a lot for the hugs, I can really feel them here :) I know, she'll always be our beautiful girl and she can't be replaced either way. I'm definitely going to tell him about his little (big) sister.Quote:

I really hope that what you say will come true, that I'll adore him and can't get enough of him! How did you cope with your GD and did you fell in love instantly at birth with all of your children? Fortunately my DH is very understanding; he also had a small preference for a girl, so I'm hoping we'll still have a chance in the future with HT maybe.
Thank you so much for your super kind words! I know that it hasn't been easy for you as well, but from what I hear from you, I can say that you're really strong and doing an amazing job. It gives me strength hearing these stories, so thanks a lot :heart:
The description of your boys' personalities make me smile :) It's amazing to hear! Looking at my hubby, we'll probably have one like your DS2 ;) And I love how your little one copes with his anger :D I hope he'll have that too :)Quote:

It's all great to hear, thanks a lot :kiss:
Sorry to hear about your loss and please do not worry that you won't love/bond with your son or that having a boy means a certain type of child. My 2 boys love all the disney films including beauty and the beast, frozen, cinderella, the little mermaid! Neither of them like cars, trains, dinosaurs, space, sport or anything else 'boyish' - other than superheroes, which are cool anyway! They like stories and puzzles and games and baking and doing crafts. They are sensitive, sweet, and adore mummy above all else. My eldest calls me his 'best bud'. My youngest mothers his soft toys and calls them his babies. He is the cuddliest, softest little thing imaginable. I wouldn't mind what they were interested in but I don't want you to feel having a boy has to mean certain things - they are all individuals. I always wanted a girl because I'm so close to my mum and want that relationship when I'm older but am coming to realise that I am SO close to my boys and as long as we are always open, honest and fair with each other - i believe we will always be this close. I think there is something really special about raising a man who is in touch with his feelings, who is kind and sweet and respectful to women - I feel that is my mission. The world needs good men!
The point is to me that she does hear it (he for you). We cant always control our feelings or emotions but anyone will tell you that they can affect a baby in utero as well. If im going to be devastated about something im going to tell her why. Im very honest while trying to be mindful of my childrens feelings too. I think there is a right way and a wrong way to do this. Its choosing your words carefully, while still being honest. Im not saying it will help you to tell him he is unloved or unwanted, because lets be honest..it wouldnt help you..it would make you feel worse. Its about telling him that while he was planned for and wanted he was a surprise because you always saw yourself having all girls and you have no clue what to do with him, but that you and him will learn it together :) Something your son and Liv have in common is they have both grown inside of you. Thats why it can be therapeutic to talk to your son about your daughter. As he grows he will have an understanding then of why mommy may sometimes still be sad on certain days when she thinks of his big sister. He will be able to relate, to understand (not so much at first, but definitely as he grows)
Samantha "knows" we tried for a boy and thats why she is here. She will undoubtedly hear the story as she gets older, its inevitable. But i have promised her that she has her own place in this family. That she belongs. That just because she doesnt have a penis doesnt mean she wont be loved and cared for. That while i dreamed of a brother for my girls, a son for my husband, that i think things worked out the way they needed to for a reason and obviously she is meant to bring something to our family dynamic that a son and brother wouldnt have. That even though 4 daughters in i have no clue how to raise the kind of woman i want them to be, that i will always try my best. That i didnt ever see myself as a girl mom let alone an all girl mom and so i am unfortunately learning things as i go. I have told her more recently how excited i am to snuggle her, and feed her..to see her big sister hold her. To see their bond since they are so close in age.
Most will agree a baby let alone an unborn baby doesnt necessarily understand everything you say, or most of it even..its the fact you say it, the tone of voice, its the emotions felt as they swish and move in your belly. How you stroke him when you talk about why you are sad, how it helps YOU heal and move forward with your feelings regarding Liv and now your soon to be born son.
Wow, such strong women in this group! I'm humbled by your stories of struggle and strength. I don't have words to suffice my feelings of sadness for what you've been through.
The truth is, I have never suffered a loss of a child so far. The closest thing I can relate to is the loss of a dream the day I found out my baby was a boy. It crushed me. I have come to terms with it obviously and love my son very much, however I still suffer with GD every single day. I struggle with anger, resentment and jealousy that eats at me if I let it. Some days are better, then come periods where it is more intense.
This is our last shot and I'm scared of my feelings if this is another boy. I've done the counseling, Ive tried discussing my feelings with my husband, I've bought books on GD, nothing has truly helped lessen the pain.
I feel mounds of shame for feeling this way. But 4 years into it I've got to just own my feelings and try to work through them.
I'm glad to know I'm surrounded by such strong and wise women during this pregnancy. During my pregnancy with my son I thought I was the only woman in the world who experienced these feelings, the only one who had to recite "I have a son" to myself out loud to practice saying something so foreign. It was the loneliest time in my life. The feelings were so isolating. I'm so thankful that even though I'm convinced I'll hear boy again, that at least I have overwhelming support from ladies who GET IT. [emoji170][emoji170]

Ok ladies, I'm needing you. It just was a matter of time before this happened- a close friend of mine is having a girl after having 2 boys. I just feel like I am carrying my 4th boy and there is no way I could be fortunate enough to give my DH a DD. I am very happy for her- she had tremendous GD with her first son and was callous when hearing her second was a boy. I feel like there is something wrong with me, because I literally have no gender preference. I'm wondering if that causes me to unconsciously sabotage my sway. Does that make sense? That I unknowingly screw things up somehow? I just feel defective- why can't I give my DH a DD? I'm clearly not in a good place right now...[emoji20]

Hi Sigrid! I wanted to chime in as well....I'm in the 2WW & hope to be lucky enough to be in this group FX lol...but wanted to say that I have 2 wonderful boys-19 months apart (ages 2 & 3) and they are so much fun! I'm super girly, love shopping, love fashion/jewelry, played with my dolls growing up etc.etc. I always thought that I'd have one of each and wanted a girl first. DS1 arrived first and no dissappointment there, just hoped to have a girl next. I wanted a girl soooo bad for baby 2....I decided to wait it out until delivery to find out gender. I felt like it was another boy throughout the pregnancy & instincts were right. However, there was absolutely NO WAY I could be disappointed when I saw this beautiful baby boy looking at me!!! DS1 looks just like DH & DS2 looks just like me...so I think that helps w/bonding in some way. We bonded instantly and it was love at first sight...it was that way with both boys! I never once cried that he was a boy....when you're holding a perfect baby in your arms...could only feel joy! It is a love like no other & so different than just looking at the ultrasound. My boys LOVE their momma!!!! Yes, they love cars, dirt, trucks, superheroes etc, but they watch Frozen & shop with me too :) I have fun dressing them in cute outfits with bow ties, plaid & hats! They keep me fit since they're very active & we're always on the go. I honestly wouldn't change it for the world!!! I'm swaying for a girl this time b/c I feel like a baby sister would be icing on the cake & complete our family. I'm trying to "will it" to be a girl this time :) Hoping praying...Not sure how I will feel if #3 is a boy...will cross that bridge. I don't want to feel the pressure of others being disappointed for me either.
I'm sorry to hear what you've been through! I promise you will love your baby boy & will understand the amazing, indescribable feelings once you're holding him in your arms!! Wish you all the best!! Think of an awesome name, plan the coolest nursery, buy some cute clothes & get yourself excited to welcome your little guy!

After the amount of time you spent trying and hoping though I think you deserve a healthy and happy take home baby regardless of gender. Your husband will always see his girl.. but he will come around to 4 awesome and amazing boys. I think at your core and his you both just want the other to be happy.. if it was financially feasible I think he would give you every baby you wanted regardless of gender. I honestly and truly believe he mostly wants a girl so that he can have a mini you just like you have 3 mini hims :).. this baby is on its way, she/he was meant to be here that's why you longed for her/him... they are going to complete your family one way or the other I really believe that. Wish I could give you the biggest hug. I really think it's your girl, honestly.. you will be finding out with a good nub shot the same time I am giving birth to this one.. there will be pink dust galore for you :)

Oh XX I know exactly how you feel. This week the same thing happened to me and I instantly said to myself, "well, there goes your girl. She just got your daughter." Its as if there is NO way that we could both have one.
But in life it really does seem to play out like that. When my best friend and I were pregnant at the same time, we both very much wanted to have a daughter. She was a little ahead of me, and at her gender reveal when everyone was screaming with excitement over her pink cake, the blood felt like it drained from my face. I knew. I just knew at that moment that my daughter was gone. Almost like she was taken.
I know this is totally just my perception. And that this announcement hadn't changed anything that happened at conception with my son. But the emotional part of me feels like every girl announcement close to me feels like the chances of that being my reality is now lessoned. Selfish I know. But my honest feelings. I can totally relate to the feeling of being so happy for someone else, but gutted for yourself all at the same time.
However, I will say that the sting does lessen after a few weeks. I am already saying to myself, so what if she is having a girl? Maybe we will both have girls together? That could still happen!
I feel your pain, and I hope we all get our dream come true daughters one day.
Not sure what I did to make you're quote now obvious in the above post XX! [emoji849]

Thank you Burakoam and Wantanother. I know that we both could have girls. We were pregnant together with our DS1's. I guess I need to prepare to hear boy so I can be strong for my DH. I don't want to allow myself to hope, because I don't want him to have to be strong to comfort me. I want him to be able to deal with his feelings and hopefully he will be ok when the baby is born. It took him until my DS2 was 6mo before they began to bond [emoji20]. That was really hard for me to experience, but I gave him his space and time to heal. What will be will be. Time will tell.

How is everyone on here ?
I am experiencing fulll on nausea basically all day and all night - lack of sleep so tired all day Aswell - the headaches have gone thank god I had them so bad with my ds2 .
So if anything this pregnancy has been a little different but worse nausea !
I'll have a day of eating bread then the next day I can't even look at a peice of bread !
Had my midwife appt today and she has said I can try for a VBAC which is amazing as I've had two
C sections already so that's good news .
Xx- it's hard hearing about people getting girls I personally feel but like u said u may well have a baby girl in there already - it's so easy to be anxious during this beginning stages - I keep going over my sway thinking it reads well and I should get my girl that I tired for but sometimes life has other plans for us which is hard to accept - I think we al need to try and stay positive until our scans and yours can't be too far away as you're further along than me?
We've decided we will find out and it will be the middle of April so not too far !

I woke up this morning feeling super nauseated and I've thrown up twice. I'm only 4 w 2 d! I'm feeling pretty nervous. I had moderate HG with DS1 and I really don't want to go down that road again.
Oh no that is early to be throwing up ! I hope u don't have the same experience - go doctors of it worsens x

You are NOT defective. At all. And I think MANY of us can relate to that feeling when we worry we can't conceived our desired-sex baby -- defective.Quote:

You're in a sensitive state right now -- the first trimester. I wish we could all write notes to ourselves before each pregnancy with a warning that, "You will NOT be in sound mind for awhile!" I'm so, so sorry you're feeling in a bad place right now -- but it's nothing you're doing or even any cosmic bearing on the sex of your baby. It's the hormones!!
Please come here and continue to talk about it with us. I'm not even sure why I'm in this thread, but I'll still stick around to help too!... I think it's because all of my friends on here are pregnant haha.
Glad you're feeling a touch better emotionally this morning XX. It's a funny thing how nighttime can bring on the strongest of our emotions. I've been having lots of anxious nights myself.
So my nausea and exhaustion has seemed to ease off in the last couple of days. Sometimes it's a little concerning, for miscarriage reasons and because I worry that it may be true that if my symptoms are so mild this is definitely a boy. I wish I could just know so I could prepare myself mentally.
My first scan is Monday! So we shall see. I'll be 8 weeks then, according to AF. But I feel I am about 4 days behind that, so we shall see what happens.

I agree night times are th worst ! I had exactly the same my last pregnancy I think that's what caused a lot of my head aches - anxiety - wondering is it a boy or a girl the whole 9 months ?
I was debating going team green but I don't think I can - I need to know so I can prepare x

How far along are you Butterflies? I'm on my phone and can't see tickers- if you have one!
I'll find out at the beginning of May, when I'm 18-19 weeks. I want to find out at 16 weeks, but my hospital prefers to do the anatomy scan on me later since I'm 37.
I'm trying not to freak out, but I'm having a break from the horrific morning sickness! I hope it lasts, but I also hope everything is ok with my baby. I get twinges of mild nausea every now and then but nothing like what I have been experiencing. Watch, I'll be puking later because I just jinxed myself 🤣! That's how my life works [emoji38]!

Dear XXforhubby. I can relate to your anxiety. I also worried the hole first and second trimester. Worried about MC, worried about gender, worried about abnormalities ect. ect. I woke up in the middle of the night and could not sleep. I think the days, weeks and months took like forever. Try to focus on something else than your pregnancy and then time will go faster. Our minds can play stupid games with us. Staying mentally fresh and prevent yourself from getting to tired is a way of coping with all the emotions and anxiety. Don't worry. You will be fine and might very well have a lovely little girl cooking inside you right now.

Thank you TP- that means a lot to me. You're so right that the hormones are amplifying my feelings. I'm in a much better place now and hope I can make it last. My DH needs me to stay strong, because he has never had to help me with gender disappointment before. TBH, I'll be over the moon to have another boy- I just love them to bits [emoji4]! I know I will love a little girl too, and I think I'm finally ready to have one. Time will tell to know if it's in the cards for me.Quote:

I had my beta checked today at 26DPO and she said it's "in the 4000's." I would've loved an exact number but that's not what I got. Anyway, it was 587 at 19DPO. I guess that's ok?
I'm having my first ultrasound Wednesday morning. I'm guessing she just wants to make sure everything looks good considering the miscarriage last October...

I am tentatively going to say hello. I got my faint BFP yesterday, but I started spotting last night and still this morning. So I am not sure if this little bean will stick. I have had so much going on in the pst 24 hours that I am a total mess. We had daycare call us and tell us they thing that someone might be sexually abusing our kids. Our 4 yo has a habit of "playing with himself" during nap time and I guess other times of the day too. I was really worried at first, but the more I look into it, I am just not so sure all the info is adding up. He is a sensory seeker for touch, so I have a feeling, that is the real reason for the touching.
But they had me scared because I get a call saying he inappropriately touched another child. YIKES!!! But I found out later he stuck his face in another kids but while he was at the drinking fountain (on a step) because he was taking too long. While that is still inappropriate, not near as bad as I had imagined. And well, my boys are gross and will fart on one another and put their butt in the other brothers face in the process. I do my best to stop them from this, but I am not everywhere.
So my DH got scared that they think he is the one abusing them and it turned into a huge fight this morning. And since I am the only one in the office on Fridays, I could not even call in sick. UGH. So here I am at the office, emotional, reading sad sad posts and feeling all hormonal. I am not in a good place because I was not ready for this BFP since it has always taken us at least 3 months to conceive.
Now I don't even want to tell DH about the BFP. I will have to wait a few days or even weeks to tell him because I need everything else to settle down or he is going to flip out. So maybe you guys can help me figure out a fun cute way to tell DH so I can get my mind in a better place.
Thank you, Shan
