Roe - I think that decrease in Prog is perfectly fine. It can change hourly in your system and it is still good and high. Also, vaginal supps won't show up in the blood.
Glad you are still feeling good and not sick. I am dreading the MS. :(

I absolutely fell in love immediately with all of my children. I've honestly never had a gender preference, and this feeling of wanting to have a daughter has only really starting to niggle at me as I'm getting older and childbearing days are coming to an end!! I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant with a very surprise pregnancy. It wasn't planned at all and I didn't get time to sway. I'm still debating on doing the Panorama for genetic reasons but if I go ahead I could know the gender in the next couple of weeks...but i'm still undecided at this point.
All the best with your pregnancy and I truly hope you are blessed with a happy healthy baby who you absolutely adore!!
Gosh, this group moves so quickly. Sorry I cannot keep up with all the 'congratulations' etc.
Sigrid, very sad to read your story. Huge hugs to you. But to add to the lovely boys stories - my three are all so different, so gorgeous in their own ways. Yes, I've always wanted a girl and did cry when I found out ds3 was indeed ds3, but I wouldn't change them for the world. He, of course, has been my easiest and happiest child - a true gift from God. My husband and I have said we would be more than happy if this one is a boy, it turns out anything like him! He is actually my first one who's been really interested in cars, trains & typical boys' toys. My other two preferred playing in their toy kitchen & role play games. Now all three are Lego crazy - my husband too, gives me a nice break, they're occupied for hours with it!
I'm only 4 weeks and feel TERRIBLE. Constant all day & night nausea - don't want to eat anything but as soon as I do feel better, which wears off as soon as I stop! Also overtired, shivery in evening, headache, back/shoulder ache & still getting stomach cramps at night (annoyingly mostly in right side - does that mean boy or just uterus expanding that way). Asked dh if he could please un-impregnate me last night and that I don't really want a girl (a boy) this much!!! Gosh hope it ends soon. Feel very guilty as don't think I'm able to be a great mum to the boys - just want to lie on sofa all day.
Lucy you sound exactly the same as me same symptoms - this is definately the worst I've ever felt pregnancy wise - I also said to my husband the other night I don't think I can do this anymore but it's too late !!
I'm also feeling I'm not doing my best to be a good mum or a good wife I haven't done much cleaning this week as I just don't have the energy.
Can't wait for this sicky stage to be over x

Well, I've lost a little faith in the CBDWE. I had my betas done yesterday and they were over 4000, I took a CBDWE this morning and it says 2-3 weeks? [emoji848]

That's so strange Roedinga! You should have gotten a 3+ reading for sure. I wonder if it's a faulty batch? The other thing to remember is it measures weeks past ovulation. Are you yet 3 weeks past when you ovulated? If so, then I would say it's a faulty test. At least you know everything is ok with your bean from your betas!

I'm 6w4d and I've got this bloated, pulling type feeling very low in my abdomen. If I try to suck in, I feel this weird pressure. I wouldn't call it a crampy feeling at all. Just kinda weird. Anyone else?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Roe , you and I are 3 days apart I believe and I took my last CBD 2 days ago and also got the 2-3 weeks results. I'm 4 weeks 2 days past ovulation or 6w5d by LMP today. I don't know if the test takes into consideration the fact that no hcg is produced until implantation.
What exactly does food aversion feel like? I don't appetize anything, but I'm starving all day :( I woke up at 2 AM ravenous. My tea doesn't taste good to me anymore either. Food tastes okay at best and I don't know what to do about it.
Food aversion is when food tastes/smell weird. My food aversion is fruit- at best fruit tastes extremely sour or unripe, at the worst it tastes like Vicks cough syrup [emoji13]. I can only eat bananas. I haven't tried melon yet but it's currently out of season here. I can drink fruit juice though, which is strange. Coffee smells nasty to me and tastes like what I imagine battery acid to taste like [emoji13]!

I am currently ravenous. I still can't eat more than 300-500 calories per meal or more than 250 calories per snack without puking. As long as I stick to these ranges, I can actually eat more than I have all pregnancy! I haven't gained any weight yet and have actually lost weight [emoji20]. I'm hoping this changes soon, since I'm 10 weeks today. I bet I'm hungrier because the baby is going through a growth spurt.

For a big part, I also want a girl because I'm so close with my mom (and my sister) and I have a bad example of my DH and my brother in law who see their parents only 1 time in 2 months, while I need to see my parents every week. I couldn't imagine it any other way...But you're right, it has to do with an individual and not with a gender and also how you raise them. That's a great mission and a so true. We have an important task ;) Thanks a lot for your kind words and sharing your experience. It scares me a little less to have a boy!
Xx I've also gone off coffee and on the diet I was drinking 4 cups a day now I can't stand the smell ! I can't drink tea either I'm just trying to drink water but even that is hard I'm enjoying full fat coke it's helping my nausea !
Roeding:
I know what u mean about the feeling in lower abdomen I have had that on and off I think it's normal I've had it in all my pregnancies I remember . I've also had a water infection this week though and that hasn't helped
I'm also ravenous in the night and in the day to the point my stomach really hurts where my hunger pangs are so strong I have to eat often to keep it all at bay
Xx I can't believe you're 10 weeks amazing ! I can't wait for double figures !

I'm not really convinced that he can hear or feel it, at least not yet (I'm only 14w along). But maybe he can...I went to some pshychics when even the best specialist of the country couldn't tell us anything and they were all very sure that the baby really can hear/feel you and that it's good to say what you want to say. They were also sure they understood it. So it's probably true. And you're doing great I think by talking to your baby and be honest with her.Quote:

I had the same with Liv. I didn't really felt very connected before I could feel her. So I think in a few weeks I'll follow your advice. It's really beautiful what you say. You're saying better things than my therapist :)
Is Samantha your baby on the way? I'm sure she'll be an amazing little girl; it moves me how you can handle it so well and make your kids feel important and wanted. That proves what a great mom you are! And maybe she will really be like the boy you both always wanted (only without the penis :)). My father told me a few times that he hoped for a boy after my sister, but then there I was...but he always told me he didn't mind anymore because I went to football games with him, played tennis with him and did a lot of things boy love to do. So it can be the same with her.
With all the things I hear from you, it might be that you don't have a clue, but I'm damn sure you're doing an amazing job raising your girls. And remember, nobody's perfect. I'm sure all your girls love you just the way you are. I hope you can look at it as something unique, being a mom of 4 girls. But I know it's not easy because you didn't think of you as an all girl mom. Just as I really don't see myself as a boy mom.
You're maybe right, it's also a form of healing, talking to my unborn baby. And therefore I think it's really important for me to do it, because I'm not healed yet, not for a long time I think, but I'll do anything to progress in the healing process...
Really Burakoam, a job as a therapist would really suit you :) Thank you so much <3
[QUOTE=Wantanother2017;891073]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]
That's really nice to hear! But the thing is: once you come in this situation, you don't have another choice than being 'strong'. You maybe never suffered a loss of a child but you've also felt loss, the loss of a baby girl. I can imagine it crushed you, it did the same to me last week. That's the thing I hate most, just like you also felt: jealousy. It's like I see little girls everywhere and everyone around me gets girls. I think that's something we can only get rid of when we get our girl or with the help of a therapist?
Does your DH understand your GD or really not? I think that does a lot...mine is now very supportive although he doesn't really mind this one's a boy. But if we hadn't lost our girl, he wouldn't understand I think. You don't need to feel ashamed of your feelings. That's the thing with feelings, you just can't help having them...
Indeed, I'm also really glad to be surrounded by this group of amazing, wise, strong and supportive women.
I know, I also thought I was the only one wanting a girl so badly, but I think it has lots to do with the fact it's like a taboo...ofcourse for some people it really doesn't matter, but I believe many people have a preference.
How far along are you now and when will you know the gender? I wish you lots of pink for this pregnancy :kiss:
Hi Lolabelle, thanks a lot for sharing your experience! I'll cross my fingers for you :)Quote:

Your story is truely inspiring that you didn't have any GD with none of your boys. That's the thing with me...I only saw an US for now and that doesn't say a lot ofcourse. I do know that I was instantly in love with Liv from the moment I saw her. It was then that I understood why for almost every parents, their children means everything to them. That so overwhelming love! And that the thing now...I don't know if I can love this little guy as much and as soon as I love(d) her. Reading your story it's possible, so I'm really crossing my fingers :)
Did you sway for a long time? I understand you don't want to feel the pressure of others of being disappointed. Have that as well now...
Really thanks a lot for your kind and hopeful words! And thanks for the tips, I'm gonna buy some clothes real soon and try to find a great name :) Wish you all the best as well; I'm crossing my fingers for a sticky bean :kiss:
Thank you! It does feel good to hear so many of you loved their children immediately!Quote:

Thanks a lot! I also wish you all the best in this surprise pregnancy :) xxx
Hi lucyandboys, indeed it moves quickly :) I didn't check it for about 10 days so couldn't follow anything anymore :) But now when I found out we're having a boy, I just wanted to hear other boy mom's experiences.Quote:

That's soon to feel this terrible, poor you :( Ask your DH to do a bit more now. It's really hard to take care of 3 kids when you're feeling like that. And really don't feel guilty, it's only a few weeks (hopefully) you'll feel like this. They won't remember that ;) I wish you all the best in your pregnancy and hope you'll feel better soon! X
If it's any consolation, I felt terrible until 11 weeks. Since then I can eat more. Now, it's rare that I'm nauseous and if I am, it's because I didn't eat for a long time. How was it with the rest of your boys? Last pregnancy I lost weight also, about 2 kgs. But apparently, the baby takes what he/she needs, so I was told not to worry about that. Hope you feel better soon!Quote:

So it looks like I will be leaving the group. I did not take another test this morning, but the cramping and bleeding tell the story. :( I have been having severe cramps and a light flow of red blood. :( So it looks like I am having a chemical.

Shann, I'm so sorry.
Thanks Sigrid! Just in the waiting stage! I have been swaying pink since last June, but this is only the 2nd attempt ttc since AF returned. I was still nursing DS2 and that kept AF away until recently. I was so disappointed when last month didn't work! I didn't want anyone to know that I'm ttc #3 and especially that I'm swaying pink! Too much pressure...so I've felt a little alone & that's why I decided to join the 2WW forum. Now I don't have to keep everything bottled up inside! My worry for baby2 was wondering how I could ever love another as much as the first. I discovered when DS2 arrived that your heart expands and your love just grows for both!!!! I also discovered with DS1 & DS2 that the momma/son bond is quite special! I didn't sway for my 1st or 2nd...I realllllly wanted a girl for #2, but didn't research it & didn't realize that I may have been swaying blue both times with preseed, soy isoflavones & fertileCM etc.
I have not been in your shoes, but admire your strength and courage! You are such an inspiration to others by sharing your experience & feelings. Liv will always be your first born and you'll never forget her. Your worries about immediately loving your new little guy just as much are perfectly normal. Have comfort in knowing that your heart will expand and open up for your precious baby boy. He will have a sweet angel watching over him. Wish you all the best!! :)

But are you sure yet? Since it's a light flow of blood, it can be something else maybe? I'm crossing my fingers for you.

Butterflies, I hope you have better luck with your veins this week!
I'm 6w5d and feel zero nausea except a very mild queasiness in the car. No need for a puke bucket for me but definitely noticeable. My main symptoms right now are pretty serious fatigue, breast fullness/tenderness and some lower abdomen pulling/pressure.
Cosmo, how are you feeling? We are pretty close as far as dates go, any nausea or new symptoms for you?

Oh ok, so you're still swaying since June? That's a long time! But that's really good for the sway ofcourse. I hope you feel comfortable with the swaying? I know, if you're ttc you want it right away...did it take long with your 2 boys? It's good that you join the 2WW forum, or even this forum. Everyone is so helpful and comforting. It helps you when you're not in the best place.
Ooh that's so good to hear, that your love just grows for both. And I'm really hoping for that special mom/son bond :)
I have a veeeery pink lifestyle and now swayed for this little one so I thought there wasn't even a chance this could be a boy and that just makes me wonder if I was again on the wrong side of the statistics (like last year with our loss) or I did something wrong. The only thing I can imagine is that I had an orgasm but would that really be a deal breaker?
Thanks a lot for your kind words! It's funny, I hear it from a lot of people that I'm strong, but it's just that when you get in that situation you don't have any other choice than 'be strong', so I don't know if you can really call it strong. Liv will indeed be our first great love and we'll never forget her. 'No child is so present as the child that's being missed' says my therapist and I really believe that's true! And I reaaaaallllyyyy hope my heart will indeed expand and open up for this little one. But you're damn right on the fact that he'll have a sweet angel watching over him. Thank you so much for your comforting and sweet words <3
I feel so crappy, I haven't posted today lol. I've lost my appetite for everything but protein and starch. Fat makes nauseated and I can no longer tolerate the smell of tea. Decaf isn't going down well either. So much for my keto pregnancy plans. u_uQuote:

Glad you aren't feeling so terrible! :) and I hope nausea and MS stay away for you! (and me lol). Still POAS?
What you're experiencing is pretty much all I know as far as pregnancy goes! I couldn't tell you exactly when the MS exactly started with any of them but it was mild with DS1, awful with DS2 and pretty bad with my m/c in Oct. I'm literally just waiting for it.
I know the diet is boring but eat whatever makes you feel best and you and bean will be fine. I lived on peanut butter and dry cheerios with my last pregnancy. Gosh, I hope you feel better! I know how miserable that is.
Ok in my defense, I have piles of Wondfos so yes, I'm still POAS and temping. It's looked the same for days or a week (I'm ridiculous). That dang CBDWE discouraged me. I have one more and I don't even know if it's worth peeing on!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I wouldn't worry about our diet yet Cosmosis. I would wait until you feel better first. Just eat what you can and re-evaluate once MS leaves.
That's what I'm doing now. My MS has let up tremendously. I'm starting to feel hungry, which I think is due to the baby's growth spurt. I'm also breastfeeding 3 times a day still. I am starting to introduce more vegetables , but I miss my fruit [emoji20]! I can't wait for this damn fruit aversion to leave me! I hope it doesn't last all pregnancy [emoji20]!
I'm starting to get a baby bump! It's my 4th pregnancy so I knew it was a matter of time. However, since I haven't gained any weight yet I'm wondering if I have 2 beans growing in there.

I wish I didn't care lol. I gained too much with the sway, which leaves me no room to gain for pregnancy and I don't want to be placed under high risk due to weight, which happened with DD. I didn't know that was a thing >_>Quote:

Yikes! I didn't know that could happen either! I see now why you are worried. FX you can manage the weight gain. I know it can be hard, but I bet you can do it. I managed to hold my weight steady in the third trimester with my first two pregnancies, because I gained too much early on. I'm hoping I can repeat that this time around. It makes me nervous gaining so much in the end, because I'm spoiled to delivering decently sized babies!
