One attempt 3 days before ovulation. No orgasm (did with the 4 other pregnancies lol). J & D. Only went on LE diet for about 8 weeks though which I'm worried about, but fasted til after 12 every day which was so hard for me as I usually eat breakfast. Drank coffee and alcohol every day (I don't drink coffee and alcohol normally), was still breastfeeding my toddler...that's all I can think of off the top of my head lolQuote:

Congratulations on your little boy MrsSparkles, very cute pics.
I agree with Bre that big brothers are great, if you decide to have more kids and have your girl later she will have a great big brother to look after her.
Ooh he's so cute! Love his little hand xQuote:

I guess I should know in a couple weeks! :)Quote:

That sounds like a great mumof4. Are you finding out? I don't remember what you said.
Bre I really like the name !
Mummy I really do think you've got a high chance for your girl.
That looks like a fab sway to me !
Yes will hopefully find out in a couple weeks at the morphology scan if Bub cooperates lolQuote:

Anyhow, I guess my hormones are raging but today I'm just so sad. THis pregnancy has been much harder than my first two in different respects and everyday I have constant aches and pains and am so fatigued. Add in the queasiness and I'm just a mess. But then today, I'm in tears because I'm truly convinced I'm having another boy. And for some reason it's devestating today. And honestly I am not that person...I am such a nervous wreck about even being pregnant that I really want a happy healthy baby more than anything. My two boys are amazing and so different and not one second goes by that I regret either one. I think if I have a third boy he will be completely different too and amazing to watch develop into his own person. But I'm really having a hard time accepting it. Prior to today I think I was just convincing myself it was a boy as a safeguard to my heart but today I just feel like it has to be a boy and I have no idea why. And I want to believe that I'm ok with it being another boy, normally I think I am...I even really love our boy name. But it hurts so much to feel like this.
Ugh hormones. No need for anyone to respond to this I'm just kind of using it as a therapy session.
Congrats Sparkles! Baby boy will be very loved.Quote:

I hope you can get through the day ok babs and that tomorrow is a bit better day. Pregnancy hormones can be horrible. I too seem to be more tired, achy, nauseous and get upset so easily this pregnancy. I don't remember feeling this bad this early last pregnancy. I understand what you mean about your boys but also wanting a girl even though your boys are both amazing and you wouldn't swap them for the world. My DS is my world, he is so loving, has such a great little personality and is always so happy and smiling. I am so very lucky to have him and couldn't imagine life without him and I am sure if this bub is a boy he will be amazing like his brother but that still doesn't stop me wanting to have a daughter and wondering every day if I have done enough with my sway to realise that dream of a little girl.
I hope you start to feel a bit better soon and sending lots of pink dust your way.
Babs,
Just to add that you're feeling something that is totally normal.
Thanks for your kind words. It's nice to have some support. I did end up breaking down to my husband...after sex no less...and he was supportive but he just doesn't understand. He said everything is out of my control...which it is...but that still doesn't make me feel better.
I slept terribly last night including dreaming about a friend who is having a little girl. Completely random. And then I got on the scale this morning and had a mini breakdown all over again. I gain so much weight in my first trimester always and the midwives are going to yell at me I just know.
My appointment is next week and I think they'll do the bloodtest either then or at 12 weeks if all is well. If I have an answer on gender that will take away some of my anxiety but it probably won't fix my physical symptoms. I just wish I could crawl into bed all day

My boys and boy bump! I felt huge today but looking at the pic my bump looks quite small!
Your boys and your bump are just adorable! I look like I just ate too much over the Holidays... ugh. I love your boots too!Quote:

I just have to thread crash on this one! My DS4's middle name is Hann (as in Hann Solo) and his FB nickname is Solo (we don't use their real names on social media). We called our triplets the Trilogy, so it felt right to keep with the Star Wars theme a bit in naming our survivor. :)Quote:

All blue, what a beautiful picture. Your boys are adorable and so are you and your bump. What a nice family.
Sparkles, congrats on your little boy! Even though your u/s photo is kind of scary he looks like a cutie, lol.
Thank you lol.Quote:

Definitely the most unique scan pics I have ever seen, really is like the grim reaper.
My sister is freaked out by it, and fascinated and has put it on her fridge hahah.
Did anyone go out for New Year's Eve ?
I was planning to but by ten was so tired, told hubbie to go out and he was shattered to.
I went out with DH to a really nice dinner since nausea seems to be improving and then over to a friend's house. We left early because there was no way I was making it until 12. Got home and got in bed and ended up being Awake until 1:30. Today I struggled a lot. This pregnancy just feels like the flu almost all the time. But I napped and am somewhat normal again
Happy New Year everyone! Lots of beautiful babies coming this year :D
17 weeks tomorrow!! should hopefully find out next week..eeek! Excited and scared
I really think u will be hearing girl xQuote:

I'm 8 weeks today so I think he should've been able to find one and I'm probably beginning to miscarry. I just wish he'd given me more info. :-(
Hope you all have healthy and happy pregnancies, ladies and that you cherish your sweet LOs.
So sorry Erin. They should have called in an OB doc to better assist. Are you going to your regular doctor tomorrow? Really sad for you that your new year is starting out this way.Quote:

I guess I don't understand health care in other countries because in an emergency I could walk into my doctor with no appointment (during their normal business hours) and tell them what was happening and they would see me on the spot. Of course then we have urgent care or ER if after hours.
Oh Erin that is dreadful.
My sister had a big bleed at 11 weeks and actually her son will be 3 soon.
So it may be one of those unexplainable phenomena that turns out fine.
Hoping this is the case for you.
I second GirlieCat though. We can call the EPU here (early pregnancy unit) or emergency gynae ward
Both are usually at the hospital.
Really hope there is something like that for you inCanada
Erin I am hoping and praying that everything turns out ok for you and your little bub, hopefully you can get to have another scan by someone who is more experienced and they can give you more info and hopefully find a heartbeat for you. Sending big hugs, hoping you don't have to wait too long to get some better help
