Pretty awesome that in place of a dream is actually another not yet realised dream but one that will bring you unlimited happiness!!
Aft, congratulations on getting a boy, its certainly surreal getting your desired gender! Are we the only two so far that have? And am I the only one so far in the whole group having a girl? It's hard to keep track!
So many mixed emotions but the overriding one is joy for all these wonderful new babies! Congratulations everyone!!!
Thanks Tree, yes you are the only one so far. We've not had great success with the pink sways. I'm the first Clomid opp in this group though. Keeps hitting me in waves, was okay to start with but just feeling weepy & emotional. So glad I have time to accept it & get excited! I want to find the perfect name, but am tired of boys names :( A lot of nice ones have been stolen by the girls!Quote:

Dreamofpink...so with you on the stolen name deal....I am so happy that DH and I had our second best boy name in the wings for the newbie. It softened the blow for me, so I hope that you can locate a name that stirs up joy just in its mention!! ((((hugs))) Your sway was awesome and I tell you that the only male swimmer in the bunch made his way through. ((((hugs))))Quote:

Dream I posted on the other thread. So sorry you didn't hear pink. Hugs. Xx
Dream I agree with ladybugs, you swayed your heart out, but we can't forget the role our DH's play, if they have 99% boy sperm, then there isn't much our sway can do, you know? I mean swaying works I truly believe that, but probably more effectively when a dh has 50/50 boy/girl sperm, then of course maternal condition would attract one of the other. You did everything you could with the information available at the time.Quote:

Big hugs
Ps apparently the due date group before us has had amazing success. I haven't had a chance to verify that but someone ,mentioned it.
Dream - Congrats on Ds3! So sorry you didn't hear pink today. HUGS! My Ds3 is just so gorgeous, I honestly can't stop looking at him sometimes. I know you'll feel the same! And, it sounds like you're going to have one more shot? Exciting!
Aft - Yay!!!!!! Congrats! So happy for you! Little boys love, love, LOVE their mamas!
AFM - Had my 8-wk checkup today, and there was my sweet little gummy bear with a heartbeat just flickering away! 160+ beats/minute. So happy! Baby appeared on the screen to be implanted on the left (transvaginal ultrasound)...so we'll see! Also, my doc offered MaterniT21 for me. My appt for blood draw and ultrasound is Aug. 9th. So I should know gender about a week later! OMG!
You are just days away from knowing gender!!!! Congrats on your little bean on the screen!!!!Quote:

If Ramzi is true, this is another boy!

So I compared my pics to my other 3 boys, and it looks identical to DS2's pic...but my placenta with him was anterior (not right or left, just right in front). DS1 & DS3's early ultrasound showed baby right in the middle. Sooo, really unsure what to think. Was Ramzi accurate for you ladies?
Meeks - Doc said it would only be $200 IF my insurance didn't cover it. Not sure if she really knows, as it's actually done through a high-risk doc that they refer people to. Maybe I should ask first!!
Rainbow-DS1 at 6wks was on the left. Scan done abdominally.
DS2 at 7wks was on the right. Scan done vaginally.
3.0 at 7 wks is on the right side. Scan done abdominally.
So if you reverse the scan no matter how the picture is taken then DS2 should be a girl! Hmmmm leaves a lot of room for doubt! Hope that helps ease your mind a bit! Glad baby is looking good with a strong HB! Congrats!
Hey can anyone else that's still early feel their bump yet?
I have been showing for a few weeks but this morning when I lay on my back I could feel a distinct grapefruit sized hard ball quite high up (like half way between my belly button and pelvic bone), I thought it was supposed to stay down and hidden by the pelvic bone until 12+ weeks? I was def my bump and I had an empty bladder thanks to being up all night with a sick ds1. I am 9.5 weeks.
Not worried just fascinated! No wonder I had to pull out my maternity jeans.
I am also feeling the odd flutter of movement.
Omg!! Congrats girl!! Wowee I'm sure your excited, I know I would be!!! :) I'm so happy for you and your family!!Quote:

P.S. I may be gone for a little while...going on vacation and need to unplug with the fam for a bit. :) Will catch up soon!
Myrainbowgirl my early scan showed the baby to be boy side. But I have a Doppler and found the heartbeat just to the left of my middle. I figured at such an early gestation the baby and placenta are all next to eachother so that was a reliable indication of implantation... I wasn't sure if I believed in Ramzi, it's hard to tell with all the opposing research but then that's all been done by lay people analysing their scan pics with no clue of the angle the pic was taken (apparently this makes a huge difference) and whether it was flipped or not. There was no Doppler research at all, but for me, as I said I found the heartbeat on the left, and sure enough I'm having a girl.
It would be interesting to know if there was anything to the Doppler theory, my prediction is it would be more than 50% reliable if done at an early enough gestation but not by much so plenty of room for error.
The Ramzi thread on ig had a lot of opposites. I wouldn't worry. As far as I know vaginal scans are not flipped but your doc can choose to flip scans to see different things so the only way to know 100% what side is to ask.
I don't think your chances are any less of having a girl so don't worry.
Thanks I know it's sssssoooo exciting I really didn't think it was possible, I know you are brewing blue tooQuote:

I've been thinking about the whole telling people thing. I think my plan is to tell everyone we will find out at the 20w scan, but have a sneaky scan at 16 weeks so we have a few weeks to process it all before telling people.
Dh's mum has been so at me to have a girl, that if its a boy I feel like announcing to her by saying "well we are happy, but you probably won't be, it's a BOY". But then I know I'm not that gutsy in real life. In my head its such an awesome comeback for all the pressure she adds. Sigh.
I am also too terrible a liar to hide it for long once we know!
Ps with Ramzi I'm not convinced on the accuracy either given that there can be confusion during scans. I asked my doc which side I ovulated from and which side it was implanted and she said left for both. The pic she gave me shows it on the left too so I guess she didn't flip my vaginal scan. However intelligender said boy so who knows!!
First think me and DH did when we got bk was tell everyone it's to exciting not to, plus I think I would have burst keeping it secret lolQuote:

You definitely have to ask the tech what side it is for sure as you can never tell by the picture because you'll never know if they flipped it or not. Also, ramzi wrote in his theory that if a baby implanted on the opposite side to what he thinks is supposed to happen (so girl implants on right instead of left) it has a 50-75% chance of birth defects or chromosome problems... which I REALLY don't believe is true - especially from all the opposites I've seen and no one mentioning problems! The whole things seems a little weird so I wouldn't worry!
Thanks for all the input, ladies.
Would love to hear from you girl moms, too!
Tree - Was it on the boy side in the pic, or on the screen? Mine was very high on the left of the screen, which in theory should be my right side. She printed out two pics, & they were mirror images of each other! But on the screen itself, baby was on the left. I think that's why I feel so discouraged! But if the screen can be flipped, too, then I should probably just relax! Well, I guess I should relax regardless, but it's hard!
Right on the scan and the pic. And I ovulated from the right. But as I said found heartbeat on the left. Scan lady said she couldn't tell which side the baby was actually on.Quote:

Smiley awesome news! Bet she is right
Just booked an early gender ultrasound for 16 weeks:-) I can't believe how impatient I am lol!
I was reading the birth notices in our local paper looking for boy names and saw a big one which had 4 boys first then this was a girl they thanked dr potter in USA for helping to have her ! My family friends would be ok about high tech but I wouldn't tell strangers as some still believe its 'playing god' that's why it's illegal here in Australia . I'd do it if I had the money though !
LOL i love it! It is so horrible that we are having to think about how we are going to break the news to other people when it is only us, our DH and our children that we should really have to think about.Quote:

It was a boy and i never heard anyone say anything other than congrats to her. She is amazing upbeat about life in general and is ecstatic with her baby but i just thought it was sad she had to prepare herself and others this way.
We found out at 16 weeks that ds3 was a boy. I couldn't bare the comments do told everyone we were team green. When we announced his birth, he was so beautiful and had a lovely name so all the comments were really positive. No one irl bar my best friend knows how much I want a girl. I enthuse every day over my boys and say I'd love more boys (which is true, would just like a girl in the mix). I think if you are really positive about it being a boy then no one can really make any negative comments or they look like a tube. I think as soon as you act a bit apologetic or defensive about it people can be a bit more negative, so I would just be as proud and as happy as you can be x
Smiley13 I was the same booked my scan so long ago!
Ooo ladies I have 4 more sleeps to go till I find out who was chosen to be tucked away inside of me! Rather nervous Ive had alot of boy guesses but my twin thinks its a girl! All shall be revealed on Thursday! Eeek..
We were discussing yet another old wives tales how we carried our boys or girls! What was the case for you ladies how did you carry your boys or girls?? We're your belly shapes any different, or same??
DS1 was quite low, I never felt a kick in the ribs ever! DS2 was a lot higher and I was always getting rib kicks! I had complete opposite pregnancies so for me I just can't go by symptoms anymore! My friend had a boy first and is due with a girl any day now and both have been so low.. the girl has been probably even lower! From all the friends who have had kids I feel like this is one of the least true OWT's! Hope you hear blue!!!!!!! Can't wait to hear your news :)Quote:
