Good luck for tomorrow HB, try not to worry I'm sure you will see your little girl on there and I can't wait to see the pics. :)
It is totally crazy how the stats are working out on this group. Even if everyone else due in April has a girl now the stats are still very high towards boy. From what I understand the chance is always pretty much 50:50 whether you have a girl or a boy, ever so slightly higher boy. When you have two boys there is a slightly greater chance you will have a girl next as mixed families are more common than single gender families. Atomic may correct me on that but from the research I did that is what I found. So when swaying to try and undo any of the normal boy sways us boy mummies have in our usual routine I would still have thought that there would have been more girls that there are.
I have to say my whole belief in the impact in swaying has been massively shaken by this, I'm not convinced it has any major impact at all. I'm not just talking about my experience as I know I wasn't on the LE diet for very long but I know others did and they still have an opposite.
In fact pretty much everything would indicate I was having a girl this time from old wives tales etc - my earliest BFP by about 7 days, horrible morning sickness, spots and horrible hair, anterior placenta, baby usually on the left, totally different cravings from when I had the boys, loss in appetite... The Chinese gender predictor said girl, everything I did pointed towards girl and still I have another boy on the way?!
The stats truly are unbelievable for this group! I'd love to see what Atomic thinks of it all and if she can shed any light for those of you who are hoping for one more try in the future.
NeedPink - I totally understand how you are feeling, I'm managing to cope ok with my gd but it still hit me much harder than I thought it would. We've told people and generally the comments have been better than I thought but I've still had ones like - "lucky you're not a girly girl' (whatever that was supposed to mean as I think I am) and 'oh no another boy!'. People can be so insensitive!
I'm also clinging to any bit of hope I can that maybe they got it wrong, but I know in my heart of hearts that it was definitely a boy on the scan and it would have to be a miracle if the pictures were misleading in some way. I'm obsessing over wrong gender ultrasound pictures and even hoping maybe there is a twin hiding in there somewhere that is a girl. Totally crazy but we all have to deal with it in our own ways and of course we love our babies regardless, it doesn't mean the hurt of not having a much longed for son or daughter is any less.
I get another scan at 32 weeks so I'm hoping by then I will have accepted it is a boy, I know I couldn't go through another pregnancy again after this. The whole gd thing has totally spoiled it and to have another child wouldn't be fair when all I would really want was a daughter. xxxx
Sorry so many of you are still feeling sick and horrible, really hope it has passed soon so you can enjoy Christmas. My appetite has totally gone and I feel horribly uncomfortable if I have a normal size meal which probably explains why I haven't put much weight on.
Yeah everyone I know due in April and May- so far there are 4 boys and no girls. Still waiting results for myself and 4 others. Seems likes the boys are strong.
When I was pregnant with my DS2- I knew 7 others who were preggo and they all (except one) had girls.
Other than on this thread I know two people due in april and they are both having girls.
I agree as well! With two solid failed girl sways I chose not to sway again. If I'm really carrying my girl I'm going to put money on it that the stress the swaying put on me caused me to have boys or the fact that my husband was out of town the 5 days before my ovulation day?!?!
My sister swayed boy with her first baby last year and got the first girl in the family. Go figure! :shrug: :)
Hey ladies! More boys huh? Geez I really do wonder if there is just something in the air. I am soooo tired today, i want to curl up with a warm fuzzy blanket and sleep all day.
I am getting nervous for my scan on monday, I just hope the baby is healthy!
I just spoke to a friend of mine (due in May) who just found out she's having her third boy. I was telling her about all the boys on here and she said that on another community board (not gender related) there is an overwhelming amount of girls. I guess they are the ones balancing out the population LOL!
Can't wait to see a pic of your gorgeous girl HBP, are you taking the boys with you? x
Needpink, im sorry you didn't get your girl. I just can't work out whats happening in this group. Makes me very nervous to find out next week :worry:

Spoke with a couple of friends of mine who are both due in April, and both are having boys - one after two girls and one after five!
