You have us mob. Might be worth reminding her if she does brush you off tho, just say that it hurts to be brushed off when she understood before she got get dg. Nothing to lose by it. Then again, she might remember that pain enough to still be there for you. Xx
Thanks hun. I don't talk much about myself to my friends or family, I'm usually the listener, I even feel bad if I talk too much about me on forums LMAO So it could be a while until I even have to approach the subject.
I don't have anyone irl to talk to either. My best friend has 0 kids. My sisters got one of each straight away.
My temp dropped today :( I'm 9dpo and usually only get a 10 day lp
Ok I thought I replied to this yesterday but now can't see the reply.
My best friend recently had a little taste of GD and I'm not sure how she is doing with it now. It is something that's difficult to approach and a tricky ground to tread, even for those of us who have been there. Everyone deals with differently and it could be that she's ok with it all now and was just shocked as she was so certain that she'd have a boy.
Sorry about your temp dip.

It went back up today :)
It can be hard to bring gd up. Some people can be very defensive. A friend of mine said with her first "it better not be a boy" and he was, but when preg with her 2nd (a girl) she was talking about how she would never say anything about wanting or not wanting one or the other as long as they are ok. All I could think was - you liar!!
She said that she 'couldn't get her head around the fact she's a girl' and that she got upset when she went with her mum to buy girls stuff instead of boys. So I think I'll probably ask if she's got used to her being a girl now, that way it isn't implying anything. I also worry what people will think of me if I reveal too much, so it will be hard to ask with out letting on to my own feelings.

Thanks. Yeah I'd go with the being used to a girl thing. I don't like letting on either. I always just try to laugh off any "trying for a boy" comments. I always feel like, if I say I want a boy, then have a girl people will think I don't want a girl at all, but that's not true iykwim. Also, I feel like certain people would take pleasure in the fact I didn't get what I wanted.
I know what you mean. I always tell people that IF we do have another that at this point I'd rather have another boy as it would make life much simpler. And yes I know a couple of people that will have been happy that I didn't have a girl.
We found out today that hubby's paternal grandad actually had another child, from before he was married, so he was in fact a father of 4 boys not 3.
