And really? It's not more well known (outside of us gender crazy ladies) because of jealousy?!? At the same time there's a gal on IG who was pretty good at predicting, Alsestis ... I think she was somewhere around 70% on people's scans. I remember she guessed girl on Babydes's early scan and she did end up with a girl. So maybe there is something to it? Not as good as nub theory IMO but still something to obsess over, and we all need that :)
I tried to find the early scans from my other DDs but they're in storage still. We move in 2 weeks so I'll probably dig them out at some point; maybe I carry all my DD's with a right sided placenta! Who knows?
I would love the u/s to be wrong but I don't know ... I didn't get any shots of the gender bc I didn't want to have DH find them and be like, what?!?! You found out?!?! So since my scan was on the DL I only had her tell me gender, not give me a pic ... she showed me though and I definitely didn't see a penis! I really had my hopes up though .. the Ramzi thing, how much my body changed from swaying, and lots of other OWT had me thinking boy was a real possibility for us this time. Oh well ... I'm getting past it and really doing SO much better lately. I have a scan on 10/24 and will be totally checking out the goods even though we aren't going to "find out" then. I figure there's maaaaaaaybe a 2% chance that girl was wrong at the elective scan, and wouldn't that be the greatest birth surprise ever if she was :)
MFC I'm on here every day but mostly post on other threads; coming back to this one isn't the easiest for me bc it takes me back to when I still had a shot, KWIM? This thread makes it hard for me to move on... but when I see a post pop up it does make me want to wander over and see what y'all are up to! And I stalk looking BFPs :) Hoping Clomid gets things going for you next cycle! And FWIW I have a good friend who had 2 boys on Clomid! Anyhow, I was really happy to see you come back so will definitely be sticking around and cheering you on. I hope your DS gets his baby brother!
