I completely understand the anxiety of gender desire mixed with just wanting Bub to be healthy. I just want this Bub to keep growing and be healthy but that doesn't stop the anxiety over this Bub being another boy and never having my little girl as this is definitely our last baby - DH is likely to book in to get the snip before Bub even born just to make sure!
I totally understand. There's a good chance this is our last too, as there's no way I'd go through all of this again for a third :/ And I definitely still get anxious when I think about this being a girl -- I just think until at least 14 weeks or so, I'm just still anxious about this baby making it! I wish this whole process could be easier. It's hard to be a loss mom -- but boy is it hard to be a loss mom with GD!Quote:

Abc I feel this is your girl too! [emoji4]ahh I’m
So excited for you! I prayed baby girl for you!! Eek so excited for all of you in here! So excited for yours and TP’s rainbow babies!!! I’m so excited to watch both of your journeys!!
I had so much anxiety with my ultrasounds too. I had only ever had two transvaginal ultrasounds and they were not good experiences for me, not until Emmalyn!! [emoji4] The lord finally answered my prayers for her and I know he’s doing the same for you!!

Thanks Mommy :) I'm so grateful for all your prayers and support over these many months. Thank you for praying!! Even my DS1 has started praying lately for a "girl baby" (he's only 5!). We haven't pushed or encouraged that - he just really wants a sister! So I really hope this one sticks, and that it's my girl! As you know from my PMs after the last loss I didn't even know if we'd try again - I was so heartbroken. So praying and hoping we don't have to go through that again.Quote:

Because he got his baby sister he wanted!I believe this is finally your answered prayer!!Quote:

It's sooooo sweet when they pray for baby siblings, isn't it? My DS1 loved his little brother from the moment we brought him home - I know he would love having another sibling! DS2 may take longer to adjust to the idea LOL!!
Guys, my test line is now the same as the control at 12 dpo. This is starting to freak me out! Obviously there's the possibility of twins (which is even more possible as I was told I'd ovulate 2 eggs). But then my mind goes to what if it's a chromosome problem causing the high hcg or something like a molar pregnancy. Ugggghh why I don't care about these stupid tests so much?!
TP how far were you when you had your first scan? It was earlier than 6 weeks, right? Mommy you had an early one too yea? I think I want to ask for the earliest scan that they will give me!!

A dark line is GOOD! Don't fret!!! Honestly I think it's because of that little bit of science saying girls tends to have more HCG early! I wouldn't be jumping to a molar pregnancy, especially because those are sooo rare! I think you should push for an early scan just for your wellbeing! My first one was 5w5d and I'm so glad I went in when I did! In fact, I felt better after my 5w5d one than my 6w6d one lol (I think because I was so scared of the 6-8 week period from my previous losses).Quote:

It is sweet, when they are so involved!Quote:

I had my first scan at and was only measuring 5 weeks 6 days should’ve been 6 weeks 2 days, they only seen a sac the first time. I was scared. They had me come back the following week and there was this sweet little blob measuring only 2 days behind from where I should’ve been and her little heartbeat fluttering away and was the most beautiful sight and a shed a couple of tears. Things were finally looking up:

Thanks for the reassurance ladies! :) DH just looked at the test and goes "Yea the test line is actually darker than the control". :worry: I know I shouldn't let my mind go to something like a molar as those are so rare but it's hard after the past year to think things are actually going right!! Funny thing is with my 3 m/c's I was so stressed out that my tests were not darkening enough or fast enough (and with the 1st and 2nd m/cs, that really was a bad sign as my hormones weren't doing what they should), and now that it's darkening SO fast I'm freaking out just the same LOL!!! I'm trying to remind myself that b/c I got a BFP at 8 dpo, the bean must have implanted very early and thus that's likely why it's so dark already.
I will ask them on Tuesday when I go in for blood work when I can do the first scan and will tell them that I'm anxious and would like to do one as soon as I can. Unfortunately I will only be 4 weeks on Tuesday so even if I had one at 5 1/2 weeks that feels like a long time away!
TP - I sooooooooo hope this is your boy (and still think you have a great shot at it being so!) but you are right that no matter what if you're DD is wanting a baby this much then she will LOVE having a sibling - boy or girl!! As bad as I have had GD over the last couple of years (and I had a lot of it with DS2), it really has been the coolest thing watching my boys together. I honestly feel like DS1 was so meant to have a little brother and I feel like they really will be lifelong buddies. They are very different, and they fight all the time now (almost always over toys!), but they are just so, so cute together. IF your baby is girl I know your DD will love having a sister and it will be really fun to watch them together (and they'll fight too LOL!).
BUT doesn't matter because you're going to have a boy!!! :)
