Im so sorry Hakrueg that you didnt get the results your so truly longed to hear.
It’s so difficult, all the emotions plus the hormones rushing through your body, mind and heart.
I truly hope that you will slowly feel better each day. I am happy that you are on this site though, so you have us who listen to you without judging or saying those stupid cliché things.
Im really anxious too. I have to wait until 14 weeks to find out the gender, but the way things are going over here now with covid-19, it might happen that all non-medical ultrasounds will be forbidden again and we will have to wait till 20 weeks. I pray that wont happen.
I feel so guilty about thinking so much about the gender, just hoping and praying for it to be a girl all the time where I feel I should be praying for a healthy baby first. Of course I pray that this little one will stick and grow to be a healthy bouncy baby, but I would lie if I didnt pray for a healthy, bouncing baby girl in my arms in 8 months time...
It’s so stupid but I have all these thought in my head saying I have to focus on what I desire for it will help me get it (it sound really stupid I know) but I therefor don’t dare to think about another boy. Im crying right now because I feel like such a terrible person thinking that. Boys are cute and my son is the sweetest little thing in the world... why do I so desire a girl?
I know that as a child I never got to be a child. I was put in foster care at a very young age and before that was the mother of the household looking after a mother with all kinds of mental health disorders. I went from home to home but never really had a warm or nice family. Thankfully I do now. But when I have a girl, if I have a girl, I want to give her the life and the things I dreamt about:
A bow in her hair, a beautiful dress, toys to play with a mom, dad and brother who would love her, a family to grow up in.. I would braid her hair with love... she would be a loved daughter.
But like you say @hakrueg its better to think that isnt the case because maybe then It wont hurt so much... but darn, my heart wants it so bad😔

Hi Proudmom, did I miss the great news? Are you pregnant? Saw your message.
Following all of you strong woman. So exciting to read all the outcomes. Hoping to be in the next due in... topic!
Love the name💕
Im worried today... 5+4 today and i decided to take my temperature today. Last week my temperature was 37.53 - 37.76 (99.55 - 99.97) during the day and around 37.1 -37.2 (98.78 - 98. 96) first thing in the morning... today my temperature DURING the DAY was 37.23 (98.97)... so scared this is a bad sign😢
Is it normal for your temperatur to fluctuate during pregnancy?
Yes! Our first month TTC so I was so surprised and am so happy but today Im feeling a bit low due to temperature (read previous message)
Hope to see you with a bfp Soon too!!
.
Congratulations, sorry you feel worried about your temperature fluctuation. Know little about that.
I am glad you feeling lil better now! And yes name is so beautiful[emoji7]Quote:

Beautiful name!
Glad you're feeling a little better hakrueg
I've not checked mine but I would guess it will fluctuate with hormones etc, particularly a during the day temperature as so many things can impact thatQuote:

Love it! I used a unisex name for my 2nd son which I think helped me in my GD a bit :) so glad you’re starting to feel better already.Quote:

I’m only 5.5 weeks now and not overly nauseous yet so I’m sure once that hits in about a week I’ll have more aversions/cravings.
.
Haha pregnancy is a great excuse to give into those cravings! How many weeks are you hakrueg? I’m enjoying being about to tolerate everything still but I know those days are numbered!
This is my situation exactly!! I can’t say I have any cravings, really. I never did with my boys either! But for weeks now it’s just been food I can tolerate, and food I can’t even look at without gagging. And the food I can tolerate changes day by day! Last week I had a grilled cheese with mustard for three days in a row, and then the fourth day I couldn’t even stand the thought of it! [emoji23] Also, I never had aversions this strong with either of my boys. I MISS FOOD! Lol!Quote:

Your feelings are totally valid and most of us have felt the same exact way. That’s what I love about this site. I had GD so bad when I found out DS2 was a boy, and it made it 100x worse that I had no where to turn/no one to talk to about it with (other than DH). I didn’t sway with him obv but I was completely convinced he was a girl due to totally different symptoms from my first pregnancy and even vivid, recurring dreams that it was a girl. I agree it makes it that much harder when you’re almost expecting one result, and get the opposite. We are all here for you! I’m glad you’re feeling a little bit better and that is a beautiful name! [emoji178] When I was younger I wanted to be a writer and had a notebook full of stories... Elyse was a one of my favorite names for girl characters. [emoji4] Also, your sister has two girls too, right? I know she just had a girl, I think you said “another” girl? I’m just thinking with you both having girls so close in age, how awesome that will be for them to all grow up together! [emoji177] Everyone in my family had girls. Me, my younger sister, and my two younger girl cousins used to have sleepovers all the time growing up. It was great! We were honestly the best of friends. Maybe that’s something your girls will have to look forward to also growing up? [emoji4][emoji3590]
Quick update on me — I had my labs drawn on Wednesday afternoon! All my regular prenatal labs have come back already. Everything’s normal/negative and I’m not anemic, yay! Now just waiting on the NIPT results! [emoji51][emoji51] I’m in MA and they have to ship my blood literally across country to California so I know that adds some time... I’m hoping by Wednesday the latest I’ll know! Either way, if I don’t hear anything by Wednesday I’ll call the office just to make sure they’re not sitting on them. The wait is killing meeeeee!

My sway failed as well unless peekaboo is wrong. My sweet 5th son. I really thought this baby was a girl.

I don't know the reliability of peekaboo precisely, but aren't these do it your self at home kits not really reliable? I am sorry for how you must feel now.Quote:

I'm not sure, I wouldn't do it because I would always feel like "what if" which would make me have to wait until the next confirmation either way. I know they're super sensitive and can even pick up like pet DNA.
As far as cravings go- yeah mine have been weird! One day it'll be waffles and marshmallows and the next it'll be fries or sour cream. Never really anything salty or spicy which is what I always craved before. That and like protein? I don't know I remember a phase when I was pregnant with my boy where all I wanted were tuna sandwiches. Then like last night I def had an ice cream cone and a cupcake soooo.
I go for my NIPT on OCt 20 and am super nervous, but hopeful. It's hard to remain optimistic but I still am!

Aww.. that’s so cute[emoji177]Quote:

Oh that’s good, you’re hopefully through the worst of it now. I’m only 5.5 weeks so if it’s anything like my previous pregnancies I’ll be feeling nausea all day from 6 weeks which I’m not looking forward to! Did you find both of your girls pregnancies seemed similar?Quote:

How to deal with it?

This is THE CUTEST! I love it! Oh my gosh. Did you write that on the pumpkin yourself? It’s so fancy! Great job! And I know what you mean about feeling some type of way about a person who had a name/spelling you liked.. I’ve lost a couple good names along the way that way too lol! Also my back is doing so much better, thanks! [emoji3590] We took the boys to a farm today for a corn maze and pumpkin picking and it’s the most activity I’ve done since I hurt my back... all was well! I’m a bit sore now on the couch with my ice pack but its still soo much better. I finally start PT this week too on Wednesday thankfully!Quote:

Also, MyChart just trolled me so hard! I got a notification of a new test result and I was assuming it was just my HIV/syphilis as those are the only ones not back yet. But when I opened it the first word I saw was “Panorama” and my heart skipped a beat LOL — just to see this! [emoji23][emoji849]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f1ab068668.jpg

I’m getting shortness of breath, some insomnia causing extra tiredness, sweet cravings, tender breasts, dizzy spells, heightened sense of smell, I’ve had nasal congestion for a few weeks now but that’s easing.. but amazingly not much nausea at all. I’ve read 6 weeks is the magic point of when it usually hits you so that’s this coming week for me so we’ll see if I dodge a bullet but I doubt it, I’ve felt nausea in all 4 of my previous pregnancies so it will be a bit of a miracle to miss it this time!Quote:

Given the few sway opposites we’ve already potentially had I’m thinking I better start preparing myself for blue just incase. I’ve had so many girl vibes since conception but I don’t trust them now :(
Can’t wait to hear your results hotlikemexico, I have my fingers crossed for you! :fx:
I have the exact same thing. Have been having girl vibes too since we found out but scared to trust them now...
I also hope the results weren’t accurate Abi and Nishi and you both get the desired gender!
My fingers are crossed for you hotlikemexico!
I know right! When I was pregnant with my angel baby in March , Nausea did hit me badly at 6 weeks.. and with my daughter it started the same day when I got my positive pregnancy result. That was horrible , I was on medication . This time it’s not that bad however I feel like it will kick me hard within a week. Out of fear I again did the pregnancy test today and finally got a dye stealer , so I am pretty sure it’s not a chemical. Just praying this is my sticky rainbow baby. I am going for my first ultrasound on 28th oct so I know anxiety will always be there.Quote:
