I was just checking the thread, b/c I thought I remembered your scan being tomorrow and you not being sure if you want to find out!

Have you thought about it anymore?

I'm still feeling so conflicted on finding out during ours next week. DH and I have asked his mom to stay with the kids so we'll be at the scan alone. Part of me really hopes I can tell on my own (because of a penis waving in the breeze at me.........) and part of me just really doesn't want to know. DH still wants his envelope to take to the office, but I'm not sure if he plans to look at it or not.

I never trust mama's intuition and just feel so unsure on if I want to know or not. :nails:

I'm not much help, am I!!!?

My u/s is tomorrow and I still don't really know for sure whether to find out! I think I'm going to ask the tech not to say anything, but not avoid the area...like you I'm hoping to see obvious boy parts, but I think I'm just hoping too much for that to happen. We will prob do that then if we don't see anything, have her write it in an envelope and then we can open it when we're ready...mostly because I really do need to know to get rooms planned out and there is a lot of work to do...
When is your gender scan??

I think the envelope is a good compromise because even if you do choose to look, you get to do it on your time, and privately - no worrying about getting emotional in front of the tech.

Mine is next week, the 11th at 10am ET.

I'll admit I've been watching tons of scans on youtube, both boys and girls, around where I'm at in pregnancy. I always like the ones I can't tell on the best, lol.

I will be thinking of you tomorrow <3

Funny, after reading this I went to YouTube and watched a bunch of videos! In so many of the boy ones it was sooo obvious...I sure hope mine is like that, but knowing my luck it won't be :/ I'm also going to have dh video the u/s with his phone as my dr. office has a big tv up on the wall where the screen is shown, so a better view. Maybe we'll just take that and analyze the pieces to death instead of having her tell us up front or in an envelope! Don't know...we'll see how things go tomorrow. I'll let everyone know!

To find out or not find out, the evil dilemma! I found out with 3 of mine, the only one we didn't find with was dd1 because we truly didn't care. I don't know if finding out with dd3 helped or hurt GD wise. Advice wise I basically got nothin' lol

With your u/s with Charlie, did you notice boy parts right away? My u/s with my ds was so long ago and I didn't know what I was looking at that it wouldn't help me to know if it would be obvious to me...I'm hoping that if I don't see anything obvious I won't have her say anything, but just tell her not to avoid the area so we can look for ourselves. Guess I have wishful thinking that I will see the obvious or if I don't I can tell myself the boy parts were possibly hiding! ahhh...I am a wreck right now...I just really truly want a brother for my son...:/

The tech had to really look at first but then he spent the rest of the u/s flashing us. I went back through the DVD frame by frame (I'm a psycho like that lol) and there are a quite a few times where you can't see anything. If I'd been trying to figure it out I'd a thought girl and that we'd seen cord a few times. I'm still in disbelief he's a boy though lol

That's totally how I would be too...sometimes I think just because I want something it's not going to happen. And there are quite a few other things in my life where I have succeeded doing something one time then have never been able to replicate it....almost as though I can never do the same thing twice. I'm like that with cooking..the first time I make a recipie is the best. When I was in school I played trumpet and I made what was called All-district band the first year I tried out then the next 6 years I came in just below the cut off :/ Same thing with piano...I played in my first competition and came in first then never placed again. I think of artists who are considered "one hit wonders" and just wonder if things are like that with me. Not that I don't love my girls, because I do...just that I can't replicate a result that I get first if that makes sense. I think I'm rambling...sorry!

I feel the same way. This is part of why I would never sway again, I have no faith that I could get another boy. Even if we wanted another one I know I'd go in knowing it was a girl.

Hi .. I'm new to here but would love all your advice on swaying blue. Did you all get the son you so wanted. I would love to heat stories... How many girls before you got your son. I'm going to do a personalized plan with AS but Amy tips/ advice beforehand would be great. I have three girls x x

TTC5 is the woman you want to talk to! Four girls, and finally had her little Prince! She just had him so she's still in the hospital.

Hey Blueplease, I also have three girls and thanks to AS and the advice here I have an almost 7 month old baby boy. My advice is read up on how to sway girl, find where you are most girl friendly and focus on those areas. I have a perfect girl diet so I focused heavily on the HE diet and increasing the cm I don't normally have. I didn't focus on ph, temping or the moon but by luck I did conceive on the full moon with accidental perfect timing. I do fully believe that the diet was the most important part though.

Blueplease, exactly as 3pink1blue above says, diet and supps first and mumbo jumbo just for fun ok:) Atomics plans are ace! My advice is, give yourself time for the changes to happen, don't just jump on the 1st egg that comes along lol, pick a month to start proper attempting and go from there, best of luck xx

Thanks ELP! Still not sure if I want to find out. What I'm really hoping for is a nice obvious penis to just be there, lol, without the tech having to say anything. Otherwise we're going with the envelope. I'm so nervous!

Last night I had weird dreams where I needed to take DH to the ER (I have no idea why, he was chatting and seemed fine, lol!!) and at the same time I was trying to get him in the ER I was demanding to know where I needed to go for an u/s. And it was snowing. Pregnancy dreams are so strange. No gender clues in the dream though, never did get my ultrasound :p

I think it is a great idea to get a personalised plan.

I have two girls and am currently pregnant with a boy, I highly recommend the HE diet and preseed

What are pregnancy gender dreams supposed to be--the gender you wnt or don't want? I have had both. All the girl dreams are basically me being disappointed and having GD. Terrible. I guess my mind is just getting prepared.

Skrimpy, I hope you see that willy waving in the breeze! :)

Yahmama, let us know what you see today. FX for you!

I agree that the personalized plan is a great service, esp. since you get to ask questions too :)

And I'm a huge fan of the HE diet too! More good advice.

I dunno what they're supposed to be. Mine are all weird anyways - some I know gender, some I don't. I always hope that the dreams with teh right gender are right, and the wrong gender are just fears coming out. But who knows. I've had one dream that I feel was a real, telling gender dream. The night before one of my scans I dreamed my belly became kind of translucent and I could see my baby curled up perfectly, including gender. The next day the scan showed that same gender. I never trust any of the others.

I've dreamed of girls, boys, and one kitten...

I've had mostly boy dreams this go 'round, which is I hope intuition, but I think just wishful dreaming.

At the beginning in profile I THOUGHT I saw something, but still wasn't sure, and she asked if we wanted to know and I said, "yes, but could you just show us the area and just let me see what's there without saying anything?" and it was really clear! Attachment 4456

Congrats yahmama!! I am so happy for you. I know you didn't sway, but what did you do timing/frequency wise, if you don't mind me asking?

I was told that the very first dream you have of gender "while knowingly pregnant" IS usually correct. Im my case..Before we had DD, I was having major baby fever. I was so ready to be prengnant. I drempt of both boys and girls. When I got my BFP, 2 days later I drempt of a little girl about 2 weeks old...Looked exactly like DD did when she was born. It was un real. Then I got pregnant with my HOPEFUL GD SON....I drempt both boy and girls the entire time we planned the pregnancy. Got my BFP and about 2 weeks later drempt about a 3 month old boy. I have them both now...DD is 3 and DS is 3 months. It's crazy. I beleive in dreams 100%. Also, after I had my first initial dream of each gender...i drempt about both genders the rest of my pregnancy.

We did only 1 attempt on O day after a 4 day abstinence. Nothing else was a "boy" factor since I stopped swaying except I had gained about 10 lbs from being depressed about the losses. FX for you xx
