Due Sept/Oct/Nov 2016

My pinterest is like 90% recipes and the few baby things I do have I have to keep in a private folder. I have been thinking about making us our own t-shirts (DH, the boys and I) to save a few bucks. I'm thinking about the obvious for the boys.. the whole big brother, big brother again thing but revealing baby's gender... like "Big brother to my brother/sister due Oct 9" or something like that. My boys will destroy them in now time so if I can save money AND get exactly what I want- BONUS!! As for DH and I... I am torn on DH's. Part of me wants the "Oop's we did it again" but this wasn't an oops so probably not. So, he'll prob get something similar to what I am thinking about doing for myself. It's a little snarky maybe but we are planning to wear them were there will be dozens of ppl asking the exact same questions so I was thinking of making a shirt that says "Yes, I'm pregnant. Yes, it was planned. Yes, this will be our last. We're having a __boy/girl__. We are Due Oct 9th." What do you think? Too attitudinal? I'm just thinking, this way most of the obvious questions are answered and I only have to field the less obvious ones.

I'm not sure about Clomid. Had I not read that it sways on here I would have said none. I took it to get DS1 and DS2 (who was also a failed IG sway). I got DD with no meds and one month if LE diet a couple months before we were planning to start trying. I got DS3 with no meds and no swaying (he was a drunken wedding night oops). This pregnancy was also med free after 6 months of LE diet and at least one is a girl. The majority I know who took Clomid had boys. Same with Femara. I don't know any of the research behind why they are supposed to sway pink though.

I love to sew and embroider. I just don't have much time for it. I have a bunch of ideas I want to do for the twins, but have a hard time imagining any of it will get done. I also have big dreams of making a few maternity tops, but haven't even bought the pattern yet. We're having some work done on the house right now so my sewing room is in chaos and unusable anyway. I can cut out fabric downstairs on the dining room table or floor, but that's it unless I go to DH's store and use the machines there. I usually have a bunch of other errands to run on my child-free day though, so that doesn't work either. Hopefully I can get something figured out.

I'm glad to hear you know people who have had boys. I was on 150mg clomid this time and it's making me nervous about having another girl. I had a girl on clomid in 2013.

Does anyone know how much Clomid increases your chances for girl? It was my one and only cycle on it.

Yes, clomid sways girl. According to Atomic it's pretty much grade A sway material. I was also on my first cycle back on it but don't know if it sways more the longer you are on it or not.

You know what is weird? Since day one I have pretty much accepted that this baby is a boy. But lately I catch myself thinking "she" or "her" instead of "he" or "him". Like you, I think it's because (once upon a time) we tried so hard for a girl and that deep down I am still hoping. So for the first time this pregnancy I'm worried about disappointment. Don't get me wrong, a healthy bundle in blue is still wanted and loved just as a pink bundle is, so it's not like I'll be bawling my eyes out over a test result that says boy... but even the thought of so much as thinking "darn :/ " bothers me because, as much as I am dying to know, gender is unimportant in the big picture... we just want a healthy little bundle. I hope you get your girl! How much longer till you find out?

I belonged to a small Clomid group on Facebook and out of 18 women only me and one other woman had girls and it was when we took nothing. Most of the women had PCOS though, and that sways boy. I took Clomid because there was a theory that I might be releasing immature eggs due to my clotting disorder. The other woman only had one ovary. I've never paid attention to what the sex ratios were in other Clomid groups to see if there was a trend more toward one or the other.

I already had my first appt. my next appt. is the 7th and she said we'd talk about an ultrasound then. I'll have to ask her about a dating ultrasound and if she normally does them. My harmony results should be in any day now...I am waiting to announce my pregnancy until then bc this pregnancy has been so different it makes me a little nervous. :worry:

How long have you had to wait for results so far? My appt for testing is next week and I'm trying to figure out how long I'll be waiting for results. I am figuring a couple weeks, but don't really know.

I've been waiting for a little over a week now. They said up to two weeks but I was hoping it would be sooner bc I wanted to do a reveal on Easter but they weren't back yet so we waited for the Facebook reveal. Our close family and friends already know bc I've been so sick but we haven't told more than that yet. I'm starting to have a bit of a belly pop out now, especially after eating, so I won't be able to hide it much longer, or I can just let people think I'm getting chubby, ha-ha, that could make for some entertaining conversation. ;)

Hahaha, lol. I'm the same way. I bloat right after eating, which is weird considering I eat next to nothing. I've been monitoring my calorie intake and with a lot of work and some not-so-great high calorie choices I avg just over 1,000 calories a day. I'm just not hungry AT ALL most of the time and when I do eat I get full quickly. Makes me wonder if I'll be able to eat at all once baby is big enough to be putting pressure on my stomach. I've always had trouble eating late in the third tri... judging by right now I may not be able to eat at all this time. I may have to go full liquids, but whatever happens it's worth it :)

Two- I won't find out gender until May 13th! Haha long wait. I would be ecstatic to have a boy as well, healthy baby is my main goal, but my heart has longed for a girl as long as I can remember. I never pictured my life without having a little girl in it. I was on Clomid for that one cycle but we also were dtd every 3 days so that kinda discourages me from thinking it could be a girl. Who knows.
