Great job HGmama, huge congrats!!! Must be so relieving to know your sway/luck/wishing had worked and now you can enjoy your :XX:bump.

I see people craving sweets, and other craving salty...
Anyone else craving EVERYTHING? I want a cheeseburger, but then I was a brownie, but the I want chips...
And then I want a burger all over again.
Im worried Im sooo hungry all the time...

Lol Happymommy!! My cravings had been all of the place. I’ve been craving beef and pork which I stopped eating over 18 years ago when I was in the 9th grade! I have never craved it with any other pregnancy. I’ve wanted a whopper from Burger King a few weeks ago then it was a pepperoni pizza then I wanted a bologna sandwich. DH just laughs when I tell him about my cravings and then offers to go get it. I always tell no that it would probably make me sick because I haven’t eaten that stuff in so long.
Anyone trying any old wives tales to predict gender?
I'll probably do baking soda test in another week, I know it's baseless but last pregnancy it predicted correctly when I did it around week 13, so I'll do it just for fun. The other old wives tale that I do is dreams, but this pregnancy I've had both boy dreams and girl dreams.
Huge congrats !!!!!!!!!Quote:

I eat like 7 wings with a big plate of veggies hahaha and if you saw how small my meals normally are, you would think I was crazy :P while not being pregnant, I weigh a pathetic 46kg and have a very hard time eating decent sized meals.... so to be able to eat that much feels crazy hahaha and surprisingly as soon as I start eating the chicken, it eases my morning sickness lol so bizarre.
Anyways, I have had another little scare, I am 13 weeks today and when I went to the loo last night I wiped and there was a small amount of pink mucus on the paper, and each time I have gone to the toilet today (maybe 4 times) I have had this light pink/brownish mucus... it is truly freaking me out. I have a Dr's appoint booked for Tuesday so will just have to see how it goes... the only thing I can think of that might be the cause is that this week roughly lines up with when I would normally have my periods... is it possible my body is just having a bit of a spaz or am I just grasping at straws here?
My last pregnancy I had brown discharge at 5 weeks and then again at almost 13 weeks. Luckily just a couple days after the brown discharge started the second time I happened to have a gyn appointment. I told the doctor I had a small amount of brown discharge and he told me that's perfectly normal and nothing to work about, and that baby is fine and now over a year old.Quote:

Weeks later my US showed a healthy fetus.
Hey everyone. I'm not ready to join yet because I just got my bfp last week and I'm quite afraid of things not working out as planned. I can't consider myself pregnant until I see good numbers and a heartbeat. My doctor won't even see me until several weeks from now. I may go to my family practitioner, this week, to get a blood test to at least confirm that this is anything.
I stopped my diet and fiber and I'm extra careful about my folic acid. Exercise isnt continuing for now because my ovary is sore and swollen, a cyst I presume. It's a normal in my life. What I would love to hear from you guys, is how you went from diets to regular eating. My stomach is shot. I'm in so much pain. I was pretty strict for several months and i don't know how to get back to things. And the worst part of everything is i have no one to talk to. Majority of the people i know have strong feelings against me having more kids. Not their business, but they don't keep quiet about it. And it's so early, i can't tell people because i don't tell before i know we are talking about something real. Untelling people is the worst. Been there. Kinda lonely and terrible stomach pain.... from food.

Mom25boys... sending you all my sticky pink dust and I really hope this is it for you...
People really are nosy sometimes. Its your life and you deserve to make your own decisions.
Every child is a blessing and some people are just not that fond of the whole baby process like others

@MrsEnglish - thanks for telling me your experience with spotting, its so scary when it happens and it catches you off guard. But your experience gives me a bit of hope. I have my Dr's appoint tomorrow so I will get him to check things over.
@Mom25boys - Thanks for posting, its totally fine if you just wait til your ready and confident before you join, we'll be here :) but you are very welcome to chat with us ladies and ask any questions you like. As far as the diet goes, I didnt do a very strict sway, so it was very easy for me to go back to my normal way of eating, especially when the hormones kicked in and I was extra hungry! So I suppose my experience isnt very helpful to you lol sorry xo Well you are sooo very welcome here to chat and vent and ask whatever questions you like, we are all here for each other sharing the same experience. Consider this your safe space :)
Thank you. It's scary because I have 5 boys. And girl or not, I want a healthy baby. Obviously I would be so incredibly happy, but I know that my chances so far have been the same. I did crazy sways at one time with overdosing on aspartame and calcium and cranberry. Those two ended in MC. Stopped swaying and had 2 healthy pregnancies.Quote:

I don't know why people think they can just say whatever. I love my boys. Yes, I would absolutely adore a little girl, but we don't always get what we wish for. If I see another penis flopping around on the US, I will be devastated, but not surprised. And I will accept it and do my best to pull myself together and love my 6th. If I didn't think I could get over GD, I wouldn't have tried again. But I will need time to cry. But that baby will never know.
I'm starting to get a little more excited, as the dollar test came back + and I got a smiley on my opk. AF is due Thursday so I'm going to still be hopeful but cautious.
Thanks for the warm welcome :)

First of all: thank you for having more kids, I don't know what country you're in, assuming US, and we don't want to have the population problem that countries like Japan and some of Europe have, where their birth rate is too low. US is borderline hovering around the replacement rate, and it's getting more in style to choose to be childfree, so IMO you are doing all of us a service.Quote:

3rd of all: I did not really succeed at dieting in the first place, so it was no issue for me to stop. Your description really worries me though that it hurts you. I wish you would see a clinical nutritionist. Google "refeeding syndrome". If you can't afford to or can't get an appointment soon, here's what I recommend: make slow gradual improvements on what you were eating. If for three months you ate 1200 calories of white bread and jelly beans, then do a few days of eating 1300 calories with of white bread and jelly beans with one slice of wheat bread. Then add half an apple. Then add one spoonful of peanut butter... Slowly, slowly work your way up to a healthy diet. Even if you have to lose weight for a few weeks, it should be okay (not ideal but okay).
Best wishes to you!
Thanks for that :) I'm in the US. I didn't know we were having problems here too. I just figure I can do it, I'm a good mom, why not. And these ppl can all mind their own business. I already asked my husband if he can be with me when I tell people. Because i cant handle their expressions and comments. I thought I could but every time it got worse and worse.Quote:

Thanks again

yea its so hard to deal with people's opinions about your family, its surprising how openly critical they think they can be :( Even after having 2 boys I got all those comments and you already are vulnerable in that area, and they just have no clue what it feels like. It sounds like you have a very realistic but productive way to deal with potentially hearing boy again, I know its so hard, but going into it with the realisation it could be another boy is how every pink swayer should do it, but its sooo hard.Quote:

I had my Dr appoint this avo and omg.... so damn stressful!!! I explained straight up that I had had a small amount of light pink mucus throughout sunday and monday most times when I went to the loo and he straight away wanted to find bubs heart beat on the doppler.... well it was a repeat of last time!!! I layed there for like 5 minutes while he unsuccessfully looked for the HB, and then he set up the portable US machine again. But this time I couldnt even see the screen :( so I had to wait what felt like an eternity (probably only a minute or so) before he made any comment at all!!! and then he suddenly says "so its moving around in there just fine" *omg DEEEP BREATHE!!!!!!!!* I was honestly expecting him to say he was unable to find a HB, but yea, he still decided to send me to get a proper scan done tomorrow because of the pink discharge anyways... so I feel like an emotional wreck :worry:
I know the Dr saw the baby move on the US but I am so scared about the US tomorrow... I just hate the waiting and the stress of it all... I wish I could feel bub move so I could have my own reassurance :awe:
What is this new thing with them being the US machine away? Ugh. So frustrating. What is wrong with doctors. Why don't they realize how stressful all of this is?Quote:

Do't blame me if I'm completely wrong and ignore following ;) So what I remember helped them was eating soups and yoghurt for the beginning. Especially creamy vegetable (carrot, squash,...you can use every veg) soups are nutrient rich but easy on stomaches that are not used to eating. - And also kids eat it because they can't see the veggies haha. And drink A LOT (water, tea,..). Try to get a small and healthy breakfast in. Snack on all kinds of fruits whenever you want/can. Work your way to normal size meals (3-5 per day) over few weeks. That depends, I think you don't have to "learn" eating like people with eating disorders where this process would take 10 or more weeks. - only a few suggestions...
I think atomic can give you better directions and lead you through this. I can imagine she has helped a lot of women after a pink sway.
Try not to let comments get to you too much. I get a lot of "looks" with my 3 girls and my husband even got condolences expressed... :mad: it's really annoying and hurts, but we really should not worry about some dumb and careless people.
Ok, last but not least I'm sending heaps of pink dust your way! hoping this is your baby girl!
Thank you! Such great advice. Bought a few organic soups and I'm going to try exactly that starting the morn. I will make sure to eat early too. Thanks :)Quote:

I’ve been off of here because it’s hard to read the success stories. I’m happy that others got what they want but reading through the last 5-10 pages has been so hard to remember that I worked so hard for what I will never have. The GD threads on here are dead. So I guess that’s why I’m posting here. Should probably stay off of here.

@thinkingofthree - I can only imagine it would be very difficult to read others success stories and its understandable you've been taking a break. But please know that no matter what you are feeling, its safe to talk about it here. we are here if you ever want to vent or chat about what your going through xo
Hey. I'm new here and literally just poas. I didn't read any of your posts but I'm sorry you are suffering from GD. I know it well. After my first two boys I wanted a girl. 5 boys later, and 2 MC, I'm here trying one last time. I really gave my sway everything I had. But im not holding my breath. I already accepted that I will probably have 6 boys and I hope I am wrong. After so many why would I think it would be different. I swayed and I prayed and obviously the answer was no. This time I gave it one more shot. I'm still praying even though sex was determined already. And my siblings all have both boys and girls and so its lonely and hard. But know there is nothing wrong with how you feel, I've faced it a few times over. I hope you can find the strength to love the plan even if it wasn't your own. And if you can't read these things, than trust your gut and occupy your time with things that bring you joy. Hugs from a GD momQuote:

We are Jan, Feb, and March). Please feel free to PM too!
I just wanted to reach out and let you know you aren't alone and there are others who know exactly the pain you are feeling.

Anyone have prenatal recommendations? I need to order.

@jgojah - the ultrasound went well, the baby is healthy and happy as far as they can tell. They found a small bleed on the wall of my uterus that they think may have been the source of the blood but they werent worried about it because it was a small one. So I am grateful everything is ok, just breathing a sigh of relief right now.
@Mom25boys - I use the Blackmores Pregnancy and Breast-Feeding Gold, I find it pretty good.
Hi Thinkingofthree. I had a failed sway too. Actually this is my second failed sway. GD is definitely something you can talk about here if you want to. I feel happy that many others' sways worked, and it is hard to start to come to terms with the fact that I will never have a daughter. Today I found myself thinking, "well maybe we can adopt one..." but that is beyond remotely possible with the other factors in my life.Quote:
