Lurking no more!

Hello to all!

I've been lurking for quite some time now and decided to finally come out of the shadows and say hi! I found this site through IG and immediately decided to join here instead... quite frankly I'm a bit shocked at the some of the stuff I saw over there! I saw women telling each other that in order to get a girl they had to do the hokey pokey while DTD, while the moon was 3/4 full, while eating raw seaweed, and wearing a voodoo charm bracelet.... I'm like REALLY?!?! That's not even REMOTELY rooted in science! (Obviously I was being sarcastic so please don't think anyone actually said any of that...) Let's just say this site makes ALOT more sense to me :)

About me... well I'm 31 and I'm a licensed drug and alcohol counselor in Southern California. I have been married to my amazing husband for 8 yrs. We have two awesome, rowdy, loud little boys who are 7 and (almost) 5. I love them with all my heart and soul but have wanted a daughter since I was a little girl myself. I've had a rough road to motherhood as I lost our first born son (stillbirth at 32 weeks) and a suffered a second trimester miscarriage on May 17th this year... sadly it was the daughter I have always dreamed of :( So here we are again on another TTC journey...

Looking forward to meeting you all and sharing this journey with you!

Attachment 4431 SO glad you finally decided to join us! You will love it here! So many wonderful supportive and sweet ladies here!

I hope that we can help you construct the perfect sway!

Thanks!!! I am definently looking forward to sharing this journey with you all and learning from the incredible wealth of knowledge here! After reading all this I'm not at all surprised that I have boys LOL... And I kinda wish I was swaying for another one because the LE diet is gonna get old pretty fast LMAOOOO

Thank you for such a warm welcome :)

Welcome Charlle:) Sorry your journey has had such sad times, hopefully this time next year we will be celebrating the arrival of the chubbiest little girl you've ever seen:) Good luck xxxx

Welcome :) I'm so sorry for your losses. May you will find fabulous support, understanding and helpful information here... as so many of us have :)

Welcome! I'm also a neewbie here who will sway for pink so I'll see you in the threads later :) Really sad to hear about your losses...

Welcome again!

Thank you for the warm welcome ladies!

I figured this would be much more helpful to me than the pregnancy loss group I was attending .... they were shocked that I even had a gender preference! Of course HEALTHY is my first priority, but it doesn't hurt to try to add a little girl to our family!!! It took 9 mths to conceive our DD, only to loose her at 14 wks so I don't have any grand notions that this will happen soon again ... but I can hope!

I have had 2 cycles since the m/c and we have tried and gotten BFN for both months :( I might take this month off to give the LE diet a good 4 weeks in action before trying again next month...

Welcome! This site is really great. I hope you get that daughter you long for. And I am so sorry for your losses. :(

Your boys are adorable. I am so sorry for your losses. Welcome.

Welcome!

I'm so sorry you lost your daughter :( I hope you get another little girl soon x
