new question

Hi everyone! I'm new here and just looking for some advice/opinions. So I was going to be trying or a girl come July BUT I recently got pregnant (not on purpose) I neber got to begin my girl sway. Here's my situation and let me know if you think I have a chance for a girl and if you think I'm more likely to have a boy let me know that as well...

So I took a Ov strip test on a fri to make sure I was not ovulating (to avoid pregnancy) before having sex. It was negative so my husband and I had sex that morning... He pulled out but obviously not fully. The next night I ended up ovulating and here I am 5 weeks later prego.

I currently have 2 girls. Here is how my diet has looked:

Morning wake up have poptarts as coffee

Don't really eat lunch but I'll have maybe some string cheese and maybe some pretzels during the day.

(Prob drink on average 2 cups of coffee a day )

I had begun taking calcium gummies everyday equaling up to 1000 mg of calcium and would sometimes take 2 of my girls kid gummy vitamins.

For dinner I usually make rice with chx and frozen veggies (ate them cooked of course) I don't eat any other meat other than chx.

I don't really like much I'm very very picky with food so this is pretty much my standard diet.

I bartend 3 nights a week and don't end up eatting on those nights after lunch. I also am still breastfeesing my youngest daughter but in the process of weaning (she is 18 months).

I am 5'7 132 lbs so I'm a slimmer frame.

What do u ladies think???


side notes:
-halloween wasn't too far off so on top of my horrible pop tarts i was eating more sugar than usual BUT i only ate bad in the morning.. My diet has not been a healthy one AT ALL and i haven't worked out in years.

-I took vitex and cranberry pills on the day we had sex and the next day AND my husband drinks a lot of cranberry juice

You ALWAYS have a chance of a girl.

I don't go over sways that are already done deals. I think it only creates false hope/despair.

I will just say good luck!! No matter what, you can't lose.

I think you will likely get a 3rd daughter! Did you sway at all for your first two? How many kids do you want? (Just curious!) Congrats, hope you hear pink. :)

Thanks gals!! I did not sway with my first two my first was conceived 2 weeks after a miscarriage and my second was conceived a month after I stopped nursing my first and just getting my AF back. I feel like my diet has changed a Bit since then though. I eat waaaay more sweet stuff but haven't gained weight from it probably because I am still weaning. I will feel blessed either way I think I'm just scared if a boy because I'm so girly and only have girls so I'm scared I won't know how to be with a boy.

Ps I would love 4... But would def want to wait and have a gap between this next one and the 4th up to a 4 year gap. My husband may be ok with just 3 though

Very nice! Best of luck :)

Boys are great too! YOu can't go wrong! Wishing you the best of luck!

Yup, I bet you'd be a great mom to a boy even if you're used to girls, fundamentally they're not THAT different. There can be more difference between 2 kids of the same gender than 2 of the opposite. I'm not a mom yet but that's been my observation from years of babysitting and nannying. But I hope everything works out just as you desire.

I was the biggest girly girl around. Raised with 1 sister, I never even thought I'd have boys. Pictured myself with 2 dd. All my life. And THEN BABY 1 WAS A BOY. Was in love the moment i saw him. had a dd next, followed by another boy and then another. wondered what i was supposed to DO with all these boys. then my dd turned out to be such a tom boy ppl ask if shes a lesbian all the time (and it bugs the hell out of her). At the end of the day...I love them all. Boys are super special, more so than I'd ever thought possible. They love their mommies and love cuddles...there's a sweetness there that girls don't have. Make no mistake, i love my daughter, shes super fun and one of my best friends...

But as its been said, you can't go wrong either way. Your dh would be tickled with a boy (men always are) and it will add a new dimention to your life. So girl or boy, you WILL ADORE IT!

UGH I wish people would mind their own business. People often ask one of my sons if he's gay (he's not, just a nerd LOL) and it really annoys him.

Atomic, the one with glasses? I think he's cute. I love nerdy types (the good looking ones, at least). More than half the guys I've dated including late DH were constantly thought to be gay/hit on by gay guys.

Yes, he's the one LOL. He was constantly getting teased by his "friends" and it really bothered him, and he was even sexually harassed in the workplace by a guy one time and that was just awful. :/ But he's straight, just not super duper manly haha.

That's so horrible. I often feel like we need some 'masculinism', a revolution of men's role models etc like what feminism did. The molds for men seem so limited and unrealistic. And with most people being so socially brainwashed, it's rough if you don't fit in exactly.

Strong women are called lesbians or bitches or both, gentle men are called gay or weak. Oh, I know it well. But I honestly think it's worse for men these days.

Atomic once we were out for dinner and one of my brothers seem to be laying good in the gay market and had some Guy hitting on him. He didn't even notice cause he didn't wear his contacts. lol.
He's now Married with 3 kids.

Ppl always need to say something. Guess it makes them feel better or something.

yes it seems really really strange to me that one of the side effects of the wider acceptance of gays is that now men's gender identities almost seem to be more strictured than ever?!? It's like if a guy isn't burping and farting all the time LOL then that means he's gay. ;) And not that anything is wrong with being gay of course, but just that not every guy is gay!

Yes, exactly! Reminds me of the virgin & whore roles back in medieval times, nothing in between for non-matrons.

And thank goodness for those men too! I couldn't be doing with a whole lot of macho men running amok! ;) My boys aren't particularly sporty at all & it's a relief tbh. My GD would be sky high if I was surrounded by football mad males!! It's bad enough as it is!
