Strong pain only on right --- mean boy? (early pregnancy)
Hello,
I am very early in the pregnancy - 5 weeks - but I am having extremely strong cramping on my right hand side, and absolutely nothing on the left. I know when my sister in law was pregnant, she had only pain on her left and it was a girl, and that was how she knew so early. She was convinced from that point on it was a girl, and she was right. I also recall 100% that my pain was on the right with my son. It is identical to that now. I remember with my son I ignored all these obvious signs and still held out hope, but he was a boy, and I was utterly devastated, so I do not want to do that again. To me, this is clearly a boy now. Also, I have done some HT failures for girls, and those pregnancies all I felt was pain on the left. The one-sided pain is just so acute here as it has been in all my initial pregnancies, and has been accurate for me, family, and a bunch of friends I had asked also (who didnt know about the theory so couldnt give the answer they thought I wanted to hear).
I know everyone likes to talk about Ramzi, and many say it is not accurate, but the study (if not made up) is convincing. I am not surprised many get wrong guesses from sonogram pictures posted, but I do believe if people asked the tech which said the placenta was on/embryo implanted, it may well be a lot more accuracy.
This was a total shock pregnancy - we were actually prepping for another HT cycle, just waiting for my period to arrive, and then I got pregnant. We were told by numerous doctors a natural pregnancy was not in the cards and IVF was the only option, which was fine with me since I wanted to do gender selection anyhow.
Does anyone have any anecdotal stories from their pregnancies with pain on right/left turning out to be boy/girl respectively, etc? I have googled it and anyone I see post about this (not a lot of them) all ended up getting the gender they said the pain was on so that has me even more convinced.
