Feel like giving up. What's the point?

Today a co-worker out of the blue said to me "I don't want to jinx you but I think you are going to be just like my sister. She wanted a daughter so bad but she has 3 boys."

I have been on the sway diet for 6 weeks, wasting away, popping supplements, starving myself on Thanksgiving. Our first attempt is supposed to be in about 2 and 1/2 weeks. I just want to go eat a large pizza. Why am I even trying???

Well, the point is it may work for you! You've come this far so don't quit now! She said that because she does NOT want you to get what you want. She is rooting against you I'm certain. Avoid that kind of energy completely. She is of no value to you.

You can do this!

I feel the exact same way , my d/h side are pretty much all boys and d/h has three brothers my MIL knows how bad i want a girl and she keeps saying why are you even doing this to yourself its just not going to happen. I even said i like such and such for a girl as in a name and she said dont even go there .... Makes me so mad i want to prove everyone wrong but its soooo hard sticking to this when you get negative comments all the time and as you said we just think .. whats the point in all this then. BUT stick with it your only 2 and a half weeks away at trying you can do it you have come this far why not just try and up your chances and hope you can prove everyone wrong too! My attempt is not until January how I am going to get thru xmas gee i dont know!!!

I to had a gf that said to me if you go for a 3rd i think you'll get another girl, what a bitch thats why she's no longer my friend among other things she had said to me.

But i went for it anyway, & she will never know what i have cause ive since moved to anothet state, but gees if this is a boy inside me i would love to rub it in her face.

Dont give up now, you've come too far.

The old saying holds true - "Better to have tried and failed, than to have never tried at all".

The old saying holds true - "Better to have tried and failed, than to have never tried at all".

This is why I had to do it!

Think how wonderful it would be to prove her wrong!!!! Give it your all girl!!

Seriously what the hell is wrong with people? Do they not have filters? Like what part of that comment coming out of her mouth could have possibly made you feel better other than "I hope you get your girl!".

My MIL is no better. She's like "Well if you go for a 3rd you may wind up with another girl. That's why we didn't go for one because FIL didn't want all boys". (She had 2 boys).
I'm like wouldn't a better line be "I hope you get your boy because I would love a Grandson!"

Truly. Just any sense of thought.

Thanks gals. Well, I didnt go out an eat a pizza. I burst into tears when I got home from work but somehow pulled it together and stayed with it. I really dont know how I am going to take it if I do get boy #3. Of course I will love him but DS#2 is almost 5. I dont think I can take this GD any longer!
