Anyone else due??

[Indira]

Wow dannikins, a 5 day cut off with J&D!! that´s amazing! Did you conceive your boys around O or with cut-offs as well?
That really reminds me of Doulamama´s sway: long cut-off+J&D+surprise pregnancy= girl! FXFXFX
And you had the flu too! To me that sounds even better than a planned sway.
I layed with hips elevated after DTD because I finally wanted to get pregnant, now I feel so stupid I did that.

This evening at the dinner table however I was looking at Ds2 singing his songs and I was able to forget about gender and just wish the character of this baby will be like his.

Its funny you say that cause this is how I feel with dd2, she is such a character, makes us laugh all the time.

This evening at the dinner table however I was looking at Ds2 singing his songs and I was able to forget about gender and just wish the character of this baby will be like his.

i know what you mean.
even though i had pretty bad gender dissapointment during the pregnancy with my last one, he is now my whole world, hes the most lovable little man and has the best personality , i know when i look at him, that no matter what this baby is i will be ok.....

my last 2 boys were 2-3 day cut offs, im not sure what the first 2 were because i wasnt charting with them, but we were doing it like rabbits so i guess it was straight through O, especially our first he was at least twice a day everyday.

this time was just the one time 5 days before O, and nothing for about a week before that.

also, all my boys were conceived in summer/fall and born in the spring.
this will be my first winter baby, conceived in the spring.

so hopefully we have done enough things differently this time ...

This time we dtd right on O, with my girls we were like rabbits. Dd1 was an oops & dd2 was planned, both my girls were born in summer, this one will be born in winter, in the end I believe ive done all I possibly could so if this ends up being dd3 then she was meant to be, I really hope my sway combination has worked though.

Thanks, Begonia. Sorry you didn't hear blue. I truly knows what it feels like...except on the flip side. Maybe if I'm having another boy, you can shop for my baby & I'll shop for yours?

Done

It's super hard, isn't it. I keep thinking with time it'll go away completely but I'm not sure it ever will. I think it will probably be one of the only true disappointments in my life. Not disappointment with my girls, not them at all ... they will be my greatest joys for sure. But never having a son will always hurt and I've just got to accept that as part of my life now.

It's so hard to get over GD too when everywhere you look you see kids, LOL. And people have comments about yours.

I do think this is one of the best ways to get through bad GD days! Focusing on what you love about your kids that has nothing to do with their gender... my DD2 is a total goofball too And DD1 is just the kindest most thoughtful 6 year old I've ever seen; she said the other day when we saw Santa that she knew it was just an elf (hee hee) but she wasn't going to tell that to DD2, because she wanted DD2 to believe it was really Santa.

LOL... I don't know how I keep ending up posting here I really hope you all get your DG! It seems like the pink swayers due when I am are all having great success lately, so FX! And CA you know I'm rooting for you too!!

Oh don't sweat it! I did that too and I'm having a girl! Even the best sways come down to the luck component and IMO that's the biggest part and there's nothing we can do to change it. Here's hoping you get your DD!

Applesoup about your friend I understand the drenching feeling of you know that your always right about others and what about my turn. Just imagine her until she is in our arms. I personally believe it is very rare to have one of a kind. I never see families with more than 3 of a kind, I mostly see pp or 3 with 2 of one and one of the other. Out of my four years between kinder and school I only saw and know of a handful of people with 3 of the same let alone 4. I know it can happen but I think it rare. You know I heard its good luck to have 3 of a kind!

[applesoup]

I´m sorry if I made you feel even worse
So you have 42 % of a change for a girl! It is not 10 or 20 or 30%, it´s still a very good change!

It's okay, Indira. you didn't make me feel worse. Thanks for your optimism. I lost mine on DS2.

I think it will probably be one of the only true disappointments in my life. Not disappointment with my girls, not them at all ... they will be my greatest joys for sure. But never having a son will always hurt and I've just got to accept that as part of my life now.

I couldn't have said it better!! It's just one of those things that I'll never be able to change without doing something...out-of-character & expensive. (HT or adoption.) Even then, one way I'd feel like I'm playing God...(no offense to those who are thinking this way...I'm very tempted!) & the other way she wouldn't be "my" little girl. Ya know?

I told DH that if this is DS4 then I want him to get snipped. (If it's DD1, then I'll consider a 5th.) He told me I was being rash, it wasn't a prayerful decision, and that he'd wait 2 years before getting snipped. I know he's right on all accounts...but I just want the pain to stop. Before getting pregnant, I thought the only way to stop the pain would be to have a girl--and I still really believe that.

At the same time, I'm starting to think there's something to be said about just moving on & entirely-loving & focusing on the boys I do have. Hoping that God will give me a girl is an emotional investment I can't afford any more...

My good friend who found out #3 is DD1 announced today on FB. BOY did she get a HUGE difference in responses than I did. I haven't told ANYONE this time, but last time? All I did was announce "we're pregnant" & I had rude comments up the wah-zoo & no where near the # of comments she received. It's hard not to be sad when others are SO excited that she got their DG.
