TTC Girl - March 2012

[KraizyDaizy]

Thanks so much for the encouragement PFP! I really appreciate it!!!

PFP, can I ask some history on your 3 boys? Like did you always know you wanted a girl, or did the longing grow from having 3 boys in a row? hehe just curous because I only wanted girls from Day 1 and hearing boy twice was shocking (though, I don't know why, based on everything I've read here, I live a very "boy" lifestyle)...was just curious when you knew for sure that you really were going to do everything in your power to try for a girl?

I definitely took DS2 harder than 1 because after the inital surprise that DS1 was a boy (I kept thinking he had to be a girl, no real reason), I had hope that I had another chance with my 2nd, and I was even more sure that 2nd was a boy because that baby just *had* to be a girl (because I already had my boy, so why not girl?)

This time, even though I did sway and changed behaviors, I am very aware that I could hear boy for a 3rd time, and I think being so prepared (I'm hoping!) will help me so if I do hear boy again, I can at least be happy that I tried. I hope if I do hear boy that I don't second guess what I did to sway, etc. I really, really long for peace with whatever this bean is.

Hello, pink swayers!!! I have two boys, DS#1 is almost 7 and DS#2 is 5. Dreaming to have a little girl !!!! I am going to try this month (March) and today is my first day on Clomid (50mg), also LE diet, low sodium, low pottassium since January, SP suppl, B6 and FAcid. My ovulation is on March 26-28. I have a very nice swaying plan from gender dreaming, so hopefully we will get our girls at the end of this year. I practically do everything to sway pink ))

Congratulations on your BFP LMN7, that is great news. FX all works out fine. I am sure all will be fine and pink.

Welcome Pearl.

Auroara -- I guess before I had children I never really thought about my desire for a daughter because I just always assumed I would have one. As a child I used to beg my mother for a little sister. Never got one.
Then when I got pregnant with ds1, I did not think much about it. I would have loved for it to be a girl but I knew my dh really wanted a son, so I was happy to give him a son. He was so thrilled he yelled out "F*#k YA!" during the ultrasound scan. After ds1 was born I knew that I needed my next to be a girl since dh already had his boy. I started obsessing over it but was not educated in swaying so did not really know much about how to make it happen. I knew about the Shettle's method but could not calculate my ovulation well so, we just tried to get pregnant and I relied on luck and god to gift me with a girl. And then I got Tommy. I cried hysterically when I had the ultrasound and they told me boy. I felt like my back was to the wall and my next child just had to be a girl. It would be my last chance. Ofcourse my Thomas is the most handsome boy ever and I would not trade him for anything. Then with ds3 I was really obsessed but again not educated enough. I heard about the calcium/magnesium but put my husband on the pills. I knew about lowering sperm count so we dtd every day from af-o. We were trying for a cut off but I ended up bd-ing thru o. At the time 2 of my gf's became pg and I just wanted to be pregnant too. I never thought I would have a third boy. It was devistating at his u/s. I had pretty bad GD for a few weeks. I went straight from my u/s to the fertility specialist and asked if they were doing IVF with PGD. I knew I had to have a 4th child and it had to be a girl. I was not taking any chances. I could not live without a daughter. So after giving birth to ds3 I was confidant that my next would be a girl since we were doing IVF. I would have never imagined in a million years that 3 cycles and a frozen cycle later I still would not have my daughter, that what I though was a guarantee would be such a failure and I would be again leaving fate up to chance. Chance and luck has never been on my side so I am very scared to sway. But its all I have left as HT just was not working for us.
I will be crushed at the thought that my dream of having a daughter will never come true. Sometimes I want to bargin with above, I say that if I could just have my daughter I never have to get anything I want for the rest of my life. That is all I need to complete my life -- take all my other wants and needs and throw them away. Never grant me another wish but please gift me with my daughter.
I just dont want to live forever wondering what she would have looked like, what it would have been like to raise her, how she would have changed our lives, feeling jealous of mother's I see with their daughter's or hearing than another is pg with a daughter. I hate feeling like that -- I just want to be happy for other's but instead I think "how did she get a dd and I cannot". The only way to put all these feelings to rest is to have my own dd -- and these feeling consume my thoughts, my days, my whole life. I truly want it to be over, I want to move forward and move on from this and focus on more important things. I don't want to live the rest of my life with these feelings -- that would just be eternal torture.

PFP this made me emotional reading your post - it is precisely the exact way that i feel. It really would be torture for me to go through life and not have a daughter. Everyone always says to me 'oh you so need to have a little girl' or 'i can't wait til you have a little mini-me' etc, and to think that that may never happen is more than i can really bare. So i am trying to stay positive, but there is no way that my DP would ever agree to have another one if this turns out to be a boy - he was happy with one child! i guess i'm just wishing for all the luck in the world to help this come true for me.
So DP and i dtd this morning (about 3hrs ago), only ended up being once because he had to go to work early. I am happy that we did it first thing in the morning, didnt do a J&D and he didnt have hot shower beforehand, but I'm hoping that being warm in bed helped toast those spermies a little bit. Fingers crossed this gets me my little girl i have dreamed about since i was a girl myself. Eek, i'm feeling nervous!!

Good luck with your attempt Maybe...hope all goes according to plan.
Welcome Pearl
Fingers crossed that everything works out for you KD...this can all get very frustrating. You're not out.
Hi to everyone else

[amari]

Littlemiss-Glad you are feeling better! You got a BFP so early! That is prob why it was so light!

KD-GL testing coming up soon, right? I know it sucks being on clomid. I hate it too. It feels like you have no control over your fertility. I'm right there with you.

Pearl-Welcome and good luck to you!!

PP-HOpe your attempts are going well!

Sweetsister-I don't know if it the clomid hormones or just us having lost weight and our bodies not liking it but, yes, the hunger is getting hard to take. I had to have my evening snack which I usually have as my dessert later after dinner around 9:30 as a mini meal at 6 tonight instead. I will have dinner in a bit. I really do hope this is my month and everyone else's esp who has been on the diet for awhile b/c it is getting to me!

HOpe-How's my cycle buddy doing?

Hi anyone I missed!

Im laughing because i finally got a positive opk MSDay Well it is first thing in the morning and i tested which i normally wait til afternoon so im happy i did!We really are cycle buddies hey?
I dtd last night with preseed SCARY and took half the reccomended dose of robitussin even SCARIER but i think its even a worse fate that id have to be on the diet another month!It is so much easier dtd on clomid with preseed though,ill sasy that
Amari i do think its the clomid i am hungry from the time i wake up and while i eat still even when im done eating STILL hungry!
Im going to start eating as soon as i know ive ovulated i cant beleive it will harm my chances of a pink bean implanting?What do you all think?
just think about next christmas we all might have a little December baby girl ladies
