I'm having my third boy :(

[amanduhjade]

I never thought I'd end up posting here , but no one understands what I'm going thru. My mom tells me I just need to get over it , but it's not that easy. Everyone is all like as long as the baby is healthy, and of course that's the main priority but I'm so hurt and depressed! I already have two boys , 2 and 4. I elected to pay for an early ultrasound because I just knew this baby was a girl! I had that gut feeling that I would finally get my girl. It's a diff father than my last two and we both wanted a girl ever so badly! I don't want to have 4 children, but now I can't stop thinking about trying for my next. I'm scared that I can't possibly bare going thru this 4 times! I saw the gender on the ultrasound before she even said anything and I told her she didn't have to tell me , I've already seen it! Everyone around me is having girls and I can't even stand to look at people with daughters without making me sick! I'm grieving over something I never had to begin with. All I've ever dreamed of is having that little girl and I feel like I will never have her. I keep hoping they were wrong and he will turn into a she but I know that will never happen. It's final, I'm having my third boy! And I've been crying since Wednesday. Dh is so upset too! I know I will love him the same but I'm so heartbroken! My mom is upset that I feel this way and she thinks I'm overreacting.. It just hurts so bad, I see everyone with mixed genders and here I am with three boys! Will I ever have a daughter image.jpg

I'm so sorry. I was going to suggest HT for a 4th but I am sorry that you and your husband have parted. Any hope for reconciliation?

We haven't been together for almost two years, he's the father of my first two boys. New father this time, we've been together for a year and 3 months. Probably could have worded that a little better. Ht ? I haven't been on here in awhile , I haven't familiarized myself with everything just yet.

HT= High tech. As in elective IVF with PGD for gender selection. 99% accuracy but costs about $15,000 per cycle.

Oh my, I couldn't afford that if I wanted too lol. I've read about ericcsson method, but I hear it's only a 75% success rate.. Although that's more in my price range. I have a lot of time to research and figure out what is best for our family, I don't plan on trying for Atleast 4-5 years. But I feel like I won't be complete until I get my little princess

Erickson statistics are all over the map-60-75% which really isn't that great seeing as men make 50/50 sperm anyway.

I sobbed when I found out ds3 was a he. I swayed on ig for him and felt I surely deserved a break as it was a long 11 months. I bought really gorgeous bedding for him, new clothes despite saving everything from my other 2 .... All the things a daughter would have gotten for just being a girl, he deserved it too. After a few days the sobbing was just replaced by sadness. But that went, I bonded with him in my tummy and when my gorgeous blond blue eyed bubs arrived I was totally smitten. You will be too. It'll take time to grieve over your dream but I'm sure you'll feel better soon. I did. Xx

we are getting very similar success rates with swaying as with Ericsson.

I'm so sorry you're feeling down, I hope that it gets better for you soon.
