Saying hello. Dreaming of a daughter.

[bigbump]

Hi ladies
I just wanted to introduce myself after doing a lot of reading of the amazing stories and women on this site.

I'm a mum of 2 gorgeous boys, based in the uk and am considering having one last baby hoping for a much longed for daughter. However my chances are slim, as I just turned 40.

Maybe Im mad, I have a lovely life as it is, but I feel unable to give this hope for a daughter up, while there's still a chance. This site is amazing and has given me such an insight into other people's approaches. GD is a lonely thing to feel and I appreciate seeing how others chase their dreams with such guts.

My baby is 9 months old and I've just stopped breastfeeding. I feel like it's make up our minds time. Now or never. Scary stuff.

Anyway lovely to 'meet' you all.

Welcome. Are you thinking of swaying or going HT?

Hi faith and blueplease.
I'd prefer to do HT but at my age it's very unlikely to work. So I don't really know at the moment. Time is a pressure obviously. Magic wand anyone??? I'm guessing you are hoping for a boy? And a girl after 4 boys Faithinpink! I bet your house is fun with 4 boys in it!

I wish I had a magic wand lol.. Yes I would love a girl to complete my family but think I'm just a boy mum and cant make girls .
My fingers are crossed though very hard , praying and swaying .
I'm in the 2WW atm .
Are you going to do the diet etc ??

[bigbump]

I feel like that after just 2 boys! But it is possible. I think so, I'm just supposed to be done now...

I'm in research mode. Exploring HT and preparing for pre testing in the vain hope my hb will be up for at least that within the next two months while my body readjusts after bc and bfeeding. Baby is not sleeping just now so it's not a good topic right now. I'm trying to give him some space and I'll bring it up again in a month or so.

However if I was to try naturally, yes I would do diet, timing, supplements, superstitious things, whatever! Is that what you are doing? When is af due? TWW is total torture.

I wish I could do HT but not affordable ATM or should I say NEVER �� will be.
Yes I'm doing diet have been on it for 14 weeks now. I was doing exercise 5-6 days a week but had to stop. Am thinking If im not pregnant ill probably start again .
I hate the 2ww. AF is due in 7days.
Good luck , ask plenty of questions , ladies here are lovely and very supportive

Hello and welcome My cousin has just fallen pregnant at 39 (first baby)unplanned, she doesnt know gender but it can happen , shes worried about being 40 with a newborn but age is just a number. Gl for your sway xx

Hi Sharon!
I am 40 with a baby! She will be fine. It's not like you hit 40 and fall over decrepit! I don't feel any different from 10/15 years ago. Until you look at fertility stats then it's as if you are dead already ��
Thanks for saying hi

Hi and welcome!

I got my girl at 42 (pregnant at 41) after FOUR boys so I can assure you it is possible!

Good luck and let me know if I can be of any help.
