Hi Sigrid...the other ladies that have already posted have really summed up being a 'boy' mom beautifully, there really isn't anything I can add. I would just like to assure you though that regardless of gender you will love your child fiercely...that's a promise! I have 5 boys and if i'm being honest I think I want a daughter just because I don't already have one. Not because there is anything deficient with my boys...I wouldn't trade anyone of them for anyone else on this planet!! It's very possible I have number 6 on board at the moment and that's fine too...I just realise then that i'll never experience having a daughter but that isn't the end of the world. A healthy baby trumps everything so get ready to love your baby with everything you have...it's very surprising how intensely protective you feel of your children once they're here and you'll probably shock yourself at how irrelevant his gender is once he's here!!!

Hi Sigrid I'm sorry you went through such a difficult loss. My heart goes out to you. I was pretty devastated with DS2 and he is the sweetest darling and truly a joy to me. I think everyone has really captured how Mama's boys have a very special relationship.
But I can imagine hearing boy really compounded your sense of loss. If it is any solace at least you know you can conceive a girl, many here, never have and so maybe that can give you some hope. I think it is very likely you could end up with your DD on the next go around. I don't want to minimize your loss at all, just to say we never know what life has in store for us. Hugs to you!

Sigrid, Your story brought me to tears. Gosh, I can't even imagine. I was pregnant last fall for 12 weeks, saw the heartbeat at 6 and 9 weeks and then it was gone. I had a d&c and it was devastating. My situation is not even comparable to yours. I'm so so sorry for your loss. I hope you can embrace being a boy mom in your own way. We all do it differently ☺ Little boys really are amazing.
I apologize for my delayed response. I was in the shower about 7 am and our power went out. We had some severe weather overnight but apparently I had no clue just how severe it was! Our less one year old anchored, wooden playset was lifted out of the ground and destroyed, our front porch furniture was in the empty lot next door, a few of our shutters are in our front yard, trees down, blocking the street and we are still without power at 2pm. They are reporting that tornados touched down...I'd say so! I think I'm done with this day.
Hope everyone is feeling as well as can be expected today!

Sigrid, I'm sorry for your loss <3 that must have been so painful and I know there's nothing I can say to make it better. I hope that with time you heal and I hope the baby boy you carry will greatly help that I'm not exactly a boy mom, I have a step son and he is so different from DD. He is quite silly and such a light in our home.

Roe, I'm glad you are okay!

AFM, I took my last CBD today and it said I was 2-3 weeks along, like I need something to worry about gha! I regret taking it. Although today I'm 2.85 weeks or 20 days from implantation if I did implant on the day I suspect, which is quite clear at this point.

I suppose it is correct and I should have waited until next week to test lol. I didn't even think of IMPLANTATION, I was just thinking of Ovulation and hCG doesn't begin to multiply until after implantation.

Cosmo the threshold for 3+ weeks is huge. It frustrated me too with this pregnancy. I got a 2-3 week in the morning one day and then later that same night got a 3+ .. I had probably implanted in the afternoon or evening so that's when my numbers were changing hopenthis helps you get the memory result you want!

Oh sigrid. SO much I could say and want to say but for now all I can do is send you the biggest hugs. Remember what we talked about when you were still TTC.. your beautiful baby girl will still be there in your son and liv will truly live on through her little brother. Talk with him about his sister, even now while he is snug in your belly and you are unsure of how to get past the gender disappointment.. tell him you aren't sure how to be a boy mom, it wasn't something you saw in your cards, but you will do the best you can and you hope that it's enough.

Sigrid I promise just from the conversations you and I or you and panther have had that I know when he is in your arms, soft and warm making tiny baby noises at you as he cuddles into you or you feed him wether from breast or bottle that you will adore him just as much as liv or any daughter. It's different, nobody will lie and say it's not.. it is different the bond you can have with a son vs the bond you have with a daughter.. but that doesn't make it less. You and your baby boy will be just fine.

Cosmo, which CD do you think you implanted?
My beta was 587 last Friday so almost a week ago. I'm holding out to take my last CBDWE to hopefully get a 3+ and I know I implanted late (CD11).

Burakoam, I've read that the 3+ week threshold is about 2000 HCG. Do you think that's accurate?

Thank you , Burakoam

Roe, I believe the bean implanted at 6dpo as I got my first BFP at 9dpo, plus I also had a dip.

Well shoot Cosmo! I better wait a while.
