Thanks @maximbella!

Gender can now be determined through a blood test between 8-10 weeks gestation. It's the test they do now in leu of an amniocentesis. Because of my age, I get the test automatically per my doc. But I think you can request it. Otherwise, you'd have to wait 13-16 weeks for the ultrasound.

@Ashfind I hear you on that. I never had the bw done with my first two. Only since the ectopic because I'm more at risk now for another ectopic. I'm also more nervous!

Have to work today ladies but I've quickly caught up. Just a couple things and I'll respond more later.

Netti boo for af hope this cycle goes better and dh is more helpful...

Maxim I would avoid alcohol if you can. Otherwise keep it to a bare minimum. I had a wedding to go to when I was 8dpo (I got a bfp that morning) with ds2 and was known to enjoy a good wedding so I did the vodka trick someone mentioned. I did drink a small glass of white wine on arrival as could not get out of it without raising alot of suspicion but from there ordered vodka, lemon lime and soda minus the vodka. If someone asked if I wanted another drink I would say I'm thinking what I feel like so I could go and order my own non alcohol drink

Love that, that's my plan pbn! I remembered that I used to do that with DD1 before we told everyone. I don't mind telling my best friends and plan to, but there's some others that I need to keep this from so I don't get their unsolicited opinions. [emoji849] my MIL likes to "remind" me that I have my hands full and we should never have more...

Ash - She did not say that. [emoji35]
Really!
You know I kept forgetting to ask you what was ur in laws reaction since u mentioned ur dh telling them. I have always thought how efficient u r to manage ur boys and working out and keeping up with your diet.

[AshFind]

I try sky I figure I'm the one who had them I'm the one who takes care of them. But they buy a lot for the boys. The like to buy clothes, shoes, they take us out to eat a lot and I do feel like I'm weighing others down by having one more even tho I'm the one to care for them all 99% of the time and I don't need them to buy clothes (I'd rather do it myself anyways lol) they're the only ones who know because I just know I'm going to hear a million times "trying for a girl? And you know what causes that don't you?" I just want to enjoy this pregnancy without negativity dh and myself can handle 5 kids we have the means and the space in the house and no one else should worry about how we're going to do it!!
Sorry rant over [emoji6]
She also threw in an "I'm sorry". [emoji849]

This is an unlimited guilt free rant zone dear. That's the best part of ttc this time. I am way more relaxed than my first time. I think u r a great mom taking care of your family. People will talk no matter what. My sister had her second daughter and an unknown person at the hospital asked her why didn't she try for a boy?Made me so mad. Like she had any control over it. I just gave her the scariest look and she apologized and ran before I could even blink.
IMO, It's great that your in laws do so much for u but that shouldn't stop u from having the family U dream
of especially when u have the means to support and raise them. I bet u guys have the cutest family. Such loving parents and the sweet mom that u r. Enjoy this time. Vent all U want. Hugs.

Oh @skyblue - I can't even get started on my MIL you guys. Can't even!
My step-MIL though is one of the reasons we even started trying again. She convinced us that we're excellent parents, that our babies are beautiful and insisted that we needed to have another. She's the saving grace!
Oh and I'm not going public with my pregnancy until after we find out the gender for that very reason, @ashfind. Just closest friends/family. I don't want people asking, "are you trying for a girl?!" Ugh! That way I'll know and say, "we're expecting a boy/girl in January!"

Sorry i wasnt so active over the weekend. Many things happened over the weekend so busy sorting them out. Sorry if i missed anything, but congrats on all the bfps. I pray that they are all super sticky beans for you guys.

I am on CD19 now. No positive opk yet. I am so sad that the digi cb doesnt give me any smile. Easy@home opk seems to be darker than before but i am not sure if it is positive. What do you think? We dtd yesterday, should we skip today and dtd tomorrow?
