Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond

[GeCon]

Meeks, of course you can join us. Let me know your due date and I will add you to the 1st post.

I cannot wait to find out, not long now. Scan is booked for Thursday, but I am fairly positive it is another little boy. Even more so after seeing something on my scan video. Trying not to think too much about it just now, but as you know for us there will be only two kiddies... *little sigh*

And yes to the eating. I am currently eating a lot...

Mathilde, welcome back.

Sunflower, sorry to hear your news. Fingers crossed for your next cycle and a sticky pink bean.

Just an update in me.

Appears I had a chemical this month. Af started on Thursday. I'm sad but going to ttc this cycle as my blood test showed no traces of hcg left in my system. Fx for this cycle!

So sorry, again, sun. Glad at least you can do another month of clomid and not have to take time off. Fx for you this month. Xxxx

Thanks hon. My due date is 18th Feb 2014. I will have to have a caesarian (not thrilled) at 38 weeks though, so most likely first week of feb.

I know that feeling of this being the last, this is our number 3 but defiantly final child, dh is getting the snip after the baby arrives. I am in agreeable because I know even if this is a boy, we couldn't handle 4. Although I always thought I wanted 4, the practicalities of even going from 2 to 3 are hitting me, and I know I don't want to go through 4 caesarians, 4 newborns, and have to find a 5 bedroom house. We have a very demanding ds1 though and mainly I think it would be unfair on the other kids to have another when he already takes so much time and effort. Personal of course, I totally see the benefits and reasons for wanting 4, and probably would myself if dh wasn't so practical.

Added you with your original due date for now, meeks. I guess we can change them to actual birth datesonce all the little bundles arrive.

I am completely with you on the decision of only having one more child. Logistics, housing etc. would make any more children too difficult for us too.

Gecon....my reasons for 2 were so simple, we have not traveled globally, I am selfish in that I don't want to leave my kids or drag them along! Two kids and travel seemed doable, I feel that I will have to stretch funds, energy, etc. further with 3, but the gamble for a daughter or bonus boy was worth it (and he isn't even here yet!!).

Mathilde...welcome back!!! You and Meeks are not allowed to count yourself out just yet. This thread says dreaming pink and I have to think that someone is going to hold a daughter out of this group!! Or two or three....which brings me to

Sunflower and TTCpink, you both have had rough months....lots of loving and (((hugs))) and wishes for bfps on the next cycle out!

I'm having a girl! So that's at least one... Got two boys already.

Tree you are the only one I know that swayed and is having a girl!

Hi ladies!

GeCon - Aaahh!! Your scan is so close! How are you feeling? Excited?? Can't wait for your update.

Charlee - Hope you're healing up nicely!

Sunflower - So, so sorry for your chemical. I had one before DS3, and it was hard. I still saw it as a baby, so I had to grieve. But, on the bright side, I got pg with DS3 4 weeks later! I've heard you're extra fertile after a miscarriage, and I know that I've heard it sways pink. Fingers crossed and hugs, too!

Ladybugs - Glad you went for it with #3. I'm sure you won't regret it! He will be a sweetie!!

Mathilde - Glad you had a great vacation. So wonderful to come back rejuvenated! Hope you're feeling well. When's your scan?

Meeks - Welcome! Glad to see you on this thread! When's your NT scan?

I am honestly so surprised that (so far) there have been so few girls from all these swaying mommies! I gotta say I just don't get it. Anybody got any theories??

AFM - Still super tired, and still a little nauseous. It's ok, I'm managing! My MaterniT21 bloodwork and NT scan is this Friday. I'll only be 11 wks, 2 days, so I'm sure a nub shot won't be reliable. I think I won't even ask, because I don't want to nubsess, since I'll know gender within 2 weeks after. Will keep the dream alive just a liiitttle bit longer.

You want my honest theory.....


LUCK

I really don't think that the sways that have brought the desired genders in the winter due date have been any stronger or better than those bringing us opposites.

I hope that all our babies are healthy.....I know that they will all be so cute!!!

Well apparently the group due before us had more girl success, and the boy swayers are achieving amazing results, near 90% now! I also think we still have more theories to test with girl sways and there is so much conflicting advice on other websites people get confused. If anyone was on IG sway for example. Also it's much harder to trick your body into thinking it's in declining condition constantly, and still conceive. So girl swayers give up more tactics just to get a baby, which sometimes effects our sways. I also think clomid was seen as far too big a 'silver bullet' and don't believe the stats will stay as high for that. And the exercise stats only appeared recently so the vast majority of us were couch potato-ing it 'just in case' where now we see 1hr per day of cardio 6 days a week is having amazing success.

Also we can't forget we are kind of pioneering this swaying business as its only been going a few years and only recently traceable in any kind of statistics way. Atomic is only one (very amazing) person and she's learning too as we all go through this. In 5 years with thousands of stats to read we will know far more.

Blue swayers have it pretty easy in terms of the body thinking its high nutrient is easy. Snack, take multivitamins, do it every few days. It happens fast for them usually too so it's easier to keep up a sway.
