JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2014 DUE DATE CLUB- THREAD #2

[Little Lunasa]

Hey ladies can I join you?

I'm currently 11 weeks pregnant. My sway was pretty crap... I followed a strict weight loss diet 2 weeks prior to dtd (lost 9lbs), took aspirin and zirtek (only once tho), hubby did a 10mile run before dtd and just 1 attempt! I am pretty sure I'm carrying my fourth boy but I am I big believer in what is meant to be will be

Love C xxx

Welcome carameline
The one attempt in your sway is a strong factor for pink, so fx you get your dd

Prayforprincess I completely understand why you feel that way and I would feel the same way too. I didn't do the LE diet simply because I suck at diets. Once I got pg it started to come back and haunt me. I couldn't help but think I ruined my sway by not doing the diet. But everything happens for a reason. Your bean was meant to be. I know it's hard.. But we are all here for you!!!

What was your sway? You didn't do diet?
That gives me a little hope since you are having your dd....

[prayforprincess]

OMG Aidansmum!!! I am sooooo happy for you!!! I hope and pray to be you in the next few weeks. I just can't imagine the immense happiness you must be feeling. That is over the top so amazing.

Can I tell you guys something so personal that NO ONE knows? I just feel I have to get it out and tell someone because it weighs on me heavily but I can't talk about it with anyone in my life because no one knows....

My dh has a daughter. A 1 1/2 before we were married (when we were not together at the time) he had a one night stand with some girl when he was traveling for work. She had said she was pg but not keeping the baby. 1 month before our wedding child support papers were sent to our home. We had a paternity test done and the girl in fact was his. He has no relation with her has never met her etc. We don't even have a phone number. She and her mother live across the country in CA and while I was open to whatever my dh wanted to do, he has chosen not to be in contact or have a relationship so I have to support that decision.
So the fact is, even though we have 3 boys and so many failed ivf cycles under our belt where it just seems like we cannot have a girl - the truth is he can have a girl. And I can't help but be so damn resentful that some nobody stole the daughter I was supposed to have with my husband. It absolutely kills me! And if I have a 4th boy I just feel like, how am I getting boy after boy and she just bam got a girl 1st shot in one night with him? What is wrong with me? What am I doing wrong that the girl swimmers aren't going to my egg??!!
Sorry, I'm sure reading this many of you have mixed emotions, but this is just one more thing that adds to my GD and makes things so much worse for me, if that's even possible. I want to believe that luck is in my cards this time but as u can see from my sig -- luck doesn't seem to be on my side...

PFP that is one of the best proven things about gender ratio and no one knows why (well we know why, just not how). Women in committed relationships with a stable partner have more boys than women who are not. This has been observed and studied back to the time of Charles Darwin and he himself observed and wrote about it. It is NOT something that is wrong with you or that you are doing wrong. It is that your body sizes up the environment and cues it's getting and boys have a better chance of survival to adulthood to pass down genes when there is a dad around.

Welcome carmeline!!!

PFP I did not diet at all. I skipped breakfast, but I have my whole life lol I'm just not a breakfast person. Other than that, I just went about my normal eating. Trying to do the diet was stressing me out. I felt like I didn't understand it (even tho I had MANY people explain it to me!) and I felt like I was forcing myself to eat to get the calories I needed. I tried it for about 2 weeks and gave up! (I didn't get pg until months after attempting the diet so I know for sure that had nothing to do with it) as for DH having a daughter, I completely understand. I came into the relationship with my DH with 2 boys from a previous relationship. When he told me his desire for a girl, and then we had a boy, I felt like I was shorting him two chances at a daughter since we agreed 4 kids no matter the gender. It killed me knowing if he married someone without kids, he would have 4 chances at getting his daughter instead of just 2. I know it's not the exact same situation as yours but I do believe it's similar. I pray this is your DD!! I can't imagine how unfair it must feel that some girl had a dd with DH and you have 3 boys. However, I would feel the exact same way!! I'm glad you got it off your chest.. Opening up about it can hopefully help you to slowly be able to move on from it.
