Bound to be ANOTHER boy!

[maybeoneday]

I did sway but not strictly. I started off really strict and lost about a stone but went too hard on the releasing and ultimately wasted a year not getting pregnant! I then relaxed the sway so hard as was desperate for a baby that I ended up with DS3!

I would do things very differently next time and would buy a plan from atomic for sure but I still have this niggle about going HT. Would I regret it for the rest of my life if I didn't do it? Would I regret the money if I did it and it didn't work? There are no right answers, I just have to be happy with the one we make!

The only thing for sure is that we will only have one more baby! Think I am pushing DH already talking about 4!

Enjoy your latest baby boy. They are all so precious and grow up so quickly.

I can so relate to these comments! After DPs 6 sons people think we have no chance of a girl

Comments like that are painful to hear. To me it always seems to imply that they think there's something "wrong" with me. But as you said, it really is 50/50. There's nothing wrong with us and much right if we're able to have these beautiful boys! The people you know could just as easily have been the ones with all boys and you with both sexes. There's definitely a lot of chance involved and you are about as likely as anyone to have a girl next. I think if most of us had as many children as nature allowed we would end up with at least one of each but with families being smaller now for many reasons the pressure is on.

I know that must be hard to hear. But they are very very wrong. We just had our DD in July after 3 DS's. We didn't sway either. I did take Vitex for a month. But that was it. It can definitely happen. Don't let rude comments like that, get you down. They're far from the truth.

I am so fed up of everyone saying that my chances of a girl after 3 boys is virtually zero! My DS 3 is only 10 weeks old and people feel the need to say 'well you have no chance of a girl if you have any more'.

I know the stats that is is still nearly 50/50 but when you are told something that many times, you start to believe it. I am 95% certain that we will go for one more but not sure how I will handle the 'told you so' comments that I will get if it is another boy.

I think if I lived in the US, I would go HT but the enormous cost of travel as well as the cost of HT is not realistic and I would feel like I was depriving my existing children of so many things.

Sorry for the brain dump but had to offload somewhere!

Thanks for listening! X

Hi
I am in exact the opposite situation with 3 girls. Wish sooooo badly for a boy. People often pity me that I dont think I could try naturally too end up with another girl! I love my girls but the desire for a boy is just out of the world. If only Pgd was available in the uk!
Any boy tips please?

Yep, what she said! I was warned off trying for number 3 by someone who truly loves me and just wanted to protect me from disappointment - she said you know it will be a boy don't you? Well, we are both happy that she was wrong as DD1 will be bouncing into our lives in the New Year. I am not sure of the stats but they are of the population as a whole not those swaying etc.

I took vitex too.
Good luck.

Got 3 boys and a girl. No swaying. She was a surprise.
#5 on its way, and I am getting the same comments! That's pretty funny considering we have a girl!

[SoulSister]

Just wanted to share that we are expecting our second daughter. No swaying involved.
There is hope

[maybeoneday]

You girls all give me hope! I WILL try again and I will hopefully be blessed with another baby. You never know it might be pink and it can be ME that says 'told you so!' Not the other way around!

Congrats to all those who got their desired gender and all those wanting blue, I have tips in abundance! X

Right from announcing our 4th pregnancy my brother in law just kept saying "wow imagine having 4 boys" and my mother in law always called the baby "he" saying "that's just the way it goes sometimes" I did get a 4th boy but I felt annoyed that they thought I had no chance and felt my mother in law was just being spiteful and she thought we shouldn't have had a 4th
