Anyone else think they will never get their DG?

Wow that's interesting....I found it strange that the odds are greater to have 6 boys in a row...and rarer to have 6 girls in a row!

6 children will be boys = 1 in 55.57 (1.76%) 6 children will be girls = 1 in 73.6 (1.34%)

I know, it's weird, right? I do think the average woman has a slightly higher chance of conceiving a boy each time (like 52% or something like that.)

Gawd that means I am some kind of freak. If I'm going to beat the odds like that, can't I win lotto instead lol

I'm very sure I'm not going to get my missing gender. I have a strange confidence that if I went for a third it would be a girl this time (I have two boys) but both of my pregnancies had complications resulting in bedrest and after the last one I had bad, long-lasting PPD unrelated to gender. I couldn't go for a third unless I was sure that wouldn't happen again especially now that I have little boys to chase after. I know my feeling about having a girl means nothing and I could still have a third boy but in either case we aren't going for another. Maybe I like telling myself that I "chose" not to have a girl instead of confronting the fact that these things are all out of my hands.

Totally! I have 2 boys and I actually prayed for #2 to be a boy b/c growing up with only one brother I always wanted a sister and really wanted that type of bond for my boys. And to be perfectly honest, I don't even know if you would classify my feelings as "gender desire" b/c I do not believe I will be disappointed in the least with another boy, which I know sounds crazy b/c I bought a custom sway plan and everything...

I really feel like God knows what's best for me and my family and so if I have another boy then I was supposed to have another boy. It's a similar feeling to when I was TTC my first (#2 was a surprise). I knew God was in ultimate control of all of it, but I did everything I could to meet him halfway (BBT charting, etc.). And that's how I feel about swaying, just to be sure I do my part, I am going to sway. But I don't truly believe I will have a little girl and, even though I would love to, I'm okay with that.

This is my first post here. I totally understand how
You feel during my first pregnancy I really wanted a girl,
I didn't mind when ds1 was born, I knew I would have
More. I prayed to god every day to bless me with a
daughter and I tried the shettles method which I
messed up and had ds2 . I love both my sons but am
terrified of going for number 3 if its another boy
my dream is over and I don't know how to Handel it.

Welcome! I felt like this when I started out swaying 18 months ago. I was very strict and the thought of ds3 horrified me. Sometimes I think I was subconsciously scared of even getting pg full stop. Now after ttc for so long I'm at peace with the idea of a ds3 and just desperately want another baby. It's been a long hard road and my failure to conceive has been down to too much strict swaying - Ig style for a year, then Le - rather than infertility. This site has been absolutely wonderful and there is so much support here.

Thank you dream of pink its nice to know others have the
same thoughts and feel the same way as I do.
In my heart I always wanted 3 children but I know I couldn't
take the chance of it being another boy. My youngest is
now 6 and I thought time would heal but I'm feeling the
emptiness and longing more every day for a daughter I
don't have. I can't seem to overcome this I hate gd being
part of my life. I wish these feelings would disappear and
let me be at peace. Dh has agreed to go high tech,
he dosent know much about the process but is going
along with things to keep me happy - I would prefer a
good sway but am terrified of it failing.

How do you all reconcile the feeling of wanting a DG as I believe God does put those desires in your heart with what you get from God?

I've never really thought of it as God putting desires into my heart, I guess. I feel like the basis of a DG is what we "imagine" the relationship with that child would be like and the way we "imagine" it will make our family perfect. I know everyone's beliefs are different, but I believe that those desires come mostly from society instead of God and that God will give us what we need.
