I wasn't at all bothered about sex with my 2nd my hubby's family really wanted a girl but it wasn't to be and the pushed me and the children away. I really wanted a girl with my 3rd (didn't know about swaying) ended up with a 3rd boy.

I'm just thinking since pain is on the left that it is radiating from the right. I just wish I could find out now. The wait is going to kill me. The only differences that I've noticed are the light pee and I haven't developed an allergy to my wedding ring this time (happened with my 2 early miscarriages and with my son). I had read this happens most often with boys so I had a lot of hope bc of lack of that symptom too. Who knows.

BR, I'm so sorry she said that to you!!! I can't believe how incredibly rude some people can be, especially about the gender of someone's child! I hated the sad "oh another boy" comments I got from complete strangers with DS2. If you have a girl this time, be sure to laugh right in her face!

[Princess Mom]

Omg BR I would of pushed her lol seriously wow that was so rude of her!
I can relate my mom keeps bothering me making me feel awful to. Saying now I'm going to be fat again and what if it's a boy that my daughter gonna be mad! I'm like oh my thanks I feel so much better. And I'm not gonna get fat! Gee!!

[ksmom]

Wow Princessmom! I can't believe your mom would say that. Does she not have a filter? lol Telling someone they're going to be fat is very rude...you just don't say those things! Some people need to learn when to zip it.

BR, how awful of her to say that. I'm sorry.

DRV, I would think more likely from carrying your 35lb 2 year old around than anything having to do with what side you ovulated on or what gender of baby you're having. My 2 year old loves to still be carried too and is a solid size as well. I keep having to put him down and tell him he has to walk.

I know we always "planned" two of each so didn't care that the first two were boys. I looked into swaying for ds3 and found Shettles but nothing much else and that clearly didn't work out. Our ds4 was supposed to be our last and I hoped he would be a girl but we got pregnant while preventing and my 3 boys were all asking for a baby brother so I was more alright with him being a boy than with ds3 having been a boy. Convinced my dh to try for one more...and I was determined to do everything I could to get a girl. Ah well, whatever happens happens. I found a tshirt that says "we are hoping it's a dinosaur" because people are already asking if I hope we're having a girl. I do, but that is none of their business!

And yes id be mad if my mom said that too! I gained a LOT with my first so hoping this time isn't as bad. That was hell losing that weight!

I'm not seeing the original question here but for whoever asked, you cannot tell what side you ovualted from on the basis of O pains. You make eggs in both sides every month and the side that DOESN't ovulate can actually have worse O pain because it gets big and swollen and the pressure is not released when an egg pops.

You also cannot, cannot, cannot, to infinity and beyond cannot, tell where a tiny ball of cells the size of the period at the end of this sentence, lands in your uterus. If your uterus was that sensitive pregnancy and childbirth would be unbearably painful. When pregnancy occurs, the corpus luteum in your ovary where the egg originally came from starts churning out tons of hormones and this affects all sorts of things in your lower regions that increase blood flow, cause stretching and swelling, etc. Some sides stretch/swell faster than others and it also depends how your uterus is situated and even where your personal nerve endings are. This is the cause of those one sided pains, NOT where the baby has implanted.

I agree with atomic
But yes my mom always says these things lol, I mean I feel awful and yes I will honesty probably have GD if I have another boy, but it not me being selfish, not saying any of us being selfish. I'm human and I have feelings, and on top of it I am going thru a financial issue right now and just don't need the extra stress from family really I mean My younger sister told me to relax and not to worry that makes me feel better, then by someone saying I'm going to be fat and have a boy

That makes sense. I'm just freakin out because I was researching left sided groin pain and then noticed that every single person that said they had it on the left, had boys. Then a few chimed in and said they experienced it as well, however on the right, and low and behold all their babies were girls. And since it proved right my first pregnancy it has me pretty shook up.

[atomic sagebrush]

But the thing is, it's supposed to be LEFT SIDED pain that = girls and right side that = boys!!

This stuff doesn't work.
