Hello girls can I join you?

I am expecting my fourth after six years of wanting a dd and was on ig back before GD came into existence. I swayed hardcore for two years to get my ds who turned two yesterday. I to cried when I had my 20 week scan. Hard hard times.

I got a plan from atomic about a year ago but didn't sway this time :0/ due on the 17th of August and I have been following you all and lerking since I got my bfp!

Hi maybebabythree and welcome! Do you know which you're having yet? Hoping you get your pink bundle x

HT..I don't want to say its addictive, because every time you go threw it and it fails you swear you'll never do it again because the pain is just so severe emotionally, financially, even on your body.
But yet I kept going because I was like "if I just do it one more time it has to work". For me it never did. And the real blow was my final time when the doctor called me before my transfer to tell me that I didn't even have any healthy females to transfer and asked if I still wanted to come in. I chose not to. It was the day of my son's huge 7th birthday party at the house where all our family and friends were coming over and I sat in the bathroom half the day and cried my eyes out. I just felt so defeated, it was over for me. And more than that -- I have 9 embryos fertilized, 3 normals males and 6 abnormal males...they were all boys!! I just knew ht would never work for me and how many times was I going to try over and over and waist sooooo much money. There came a point where I had to say "stop" and be done because it was emotionally tearing me apart and draining our finances (we spent over $60k!). But to say stop I knew that chances were if I had a baby on my own again it would probably be a boy. If I couldn't get a girl ht then what was my chances of ever conceiving one naturally?
I cried and cried at the thought of how difficult it was going to be to start giving up my dream of a daughter and imagining life without one.
I'm in tears just writing this now....

what a story.. So sorry about there pain you have gone through on your journey.. I cannot even begin to imagine.. There are no words to say, as I know all we can do is sympathize with all the other women with same gender families who pray for their DG. You never know what God has planned for us.. So with all my heart I pray for you to have your miracle little girl in your belly. It sounds as if you have planned very well to hear either way. Again, thanks for sharing about your HT journey.. I think it benefits many women who think bc we are all fertile , that it will be a walk in the park. The doctors sometimes Give you a false sense of what the reality really is of going HT. Anyways, fingers crossed for you and sending you lots of love for your scan .

I had a NI DNA screening test with a draw of blood like maternity21 but with a different lab. I am do scared to belive my results. Three seperate ultra sounds confirm the sex but all before 17 weeks. We will see if it's right!

Welcome and congratulations on your pregnancy! 17th August is my birthday! Fingers crossed it's your turn for a pink surprise! x

PFP, thanks for the HT post. I did not go into it in details to find out what it entails, the website I went to made it sound pretty straight forward with high chances of your desired gender (at a very high cost!), but I had no idea how difficult the whole process can be. I'm glad I decided not to go there. I'm sorry for your heartbreak and emotional rollercoaster in this journey, and wish with all my heart this is your pink bundle. xx

What got me through is having 3 boys or all of one sex made me feel unique. And when I see other couples with 3 girls or 3 boys we relate and have something instant to talk about. They also 'get it'. Its when I heard a mum say yeah its our 3rd girl and my husbands devastated. Everyone else gasped that he had this reaction and I said tell your husband hes not alone in his feelings. GD is very real for men too.

I could not relate more to what you just wrote here.. When I found out just a few weeks ago that this was my third boy it was like the whole room turned black.. I couldn't even hear my doctor or think, or make the next appt. I felt so horrible about my reaction of nothingness that I got to my car and cried.. I got sad and then I went home and felt like is was totally okay. It's so beautiful to hear this connection with your third little one it makes me so happy and excited about meeting my little guy. I never in a million years thought having children and gender would lead me through such a wild emotional ride.. We did HT first time around and it didn't work.. We are going to do another time in a few years or when this new baby is prob 1 .. And I have the same questions clinic, will it work,, it's a whole new roller coaster. I have decided to just see it like this : I will have my three boys and it's perfect.. I will do my very best with ht and if it works it will be my miracle .. But there will be no stress or expectations .. And then .. There is always the option of adopting a little girl( I haven't discussed this one yet ) haha anyways best of luck and thanks for posting

All the best for your scan, for me I don't want them to say it I want them to write it so that I can open it later on my own with my husband - either way there will be tears. Don't mourn just yet, have faith xo

I'm so terrified to feel that way to on Sunday. But with everything I've been through I think I'll be ok either way. I've begun the whole process of mourning the loss of the daughter I will probably never have a couple years ago. And slowly over all this time I have begun accepting the idea that I might never have a daughter and am expecting a 4th boy. So hopefully if I hear "boy" it won't be such a shock or downer. Of course I wish with all my heart its a girl - you have no idea (although on this board you all kinda do) -- but I've had time to prepare myself.
I know how terrified you are though, as much as you can emotionally be prepared its still hurtful giving up a dream for good, and there is something to be said for "its final now and there is no next time", you know?
I just hope no matter what, we all come to peace with our outcomes...

[momof3boyz11]

Good luck with your scans this weekend ladies! I will be out hitting a ton of local consignment sales but will be thinking about all of you and praying your results are all that you hope for!!!
Fingers crossed!!!!
