My brother and SIL were trying for about 5 years and gave up. Then after 3 attempts on clomid they were able to conceive. Sadly my nephew was still born at 24 weeks. It made me feel so guilty about my fertility and healthy babies.

Fertility and easy conception is a GREAT blessing, it really is. I took mine for granted when I had my 2 girls back in my 20s, when I was with my ex-husband. But now, going through this for nearly a year and a half, I can tell you that it is HELL. It is soul destroying, because you cannot escape the myriad of friends and pregnant women everywhere....and suppressing the desire for a baby is damn near impossible. I am thankful that I am to a secure point where I am genuinely happy for my friends (both cyber and IRL) who are having babies, so it is not a constant world of envy. But none of you guys should feel guilty for your fertility, just thankful! And that perspective and gratefulness will hopefully benefit those who happen to get an opposite. I guess that is just my wish for you all, my cyber pals.

Thanks, mama! :kiss:

This is a great thread! I have 6 girls. I have never had gender disappointment though i would love to have at least one boy. NBP said some great stuff about raising girls that i totally agree with. We raise our girls to be strong and independant. They all play soccer and softball.

I am trying to sway boy for our next one but honestly i have this gut feeling i am destined to only have girls. I am ok with that though. I really just feel blessed to be able to have children so easily. They say it takes a special person to raise a daughter. So i must be REALLY SUPER SPECIAL! LOL!

Hi everyone

I am a new member. I am a mother to two beautiful girls.

I tried to boy sway with my second child, but it was not meant to be.

My partner and I have decided to have a third attempt at having a boy and I am madly swaying so crossed fingers!

I had gender disappointment with my second child, to the point that I thought I should talk to a counsellor. I am terrified that my next child with be another girl. I love my girls with all my heart, but this is not what I pictured.

Here is hoping that I managed to sway the odds in my favour this time :)

Hello Zebaniee, I give you my sis plenty blue dust this time. Infact this goes to every one on this forum. Hope you have a great sway this time. Have you ever wondered if you are affected by those ions, biors, moon phases/signs? I have often read on IG where people have fantastic sway but these things mess everythn up. Not everyone is affected by them though. But you can look up your previous kids and see if you are affected or not. HTH

Good luck!

Wow, I'd just like to thank everyone for this thread. DH and I plan to have a large family so we know we have a few shots at having a son. I do want daughters as well as sons, but I fear that if I don't have that little boy, I will face gender disappointment.

This thread has been helpful to me as well because I've recently faced some other disappointment in my life and I've been pretty much raging about that, thinking, this is not how my life was supposed to turn out! But perspective is everything and hopefully if I face GD I will be better prepared to grieve and move on in a healthy way.

I can't thank everyone enough for being so candid. Hugs to all.

I am also mummy to 2 beautiful daughters and swayed blue with my second daughter only to suffer great gender disappointment at my 20 week scan.
I walked out of the hospital on the day of my scan and burst into tears and couldn't stop crying all evening. I was so convinced that as I had swayed we would have a boy this time and had built myself and my hubby's hopes up so much, we were so devastated when we found out it was another girl. Up until the birth I kept wondering if the ultrasound technician had got it wrong and kept googling 'incorrect gender predictions at ultrasounds'!!!
My daughters are beautiful and precious little girls and I felt so guilty at what I had felt when DD2 was born; I felt other ppl around me had all hoped she had been a boy too ("its always nice to have one of each") and I cried to my husband afterwards that maybe she would grow up effected by the fact I had not wanted her enough when she was inside me. I think I have tried to compensate for what I felt when I was pregnant with her by showing her all my love and lavishing her with attention now she is here and I can see what a beautiful bundle of joy she really is.
I do feel guilty still that I reacted the way I did when there's ppl out there that can't even have children or have lost a child...but my Gender disappointment and preference is personal to me and I still think that I would act the same way if I went thru it again. I pray to God that He still blesses us with our son and my prayers are to complete our family with a baby boy.
Please send your prayers, love and blue dust our way and good luck to you all trying to sway x

I also had huge gender disappointment at my 20wk u/s with my 3rd, I swayed so damn hard for a whole yr before attempting & I still ended up with a girl, but fast forward and she's now 15mths and she's a true blessing, she is my everything.

I still have days where I will see a mother with her little boy, this can make me feel sad:tissue:
