Honestly, I did want both boys and girls, actually wanted a boy for DS 1 and got him, and I feel very blessed to have the experience of pregnancy/birth without having the specter of gender disappointment hanging over my head. I have nothing but love and sympathy for everyone who has a strong gender pref. from the first child and do not have their dreams come true. Huge ((((hugs)))).
Let me tell you though, I do know of one woman in particular who had a strong, strong preference for boys from the beginning and did not want any girls, and she did overcome her GD to find peace - her name is Tamara and I think a lot of you know her. She had very severe GD and has overcome that and she did so before she conceived her son.
Also, I know of a dozen or more women from IG who ONLY wanted girls and would be green with envy over an all girl family. So don't assume anyone is pitying you at all or feel embarrassed, because a LOT of people would freely choose to have the family that you have.Last edited by atomic sagebrush; October 29th, 2011 at 11:31 AM.

Well it's easy to get over your GD when you get what you want after all. I remember tamara posted once she had a dream her DD2 was lost and she was looking for her, find her and got her home safe. And only after this dream she really got over her GD about DD2. And she already had her boy at that time or just know it was a boy Im not sure.But Im sure she said this.
I don't have GD right now but I wish to have a boy and if I get DD5 im sure I will have some GD...Im always thinking not to ttc...like it's not to late to stop yet.

This is SO true!
And not to be the debbie downer again, but I have to say again: when you don't know if you will ever have ANY baby again, you gain a new perspective on the gender thing. I used to feel like I wouldn't know how I would feel if I had a 3rd girl, and now, I would take a 3rd girl in a skinny minute. I would take twin girls. I totally know how you ladies feel, I just want to say that I hope everyone who suffers from some GD is able to step away from that sometimes and say, "You know what? I am F'ING lucky."

And by the way, so don't mean that to be snarky or anything....I just hope my perspective from not being able to get pg helps others deal with the gd.

Everyone who is able to have children should feel very very lucky, it's a great blessing.
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.
