scaredtotryfor#3

Hi,

I know exactly how you feel. Whenever someone is pregnant i always hope that they will have a boy so I wont have to feel that horrible jealousy. I am a mother of two boys and I long for a daughter so bad it hurts. I just want to be able to enjoy the two wonderful kids I have and I hate myself for feeling this way. Im so scared to try again with the fear of another boy. My sister in law just told everyone she is pregnant i am so happy for her but in the back of my mind im thinking i wonder if she will have a girl. It must be really hard for you with everyone around you having girls. Alot of people i know have had boys so it has made it a little easier. Your lucky my husband will not go the high tech method yet. He says lets try one more time. I have been browsing this web site for a couple years trying to figure out which way to go. I feel very overwhelmed lately. Can you tell me a little more about ivf. How much does it cost and where do you have to go.  Thanks for listening to me vent also . It really helps.

 Lots of luck

Tina, my personal definition of a saint is someone who can be truly happy for you, when you have something they want very badly but can't have themselves. 

And as much as we all want to be, we are not saints, we are just human.  Sometimes we don't have the feelings we wish we had, we have emotions we are not proud of.  If you hold that inside, it can turn into bitterness.  I think if you recognize it, and try to work through it, you are on the right path.  Realize that is is a normal emotion, and you don't have to feel guilty about it, but that you shouldn't let it rule you, or let it come between you and your family.

Hi Tina, I feel exactly the same way also, I am so terrified of my sister having a girl that I am desperate to get pregnant first, I feel so ridiculous that I am jealous of the "possibility" that she will have a dd before me. She has just started trying to conceive and she showed me some of the baby things she had bought and most were pink! I left feeling so angry with her for even entertaining the idea that she might have a girl.
The thought of her giving my Mum and Dad a granddaughter makes me want to leave the country!I feel like such a horrible person, especially as most people think we are so lucky to have 2 healthy little boys after what we went through ( We lost our firstborn baby girl to SIDS). I know this is true but the longing for a dd is getting stronger. My parents think I just want my firstborn back, and of course I would give anything for that to happen, but I feel it is 2 separate issues now.I lost my baby, but I also lost a daughter.As much as I love my boys I want all the things back that go with having a girl too. Life is so unfair!
No one seems to understand this! Thank goodness I found this site!
Thanks for listening,
Girltalk.

I feel the same way...I am pregnant with # 3 and have been blessed with a baby girl this time, I did have to do much research and "swaying" in order to concieve a girl this time though.  My younger sister, who is 8 weeks behind me in her pregnancy, just found out that she is having a girl, it's her first, and it's just frusterating.  I keep telling myself that I need to just focus on myself and be greatful and thankful for my longed-for daughter on the way, but it still bites at me.  It seems like everything I have to wait for and work for in life is so easily recieved by her with less than half a thought on her part.  I love my sister dearly and hope the best for her, which is why I am filled with guilt...I don't know what to do to change my thoughts....
