 omg LTB, that was hilarious, and what a good underdstanding!

Love the stories!!!!my boys also prayed for sisters. My oldest has so many good sister stories, but my favorite is when he wanted to make a sister out of wood and trade her in at the church nursery for a real one!!!! We will also find out sex ASAP if I get pregnant. I'm like hearts......early 3d u/s etc. I also like the time to adjust to the gd. With ds2 it was pretty bad.......so bad I went to the salon a few hours after finding out and had 6" chopped off my hair. Cried for days, but of course love him to pieces. I actually bonded even faster withr him than my first.

Hi Ladies,

I am now in the 2WW.  Hope to see a bunch of BFP this month!!!

Haha! We do live 2 weeks at a time!!That is so true!

Tiff, so do I!!!

Af is on her way out,yay!!! So Im looking forward to seeing which one of these products lower my ph the best! I have 3 to try out. I should really be keeping a sway diary!

I am glad the topic of finding out gender came up cause I am still not sure what I will do. With my other 3 I found out, didn't even consider waiting but this time I am considering waiting. It is our last baby and I think it would be great to have that surprise. Also part of me thinks that maybe my GD if it's a boy wont be as bad if the baby is there. But on the other hand I am SO impatient I am not sure I could wait! And I know DH and boys would want to know. Also I know that I will have horrible GD if it's a boy and maybe I would want to deal with that ahead of time? Not sure yet but I've got plenty of time ;) So my oldest wanted a sister with my 3rd baby so when we found out we were having another boy he says "mom! Why did you do that?" Like it was my fault lol. Now both he and ds2 want a sister, not only cause they won't have to share toys but because they know how much I want a girl. Such sweethearts! Ds3 says he wants a brother and he will be my girl lol. Kids are too funny! Well at 1 dpo I don't expect to feel anything but man I have felt bloated all day! I haven't eaten that much but feel like a huge cow and my bbs feel swollen too. Must be from O but it's different for me. Let the obsessing begin! :)

 I too am enjoying all the stories. It's helping to pass the time just a bit faster!

I adore being pregnant and can't WAIT to be again! I have so much fun browsing baby stores and dreaming about the pink things, but also admiring the boy things. If I knew I was having a boy I wouldn't want to look at the cute girly things. When I'm pregnant is really the only time I enjoy it. Frankly, the rest of the time they just piss me off! My mom always wants to show me cute girl stuff and I HATE looking at it (unless I'm pregnant). So if I found out early in the pregnancy that it was a boy I would be losing out on all that fun.

With my first I had GD for sure. I would have liked to have 2 girls and be done, but here I am with 3 boys and trying for a fourth child. I remember being in the hospital after my c-section for my first and my best friend was visiting and holding my brand new DS and I pretended I needed a nap while she was holding him so I could just hide and cry. It was horrible. I didn't get to hold him right after he was born and I never even saw him naked until after we were home from the hospital. I think that all made it harder to bond with him. I have no clue how it would have been if he had been a she.

The second time around I really thought the baby would be a girl. In fact I got pregnant so soon after my first for two reasons. One: to try for a better birth because my c-section left me feeling like a broken person and Two: to try for a girl. My labor was AWFUL. 38 hours is just too long. By the time he was born (I did avoid the c-section and was extremely proud of my VBAC) I was way too tired to bond much. It was way better than the first time, though. I got to hold him right away and I was the one to announce his gender. I'm proud of the fact that in his birth video I don't SOUND sad that he's a boy, even though I know I was. I was riding a pretty big high because of the VBAC, that helped for sure. In a natural birth I think the hormones from birthing help somewhat to prevent GD from hitting as hard. I know it helped somewhat with my DS2 and LOTS with my DS3.

LOL- I love the story where your son wanted to carve a sister out of wood! Hilarious!!! Such sweet boys. So I'm getting down about the idea of swaying since reading something on Gender Dreaming that basically goes against everything on this website. Anyone else go there sometimes? I'm not a member there, but when I google search stuff, lots of times info comes up there. I'm still swaying, and sticking with what I've been doing, but feeling down about it all. I also had Gender depression with DS 2. Most of it turning pregnancy. It took me months and months to get over the fact that he would be a boy. I only was really ready to accept this just before he was born. I didn't bond with him until he was around 4ish months old. I loved him to bits, but didn't feel really really connected to him until then. This time, I feel like I will also get it bad if #3 turns out to be a boy too, but I'd dealt with it before so I know I can get through it. This might be bad, but I think we have a boy name picked already for #3. One we loved so much for #2 but didn't name him that. I DONT want to have to use it. Not settled on any girl names. I haven't ever needed to really PICK one from my list as we found out gender for our sons and their "anatomy" was so clear and visible we knew there would be no mistake on their gender. Any BFP news this am?

So, yesterday I posted that I thought I was suppose to ovulate yesterday but I didn't get a +OPK and my CM didn't look like raw egg whites.  I still didn't get a +OPK this morning but when I checked my cervix it was really low and hard.  Isn't that what happens just after ovulation?  I'm so messed up this cycle.  Granted, this is my first month really getting into all of this but I sure hope it won't be like this every month!

Hello! I am having so much fun reading your stories! I would definitely like find out the gender asap, with ds1 I found out at 15 weeks, it was super obviuos hahah. I have that moment recorded on video and my voice is just cracking, although I did a good job hiding my shock, since I didntnwant anyone to find out I was sad. Then I went to the bathroom and cried for 30 secs, washed my face, and came out with a huge smile hahaha. I didnt confess to dh that I cried until after the baby was born! And only he knows that I cried! After that I got home and started looking for cute boy stuff, after that I just tried to keep myself positive, happy and looking forward to meet my baby. I think finding out at birth would have made it a lot harder to bond. When he was born I was already in love with him and waiting for him like crazy with his beautiful nursery and all his new little clothes :) so this time, for sure I want to find out asap. Also I will not tell anyone that I am pg until I know what I will be having.. I want to skip all those "i thinks another boy" or "aww hope you get your girl, they are amzing" comments! So irritating! So my attempt is in august, i wish I could fast forward july haha. You guys are so lucky already in 2ww! Ohh and yes! Sometimes I do feel really discouraged about the whole swaying thing, i get horrible downers, really bad... My dh told me is he sees me that sad again he wont help, And he has been super supportive, but said he wont help do something that he thinks will get me depressed. When I feel like that I just pray more :) I really hope we all get our girls!!!!! Xxxx

Im a new to the group but read posts almost daily. I have 4DS ans adore them to peices! They r so precoius to me but i was very sad when i found out my 4th DS's gender. I know how u felt petitefille. For some reason pink never crossed my mind wih first 3 DS. But my 4th, i so desparately wanted pink and when i found out it would be anotherDS i cried, and cried! From 16wk sono till birth n still 1 year later it hurts. Thankfully i found u all and have been on ig diet for 5 weeks and following it 100%!!! Proud of myself for that! And lots and lots of praying!!!! Pink dust to us all!!!

Welcome Dreama! Are you soon ready for your attempt? With your sons, did you notice any trend in the way you were TTC? Best of luck!

Kats- lets hope the bloating is a good sign! I'm so impatient! I want O to hurry up but it will likely be more than a week away still!!! I need to hear some BFP news to keep me sane! Lol I wonder where ponytails is? She should be ready to test now right? So I cheated with a meal last night. I think it's still fairly girl friendly though. Canned tuna with a little light mayo and milk to make it more wet. I chopped cucumber up and put pepper in. Then made a toasted sandwich. It was YUMMY!

LTB I am impatient too, whoever said we live 2 weeks at a time is right on the money! I had some tuna as well over the weekend hope it's okay. I can't stand all the carbs on the girl diet. I also had protein shakes with berries, milk and yogurt, hope protein powder is ok I didn't use much. So what did you read on GD that has got you down? There will always be people doubting swaying but just look at the ladies on here that have gotten their girls, they believe this works! I was wondering about Ponytails as well, she should be testing soon I think!

Well, I'd tried to find it again to re-read it this am but couldnt find it. This lady named Atomic sagebrush there said that minerals dont help you sway, there is no charge to the cm or eggs or sperm etc. I couldnt find what she DID believe works for a sway other than abstain/fr release. Just has got me thinking that I'm right back where I started. 50/50 shot. I hope she's wrong. I know the stats here sure do show that it's not 50/50 when TTC a girl and swaying. It can up our odds to 70/30. I sure hope that's our case too! I passed lots of courses over the years with a 70 ish % I hope I can do it here too!!!
