How far would you go to possibly get the gender you want?

 I don't want to be told what to do, just want to know what everyone else might do.

So, I lost a full term girl and I am bound and determined to do everything I can to sway girl and I strongly believe in the gender moon phases (worked twice for myself and for other's I know). I'm doing Gonal-f with timed intercourse (dh has good count but way low morphology). This morning my E2 was 1300 and on the Right ovary I have a 21mm and 17mm follie. On the Left I have a 17mm and 16mm follie...all the rest are under 13mm. 

Okay, so this cycle didn't go the way I thought as far as schedule wise based on past cycles. I thought I would have triggered on the 5th to conceive in Cancer which is a girl phase. I was told to trigger tonight which would put me right where I didn't want to be, in Leo, the same sign my son was conceived in. I told you I'm superstitious about these things! If I wait till 6:30 tomorrow then I have a really good chance to conceive in the next sign, which is Virgo. 

I'm really really leaning towards going with my gut and doing the shot tomorrow evening instead of triggering tonight like the nurse said. If you felt really strongly about something, would you do what you feel or would you do what you are told? On the factual/reality part of things, if I did trigger tomorrow, everything should still be okay, right? Ohhhh, to go with my gut or to do what I'm told, I don't know which one!!!!

Not looking for someone to tell me what to do, just wondering if other people would go as far as not listening and doing what they want to get what they want!! If I went against my gut and conceived a boy, I'd love him to death but I'd never forgive myself.

It really depends on what you believe and what you could live with. If you could never forgive yourself for something you think you did to get a boy, then I'd advise to do everything you can to sway. I personally, don't believe in swaying. I believe we are given the children we are meant to have by God, not by something I did or didn't do. I'm also looking at it from an infertility standpoint in that I wouldn't do anything that would affect my ability to conceive or mess up timing of a cycle. I know not everything has faith like I do, so it really is an individual decision. I wish you peace with your decision and am so sorry for your loss. I lost my DD at 26 wks on 9-19-09.

Thanks for replying. I've been stressing over it all day and I've decided to just let the worries go. 

I did sort of compromise and I may be wrong for doing this and not triggering tonight, but I've done these cycles before and I don't really think an extra 12 hours is going to hurt anything, my estrogen was at an okay level today (was waiting on that to make a decision). I'll have hubby give me the trigger shot tomorrow morning (was going to wait till tomorrow night). I really think I have a great chance no matter what. 

Even though I lost dd a little over 3 months ago, I have never wanted something so badly in my life (besides dd of course) so I guess I'm a little emotional about going through all of this again and so desperate for a chance to have another girl that I'm grasping at anything I can at this point. I didn't care what gender my ds was and I didn't care what gender dd was, but things have changed and my life has changed and I want a dd!

Anyway! That's what I decided to do and I feel good about it.

I'm so sorry you lost your dd too. It's the worst hurt ever.

I'm glad you had a good plan in place and are okay with it. I'm kinda the opposite in that I'm scared to death to conceive a girl. A girl=heartache and loss to me. I'd rather have another boy than go through more pain like this. God bless you sweetie!
