I was referred to this group by a buddy in another group. I sincerely thought I was the only one who is secretly disappointed by not getting the gender desired. I have two boys, Logan, 16 mths, and Kaden, 3 mths. I , as so many of you out there, love my kids with all that I am, but, I feel that I am missing something, a girl. I find myself looking at all the girl clothes and shoes when I am out shopping, when actually I am supposed to be looking for boy things. I resent the fact that I didn't give birth to a girl, blame my husband sometimes (secretly), blame myself for conceiving right on the day I ovulate, and I hate those feelings. I should be happy, yet I tear up really easy when I think about it, read articles on girls, see moms/dads with their girls, etc. I get real happy when anyone I know has a boy, and upset when they have a girl. I feel guilty for having these feelings and I have not said much to anyone cause even my own mother says "two boys are all you need", so she really doesn't understand my feelings. I hope that coming here I can find solice in reading and posting, and maybe even get some ideas on using methods to increase my chances of conceiving a little girl. I have no clue on any methods at all, lol, and only know the "old fashioned" way!!

Thanks for reading this, and I hope to meet some new friends,

Lorie

First let me say welcome and this is such a great place to come and confide in our secret GD.  I also have two boys that I love to pieces and I am hoping and praying for  girl someday!  Stick around and you'll get lots of good advice and support here

Hi Lorie and Welcome!!!  This is a great place for support and you'll definitely find that you are not alone in your feelings.

 Hi Lorie,

Welcome. There is a lot of great info on this sight about swaying. 

Welcome!  I found this site back in February when my boys were 3 1/2 and 1 1/2, so a lot like you!  I was also so happy to find out that I was not alone.  This site has been so helpful.  (A tiny bit about me- maybe to give you hope- I read all about swaying here, started TTC in March, and got pg the first month with what I'm told is a little girl.  It can happen!)

First of all, congrats on your baby girl!!  What is "swaying"? And where do I find out the info on it? Thanks again for your acceptance, I am "really" Hoping that these methods work =)

Welcome Lorie!

Hi Lorie,

You are soooooo not alone in your feelings of GD (gender disappointment). I have felt for YEARS that something was missing in our lives---a daughter. I too have felt sad when I see other parents with a girl or girls, etc.

Keep reading all you can on this site. I've been researching for 7 months now how to TTC a girl. I know so much more now than I ever have. Now I know EXACTLY why I have 3 boys!   It is fascinating! This is my first month to TTC a girl and even though I know it is not a guarantee I can say I did everything I could to "sway" the odds. Swaying is intentionally altering your body pH, timing sex or other methods according to Ovulation (see "gender Swaying " in the forums section and go to FAQ----you'll learn so much about the different swaying methods!), and eating differently to increase the odds of getting pg with your desired gender.  You'll be amazed at all the things you can do.

Congrats on your newest little one. It is so special that your Logan has a little brother.  My oldest in named Kaden too! He is 8 1/2 and spelled just like your Kaden. Enjoy them because it goes so fast. But yet, if this desire to have another one doesn't go away then consider what you can do to sway the odds in your favor! GL and hope this helps! Kristen

Hi Lorie, I also have two boys 5 and 21 mos...and have the same feelings as you! I find this site to be helpful! Are you considering Microsort?

Lorie,

Welcome! I could have written your post when I first came here. I have two boys, now almost 8 and almost 5. I also thought I was alone and felt guilty about my feelings. Finding this site was such a relief to me, first just knowing that I am far from alone, and second finding so much wonderful information. I wish you all the best in your quest for a girl. You have come to the right place.

All of you replies to my introduction have been so sweet, I feel so welcome here I just need to learn how to "get around" this site better!   I am starting to take "girl" supplements, is it ok to take them for a few months before ttc? I am not sure , thanks for your answers!

 Hey there, welcome!!! This is definately the place to let it all out - good and bad!!! Soo many supportive people here and heaps of info - you will love it!!! 

ps. don't feel guilty about your feelings - we have all felt the same way (hence the reason we are all here)!!!!
