Pink or Blue

wow, you're really lucky and, an exception i think! too think that TMPOB and fortune baby and intelligender all got it wrong! you really were meant to have your girl Alyssa! ideally, we just wanted a boy and a girl and if this was a girl we were going to stop at two... but now i just don't know. i feel like i won't be totally happy until i get my little girl. so we're seriously considering PGD next time if this is a second boy. there is no way we are leaving it to chance for a third time and getting a third boy. No way! and after 3 boys, who would have the energy and willpower to go for it a 4th time, especially someone who wanted two kids max? a big part of me would even have been happy with one child and my son totally completes me in every way; he is an angel sent from above. but i think that in the long run, two children, a boy and a girl, would make me really complete. yeah, if you got a girl next it would really be cute and practical for your daughter... what's the age difference between your son and daughter? P.S i have heard that swaying is a complete waste of time! i know people who tried shettles and special diets etc and it just did not work.

Tatiana, but that's what I really want you to know...I don't think I'm that much of an exception...those companies make you feel like you are because they post fake odds like 95% but really that's not true!   The odds were only 50/50!  Then in your head you think, "Well, I must be having a boy, because they are right 95% of the time and I would never be that lucky to be in the 5% they get wrong."  BUT THEY HAVE TO GET AT LEAST 40% WRONG.  When I came to this site there were 3 other women who took the test the same time as me and we all were waiting for all ultrasounds together.  We all got boy results and wanted girls.   3 of the 4 of us had girls!!!  That's 75% error rate!  Just between a couple of people.   And if you've searched the threads here, another poster, Dazie (who got wrong results too) put together some statistics to see how right they were, and it was even below 50% correct.    If you are carrying a boy, they just got lucky!  I really hope you get your little girl, sounds like your family would be so complete!

ohh, and the swaying thing...I swayed for DD with my first, and it obviously didn't work...then when I got pregnant with DD (was a surprise) in theory she should have been a DS.   So, both my kiddos are probably shettles opposites.   But I was going to try more of the supplements this time.    Doesn't hurt I guess, I'm not completely sure I want another, it's just hard to close that door right now.............

Hi Girls,

Firstly-thanks Alyssa for giving me some hope re the tmpob test. I now believe that even if the test is correct it is just luck. I truly wish I had never done the test as it has really messed with my head and my my pregnancy so far has been miserable!That being said-I just had my 12 week scan and a really good scan showing no boys bits just yet-so there is some hope. Every now and then,I keep thinking 'but they must have found some Y dna'..but I have had two boys in the last 3 years...maybe there is still some still floating around anyway!!My only other concern-is surely if they keep failing tests they would change the 95% rating and/or just close down....dunno...but I hope their result is wrong and I can write them a very long letter.

 With all the cake and sweets I am eating this is gotta be a girl right!!!

T-if you have a second boy-don't worry. I was also upset at boy number two but now wouldn't change a thing.They are great friends and we have so much fun.Hope that helps a bit. But I know how you feel-I really hope this is the last for me and a little girl would be a dream come true.....anyway good luck to us all. I might do another scan at 15wks and keep you posted.

good luck Shelleyanne!  I hope no boy bits show up... (You probably have a good chance...I knew my DS was a boy at 13w4days, it was very obvious)

Thanks Shellyanne! i feel the same way! with all the cakes and sweets and food i am eating i keep thinking it's got to be a girl! i really was not into sweets at all with my son and generally, i wasn't more hungry than normal. i only gained 15 pounds with my son! i know, it's crazy but i swear i was eating really well. it's just that i wasn't starving or pigging out (which i am this time). and, he ended up being on the big size, 7 pounds, 10 ounces, regardless of my little weight gain! i am having such a different pregnancy this time. i also had no morning sickness with this one although I did have it with my son. so because so much is different i can't believe that it could possibly be a boy.. but you know, i've heard from my doctor and other friends that already have had two babies, that you can have completely different pregnancies and the sex can still be the same! i have two friends who had two boys and their two pregnancies were very different; they were sure it was a girl the second time, but, it was a boy AGAIN! i know what you mean though about the great friends thing. i see it with other friends who have two boys. i do know that if the second is a boy, my two sons will be best friends, eventually!
