Re: what to tell people when I get pregnant after husband has had a vasectomy

[quote user="nuthinbutpink"] If he was going to get a reversal, my guess is you would be talking about it to everyone beforehand so to suddenly say he got a reversal sounds silly. [/quote]   We have not told anyone but my mom about our reversal.  I don't want anyone else to know (unless we are successful of course) and I certainly don't want anyone feeling sorry for us or ...

Re: what to tell people when I get pregnant after husband has had a vasectomy

I would definitely go with telling people the reversal story.  IMO It's much more believable.      I am sort of in the same shoes but I worry that people will think I have done high tech if our reversal is successful and we achieve a pregnancy.  Especially if we have a little girl.  I just feel people will think we lied about the reversal and did...

Re: Can you understand the other side's point of view, or not?

The only time I cannot relate at all is when women want ONLY boys and nothing else.  I have two sons and something still feels so missing from my life so to me I just cannot relate to how anyone would wish for that family makeup.

Re: Do you think siblings have a closer bond the closer in age they are? POLL

I do think that the age gap can make a big difference in how close siblings become.  My sons are 4.2 years apart and they have sadly never been close.  It always seemed like they were just at such different phases because of the age gap, that they never seemed to have much in common.  When I was pregnant with my second son I felt SO happy about giving my son...

Re: I ONLY want another baby if it is a girl...=(

I totally understand where you are coming from.  However, I wish beyond anything that I could turn back the clock and have just went ahead and tried for a third YEARS ago.  I would be happier with 3 sons (knowing that at least I tried for a girl).  Now look at me as an example.......two GROWN sons and still wanting a third for my chance at a daughter.  Gende...

Re: Why our mothers will never get it...

Yeah my mom will never truly get it because she had girl/boy and she was done.  She also wanted a boy really bad for her second baby and that's what she got.  She tries to understand but she says she would have been just as happy with a second girl.....yet she never had to find out if she truly would have been.

Re: Do you think things were better before gender scans?

I didn't have one single sonogram in my first pregnancy (22+years ago) because it was not routine back then, unless they suspected a problem.  So my doctors had no idea that my son was coming breech.....I still cannot figure that one out to this day!  My water broke and I had to lay in labor for hours with a breech baby that had a 0% chance of ever coming out on his o...

Re: Any mature mamas TTC a boy Sept-Oct-Nov?

I'm 39.5 and will be trying to conceive a girl very soon.  My dh is 42.  This will be our absolute last shot due to our ages and the fact that my health is not the best.  I have two grown boys so I will be literally starting over from the beginning.....totally scary!  If we had the money for high tech I would highly consider it but we cannot even take o...

Re: Rabies exposure shots

Personally I would continue with the shots, even if that one bat comes back negative.  As remote of a chance that another bat came in and left.....I wouldn't want to take a chance with something as serious as rabies.  I knew a lady years ago that had two bats come into her home in one night.  The only way she knew was because her cat actually caught and killed them and&n...

Re: Is anyone else doing MS IUI?

Good luck!  I want to try MS/IUI (just once) SOOOO bad but due to our circumstances it is no longer an option for us.  I wish I could convince my husband to travel to Mexico but I must admit even I am a little afraid of that option.

1.  Pro-life.....but I must admit only for the last two years or so.  I spent the first 37 years of my life being staunchly pro-choice but over the course of many years my views drastically changed.  I realized that I leaned way more to the pro-life side and now identify as such.  I do however believe that medically necessary abortions should ...

Re: Who thinks it is wrong to try for another baby if you want the baby to be a specific gender?

I really do not think it's a good idea to only try for a specific gender.  That is why I have waited (or better wasted) all of these years to even consider trying for a daughter.  However, I am learning the hard way that living with the regret of never trying is just as hard to bare.  I'm just now to a place where I feel I can accept another baby boy into my life but I want a d...

Re: Who Else Is Seriously Considering High-Tech?

The only high tech I would consider would be MS/IUI but from what I have read on here the chances are very slim of actually becoming pregnant that way.  So that just seems like a huge waste of money.  It doesn't matter anyway as my dh would be post vasectomy reversal  and therefore probably not be a candidate.  If MS gets FDA approval in the VERY NEAR future...(Yeah r...

Re: all boy moms

When my boys were little I really didn't feel left out or bored with "boy" things.  I like other posters here liked my alone time (still do) and would usually just find other things to do when my dh would take my boys camping or to boy scout events.  I have to admit though that as my sons have gotten older I DO feel more and more left out.  For instance just last week my o...

Re: Do you ever wish you had not swayed?

I have decided after much consideration and thought that I will not be doing any swaying if we try for a girl.  It's been a hard decision for me to come to but in the end I figured out that deep down I don't really believe that swaying works.  Manipulation of millions upon millions of the tiniest cell in human body just does not sound plausible to ...

Re: What is your dream family make up and why?

I always wanted one of each...a PP in ANY order would have been great.  [XX][XX] would have been my next choice.  I really only ever wanted two kids and wanted to experience both genders if possible.  Now that I have 2 grown sons, I really want [XY][XY][XX]  I hate that I have put it off so long and that they will have a tremendous age gap.  However my two sons a...

Re: How old before you give up trying for gender of your choice?

Yes, I am in a similar situation.  I just turned 39 in April.  I thought I was over all of these feelings YEARS ago.  Even to the point that having a daughter was one of the furthest things from my mind but in my case my desire for a girl has only gotten worse with age :(  Now I literally feel like I am in panic mode!  As much as I want to be moving for...

Re: I didn't like Avatar!!

I'm so relieved to see that I am not alone in my feelings about this movie.  My dh bought it on Blu-ray and he absolutely loved it.  I however was only able to endure about 1 hour of it and had to go find something else to do.  To this day I do not even know how it ends and I don't care one bit to even go back and finish it!  Same thing with Twilight.....

Re: 19wk scan pic - what am I looking at here?? Are these bits?

I'm really surprised at all of the boy guesses because right away I thought girl.  I might just be bad at guessing these things.  I hope you are able to find out for sure.

Re: DH said this about c-sections...TRUE OR FALSE?

I have only had c-sections and bled very heavily after both of them but after my second c-section I had to have an emergency D&C one month to the day after, due to extremely heavy bleeding.  My doctor tried meds to stop it but it just would not stop!  I found out a few weeks later that the pathology report showed retained pieces of placenta.  N...
