I am trying to understand biorhythms for my upcoming sway. I conceived DS during a full Libra moon, but my biorhythm chart had my red line at the lowest point on the day I Oed. Does the red line not matter as much if the moon is full and in a masculine sign?
I'm planning on ttc in March and my O day should be March 11, 2013. This will be a new moon in Pisces, which I think is a good thing,...

Peaches, I have to tell you about my baby shower. I was still pg with my first son and dealing with extreme GD. My Mum and sister were cool about keeping the boy stuff out of it and making it a Christmas theme (it was around Christmastime) instead of boy themed.
I specifically put on the invite that I wanted neutrals because DH and I were going to try for a baby girl the following year. Wel...

Peaches, I have bought some pink baby clothes too. I did it because I am hanging on to the hope that there is a daughter in my future. I'm trying to get you access to the EGD board. Hang in there.

Couldn't read and run...I'm so sorry to hear all of this. Gosh, I have no idea what I would do in your situation. You said he's getting therapy. What kinds of things do they suggest for him? Do they actually help?
I would totally put him in front of the ipad all day long if that kept him quiet and gave me a break. You have to consider your own sanity. I wouldn't consider you a bad mom at ...

Could not read and run badonewaiting...You handled that much better than I would have. That comment probably would have triggered a massive shouting match between me and my in-laws, and I would have told them to get out of my home and never come back, so kudos for handling it with grace. Things are going to get better for you, even if you don't see it yet, they will improve, promise! We're work...

XYXY, you outlined the reasons why I don't post on the regular board anymore. We recently had a member who seemed at the end of her rope viciously attacked by self-righteous people who have no business even reading a GD board let alone posting to one because she was considering terminating her pregnancy. I'm so over the attitude of some of the frequent posters here. Those women (who I am not go...

To Junemoon and all of you still waiting on access to the EGD forum: Hang in there! We understand where you're coming from and we don't pass judgement. On the contrary, we're pulling for all of you. Hope you all start to feel better soon! *hugs*

[quote user="XYXY...sigh"]junemoon, I really wish you could just be in the EGD board now, or that I could PM you. Life with EGD is misery, and people who haven't experienced it just don't understand. I thought about purposely driving into the opposite lane of traffic after finding out that DS2 was a boy. I was devastated. I had a positively wonderful DS1, but I knew DH was as sure as he could ...

I'm not spending any more time on this site. The OP put the question out there about finding out the sex of a fetus as early as possible and considering terminating the pregnancy if it turns out to not be their DG to see if anyone else was considering doing that option. I gave my honest answer and wanted to make the OP aware that CVS/FISH testing was available around 10 weeks with results within...

CVS testing *can* cause miscarriage, but from what I've researched this figure only hovers around 1-2ish% of all women who have the test done. Apparently the more experienced someone is at doing CVS testing, the risk decreases. So, if you're considering CVS, I would strongly recommend talking with your doctor about your desire for CVS with FISH (which will get you results on gender and a few...

For me, it's a lot of very personal reasons. I actually only have one child - a boy, and am still dealing with horrible GD for a multitude of underlying reasons. To avoid writing a book in this post I'll leave it at that. If I conceive another child it is going to be my last. I can't imagine going though another pregnancy and raising another boy so in the event that it is a boy, I would ...

Fourth&Final - I'm kind of in the same boat as you - would consider terming if my next child isn't a girl. I'm planning on doing a CVS/FISH test at 10 weeks to see one way or another the next time I am pregnant. The CVS/FISH test is expensive but very accurate, so I'd suggest maybe looking into that if you're considering terming. I wish you the best of luck with everything. *hugs*

I am considering IVF/PGD through them if we decide to go that way to conceive another child...but their website seems almost too go to be true... The costs posted don't include medications for IVF so keep that in mind. Those by themselves seem to come out to 3K per cycle. If anyone has gone through them please let us know. Thanks!

One of my biggest regrets in life is finding out the sex of my baby at our ultrasound. When I found out I was having a boy, I was completely crushed and my in-laws took every opportunity they could to rub in my face that I was having a boy and they were right blah blah...It ruined my pregnancy and left me feeling very depressed and terrified to have the baby. When he was born though, it was like...

The point of my post was to illustrate that spending time with little girls doesn't make me not want my own daughter, it makes me want one even more. While I love to play with my nieces and the other little girls in my life, they belong to someone else, not me. At the end of the day they go home to their mothers because they are not my daughters. So no they won't call me Mommy and I won't wake ...

I am on the opposite end of the spectrum. The more time I spend with little girls and seeing little girl stuff and playing with little girls, the more my heart aches for my own daughter. It's so painful to see beautiful little girls dressed in girly pink things (especially Hello Kitty and princess stuff) and playing with dolls and tea sets and reading the princess fairy tales. When I feel sad a...

*Hugs for you* Sorry to hear about your hysterectomy. I can understand that it would be painful to have a part of you that gave life to your children is no longer a part of you, but I'm sure there was a good reason why you had to have it done. On the plus side, congratulations for never having to endure another period again! That in itself is a good thing, right?
I hope you are healing ...

My son is almost 5 months now and I'm already missing the feel of a newborn. Babies are so wonderful. I just love the bitty baby hands and feet, the big toothless baby grins, the loving coos, the curious stares and that new baby smell. Newborn babies are sooooo darling. Congrats on your new little one and enjoy the bittyness when he arrives. :)

My son is now almost 5 months old. I love him dearly and he is so little and sweet and funny and cuddly, and such a darling little baby, I thought I was over my GD but after I've spent a bit more time with boy toddlers I was reminded of why I was feeling so much fear and pain related to GD in the first place. I didn't write the passage below, but this does a good job summing up my fears:

For what it's worth, for those people that seem to have the perfect problem free life...you never really know what happens behind closed doors. Maybe her life looks perfect, but who knows what her life is really like and what really goes on in her head. :/ Anyway, I hope you have a better day. *hugs*

I've been trying to find some new clothes for my baby over the course of the past 3 hours and I feel like my entire day is ruined. I'm so sick of seeing so many darling little things and frilly skirts and hello kitty tops and tutus for baby girls and boys get nothing but blue and sports and dinosaurs driving dump trucks. I have found a whopping 3 things during my past 3 hours of hardcore online ...

Well, I was hoping that I was completely over the GD thing but here I am again.
I am happy to report that I had my baby a few months ago and I love my son dearly. I love holding him and cuddling with him and breastfeeding him. He is so bitty and darling (not what I expected from a baby boy at all) and I can tell he has a cute and sweet little personality. I don't see him being one of those t...

Yes, yes, yes, yes and YES! I've done quite a bit of research into HT and even though it can be a long, hard road to travel, if things get better for us I will do everything possible to make sure that my next baby is the little girl I want so badly. I've been thinking about my next baby since the day of the ultrasound. I'm so depressed that it's one of the only things that keeps ...
