Well...since my GD is just residual I guess it doesn't count? [/quote]
Not to make waves here or be a total hormonal b**ch as I am pregnant too....but....
It's not that residual gender desire doesn't count. I think people who had EGD and go on to get their desired gender gives many many of us hope. So don't be so sensitive...

And THANK you for a candid post defining GD. Very entertaining.

I agree with your husband. Wait a couple of months before you conceive again. ONLY because you should work thru some of this emotion you have now. The reason I say this is that there are many people who go on to get their desired gender either thru PGD or natural selection. Sometimes those women who had EGD feel a sense of guilt while pregnant with their desired gender.&nbs...

Same thing here (but for a girl). I bought 2 girl outfits this go round. Thought for sure my dream was right (had a dream where my father told me I was having a girl).
Well ultimately I'm having another boy, so I sent the outfits to my SIL who is having her first girl. It was too painful to keep in the house. And I had to get her something anyway. How hor...

However. it looks like we are not alone. We are all together in this. Life is not guarantee and gender is all about science and luck of the draw. We are only human, we can not avoid pain and disappointment. We can not have everything we wish for. I hope together in this forum, we can find peace.
Many hugs and tears your way...

See, I don't understand mothers sometimes. This bothers me too. And for this statement alone, I'd not go. Even if it won't happen, if you think there is a possibility they'll favor the boy ...

If DS2 would have been a girl I would have gotten my tubes tied. Instead, I had a twinge of doubt and didn't do it. Then 11 years later (after halfway coming to terms with my GD) I ended up pregnant (surprise) with DS3. We only planned on two but after DS3 was born (12-28-09) I got "girl fever" again and didn't have them tied (I'm 40 - I must be crazy...

I always wanted 3 children. But my first pregnancy was so difficult, I didn't think (nor did the Drs think) that I should go on to have more. So when I made the decision to have a second, I fully expected to have a girl. So at that moment, if I knew it would have been a boy, I would probably have had only one. UNTIL, I matured enough to see what a duplicate gend...

Here's what you do.....dig deep within your strong self and call them back. Ask for a refund and if you are uncomfortable doing that, PM me and I will do it for you. I assure you, I'll get you, your money back.
First, you should have been notified if your u/s would be part of a "training" session. Even barbers and hair dressers let their clients know that they are st...

Totally and completely understandable = your feelings. Have the same feelings myself a lot of the time. Today I woke up so depressed thinking that I am not carrying a girl. It boggles my mind at times. I can't even say it's been a dream, it's been my lifelong expectation that I'd have a daughter. I totally and completely expected to have one.
I don't unde...

It didn't happen that way for me. I had a miscarriage between each one of my boys...and always fell pregnant within 2 months....have two living boys and one on the way.
Seriously, think it's just like flipping a coin, every time you BD.
I did wonder however if any of those miscarriages would have been my girl....I'll never know.

Yes, I did go to a counselor; right after DS2 was born. And yes it really helped me. Mine was due to GD as well. That was 8 years ago.
Fast forward, 8 years later I'm pregnant again with, of course, another boy. I fall back on the conversations and what I learned to help me get thru this pregnancy. I still have GD, and when I found out about this one...

First and foremost, you are NOT a freak. If you are, than I am too, as well as many other women here. I can tell by your post that you are a well grounded, rational person. I don't know why it is hard for some of us to get our longed daughter or son. I question God everyday and I don't think it's sinful to feel what you and I feel. &nbs...

In India and China ofcourse it will be more boys but in the US I think it will be more girls. From what I understand most people want pigeon pair or only girls. Very few want more than 1 boy. So it might end up being a country with more girls.

I do agree. For a while girls would dominate in the U.S. But I could then imagine it cycle and m...

I really like Kellen. Not at all close to Caden.
I'm at a loss too. I know I'm having a 3rd boy and it isn't easy after you've had more than one.
Landon isn't popular at all where I live, near chicago. At least in my circle of friends. Owen is huge here in the past couple of years.
I like Carlisle, but anyone who knows Twilight would razz me about it....

See that's what I got out of that thread too. I didn't think any one of us telling her how great our DS are were going to change her mind about a boy. FI, I think we were in the minority here.

I think you can be respectful and supportive and still disagree with the abortion/miscarriage thing. When you look at the post in question many posters said they understood where the OP was coming from, but all of them said they didn't regret having their GD children and most encouraged her not to abort. I don't think anyone was agreeing with her by saying, "yeah b...

I've posted about this before as well. I think more often than not this forum is more of an enabler than any kind of actual help. [/quote]
I've read poster's say this before and didn't really get it until this past hot topic. We shouldn't be enabling people to continue down the path, we should be helping people get over to "rise".

After you've already had more than say 2 boys or 2 girls, how do you come up with a name? We've been stumped on our DS3 name since the beginning probably because we never thought we'd have a 3rd boy....
Seriously, I'm sure it happens to mom's who have 2 girls and a thrid on the way. But I'm having a 3rd boy and need help.
My problem, names that I like, other friends...

Yes actually I did have that with my niece several years ago. I use to watch her and I'd always imagine how I'd be with an opposite (girl in my case). Eventually, as she aged I got over it and now when she's here, it is so obvious she isn't my daughter. Not only by looks, but the bond isn't there like it is with my own kids.
Did I tell you, you can have all my blue baby dust?&nb...
