Thanks everyone for your replies.
I think the position is a bit too curved also to be able to guess acurately and ive looked at lots of the boy and girl nubshots and can find examples in both that look the same, I guess if the nub were short and stujmpy and pointing up it would be easier to assume boy but I think at this early stage by what people are saying its a bit early to guess and...

And i forgot to add that in this country ultrasound techs and midwives seem a real miserable bunch, intent on taking what little joyand fun out of pregnancy there might be (little!). How hard is it to snap a shot if bubs is co-operating or tell you the heart rate when they are listening to it anyway?! It beggars belief.

Forgot to add, that the nub part did look like it had a forked end and it seemed long thin and pointy sticking up rather than short and stumy like some pics ive seen

Well im 11 weeks and 5 days according to scan and I couldnt help myself asking for a nub shot!! As the tech was not private and it was our local hospital as you can imagine she wasnt really all that interested - took all of 2 mins doing the scan plus laughed and disagreed with the nub theory.
I did manage to see a nub that was floating/moving about and pointing mainly upwards ( I...

Everyone is different some people have the same symptoms with one gender like I have up to now - with my boys I didnt feel sick and had a big appetite and with all of my girls I felt awful and sick I could predict what every baby was!
and some peopl experience different symptoms with each baby even if they are the same gender - I dont think anyone ...

In my personal experience having all boys and then all girls to a woman it seems more desirable to have all girls rather than all boys for some reason and the majority of posters on here seem to be all boy mums desiring a girl I think it seems that if a woman has all girls she seems to accept it and so does society and the PP is also considered to be the 'norm' if you have only boys like I...

Strange how everyones different - ive always been really nauseaous and felt awful when I had my daughters and felt healthy and had a big appetite and put loads of weight on when I had my sons! I think it affects us all differently I dont think you can really predict by symptoms so dont stress out thinking about it- thank god this time im feeling like its a boy I must admit that I k...

I didnt mean to sound like a hypocrite becasue I too need IG sometimes, I guess I meant that sometimes theres an appropriate time to come on IG and a time when all you are doing is making yourself feel worse I think before I was searching for closure that no one on IG could give me it was something I had to do myself in my own time and eventually after the hormones/d...

Thanks for your kind comments - I totally agree that when I was away from IG I too felt content with my 2 younger girls and especially with the new baby. I must admit that if I wasnt almost 41 I wouldnt have tried for another baby and would have waited im so happy that I have another chance to have a son and cant wait to find out as I too get upset when I read others getting their desired gender e...

As usual I will probably get slated for saying this because its not a sugar coated post.
Im back after a few months break because it just wasnt helping me reading others going through the same as me - I just felt SO negative. so I made the decision to stop logging onto InGender and it did help.
It was a relief actually as I was just spiralling into a really dark place -&nbs...

You know what helps me? The irrefutable knowledge that "No one has it all."

Yes, they had "perfectly" blended families.

It is normal to feel like you do because I eventually got a DD after 3 DS and then got married again and now desperately want a DS I think situations can sometimes change for people and the GD doesnt go away - I also felt a bit resentful towards those people with PP as its so easy and lucky getting one of each 1st time and it still makes me jealous!
On the other side though I was part o...

You can put me in if you like.
As T said, people may not want to talk to me as I have both.

Count me in too - I have both and I have extreme GD plus I wouldnt have a problem talking to someone who has both genders even if I didnt!
(coming from someone who had only 3 boys for 10 years)

I once again realise that some people get exactly what they want. How do they do it and what does that feel like. Do they even realise??? Another friend fell pg unplanned, all she talked about was "hope this is a girl". She openly admitted it, I would be too scared to even speak it out in case I jinx myself - and she got a GIRL! I hate her!

Yep sounds like my house. Some days I feel like I'm going to go crazy in my house full of all these boys. I had GD with my 3rd and 4th sons, but by the time number five came a long...I just sort of expected it. In fact I didn't even want to know what I was having, I knew it was going to be a boy. I wasn't supposed to peak at my ultrasound - the tech was to wri...

Hi all
Well I had forgot all about my guilty secret until I read this post! I did the same and went for a secret scan with my 1st DD - I havent to this day admitted this to my ex husband or anyone. It was just something that I needed to do for myself!
And I dont regret it or have a conscience as it didnt hurt anyone so go for it girl if you really want to! and good luck!!!!!!!

Hi Aniakonda, funny how this website has so many different views on it! I have a PP just now, and whilst I dearly love my DS and wouldnt trade him now for the world, I never wanted a PP!!!!! I wanted what u have - 2 girls at least. I tried again hoping for another girl, but now think its another boy. All around me are 2 girl families, or 2 girls 1 boy. That would ha...

Many of us know exactly how you feel and it is acceptable to feel this way so dont be guilty.
Ive even considered having an abortion if I find out our next baby is another girl! I just couldnt stand psychologically the effect that having yet another girl would have on me and my other kids - its not selfish to feel how you do and I think you should do what is best for you afterall you are the one ...

Pink ladies I know what you mean but I think she would have probably said nothing if she was jealous I had 2 DD it was just the smug way she loudly said 'your BROTHER needs his feed' I could just tell that she was one of those gloaters.
Thanks Trixiebug for the offer [;)]

I think it can be external and internal at the same time.
I think we're an "all American 2 kids and a dog" cheesy couple and it annoys me that we're that couple. I want to be cosmopolitan and fantastically interesting, darn it! hee hee hee. We want whatever It is that comes along with parenting both genders. And so...I guess in that...
