I understand, but I am in a different boat. When i had my DD, I had hoped desperately for a son. My two SIL's then went on to both get a girl and then a boy in quick sucession, while my second child was a DD also. I felt so jealous, so envious and for years put off having another as I so desperately wanted a boy. Don't get me wrong, it took me some time, but i fell for my DDs hook, line and ...

Oh that is just....so sad....and mind boggling. Gives me cold shivers thinking about my 5 year old daughter and how she would look like that. How on earth did that little girls body cope, and hard to believe she was fertile at 5yrs...and then there is the awful thought of the father and what he did to this little girl.

I am so sorry about your miscarriage...it must be very difficult right now. When i was pregnant with my son (and I had told my DD's I was pregnant really early on) I had some bleeding and there was some serious concern over the pregnancy. I told my DD's that sometimes the seed that is growing to make a baby stays strong and keeps growing and sometimes, just like in the garden, it doesn't do ...

I am so sorry to hear about your lovely Mum, it must be so so hard. Please don't beat yourself up about still hoping that you will have your little boy, you are only human. For one thing, of course it is something you will think about still, and for another, your hope for your little boy is probably something you are focusing on to help cope with your Mum being so unwell. I really hope you g...

I so know how you feel.After finding out i was having my longed for son, I was then told the next day that he had a soft marker for an awful life threatening trisomy (he had a Fluid filled cyst in the brain called a chorois plexus cyst...I will never forget that word, it is etched on my memory). It really took away alot of the thrill and i worried myself sick about my lovely baby. I de...

At this stage I am done having kids (may rethink this later) but i still come here....you said in the first post that you are curious to know whether GD leaves a "residue", even after getting your desired gender. Thats a reallly good question. For me, it will always be part of my lifes tapestry. It is a complex thing, and so many difficult, challenging emotions come with it, before, du...

I am on the progesterone only mini pill, but I hate that i have to be so careful with timing, you know you have to take it about the same time every day. There is a new mini pill out called serazette or cerazette that i think i will change to though because its as effective as the pill with both eostrogen(?sp) and progesterone in it, but with out the nasty side effects and risks of thi...

EnglishRose, hang in there, you are not a horrible person, just dealing with some really difficult emotions and doing thebest you can I am sure. Please keep talking to us if it helps. no judgement here, just hope that you will soon start to feel better and see some light at the end of the tunnel. You will not be the first, nor the last, to plaster a smile on and tell untruths in order t...

CONGRATS!!! Hey, both my oops babies were girls, our planned one was a boy. Enjoy your pregnancy! You are so right, it is amazing to think of this little person growing inside of you...sigh...brings back memories of that amazement and just loving those scans and check ups. Take care and good luck fiding your OB.

Hi there, no I don't think you are losing your moral compass...you would not be so worried about considering this option if you were. I think when we sway for a certain gender and are so desperate for a certain gender that when we find that it is not to be you feel like your whole world is falling apart. Part of that feeling is the feeling you have lost a handle on things, lost control over ...

I don't get this either....surely the XYor XX cannot be influenced by a hormone, but only the appearance of the genitals? meaning that while the baby may look like a girl, DNA speaking, she is actually a boy....this is really a strange one...just thinking aloud...

I feel for you, GD is such a hard thing, sometimes it can feel totally consuming. Anyway you could high high tech for number three? Microsort maybe which is much more affordable than PGD/IVF? I really hope you find some peace with a decision soon [GLC]

Beautifully put Rein&Sonshines, I totally agree with you, it is just lovely to the little boy or girl you so dreamed about, but real life and its struggles does go on. And I too have come to learn the love I have for my DC is whole hearted and huge, no matter the gender.

It was hard to be geniunly happy for them, though it was easy to fall in love with my nephews as they are so c...

I am so sorry you are feeling so down, it must be so heartbreaking to have it all rear up fresh and new again. I hope you have faith that one day you will get to be with her , your DD, again. I think it is lovely you are so close to your boys too. I wish i could say more to help, but know you are in my thoughts.
