IUI #5 w/ Tamoxifen+Ovidrel+Acupuncture Oct 24, 2014-->BFP!!! EDD July 17, 2015. Panorama=low risk...and it's a GIRL! DD born July 10, 2015 -------------------------------------------------------- Trying for baby #2! IUI #1 w/ Tamoxifen+Ovidrel+Acupuncture July 10, 2017-->BFP!!! EDD Apr 2, 2018. Panorama=low risk...and another GIRL!
Ah can't wait to know! Dr said Panorama should take 1 week. Called the lab because I'm impatient lol and it's been 4 days. They said it'll be at least another week. Can't wait to see where the poll is at in a few weeks!
@rach-j I was 13 weeks when the ultrasound tech said girl, and we got quite the surprise when the 20 week ultrasound tech said boy. The 20 week ultrasound was right. Maybe the boy calls are more accurate at 13 weeks, but just fyi!
Anxiously awaiting the panorama results, but will probably still be a little bit. Had it done on Tuesday and they said up to 10 days. Additionally, I don't want to "read" the results. I want someone else to get them and then DH and I do a Facebook live reveal where we are surprised along with everyone else. Decided that is how I'm going to publicly announce.
Baby boy #3 for us!! There will be less than 2.5 years total between the 3 of them (15 months between 1 and 2, 12 months between 2 and 3) so I’m super excited that they are all the same gender! And with this little dude our family will be complete.
It's a boy for me. I don't know why I was so convinced it was a girl, but I'm feeling a little lost knowing it's a boy. At least I have 28+/- weeks to get used to the idea!
@scuba_chic I had mine done last Tuesday also. I'm over here impatiently waiting. Can't wait to find out!! @stalkinghorse boys are wonderful and tons of fun. You'll do just fine!!
Finally got my test results back, and we are having another girl! Lol, I can't stop laughing because my husband's family only produces boys. This will just be the third girl born on his side in 150 years.
Just got our sneakpeek results: boy! I’m trying to get excited, but I was hoping for another girl. I got so attached to my daughters clothes, I’m sad we won’t get to use them again.
@stalkinghorse I know how you feel! I was just convinced it was a girl. I'm so excited to have a son, but I'm more nervous about it all than I think I would've been if it had been a girl. The good news is easier hair styles and no dealing with crazy teen girl hormones someday, right? Are you also a FTM? If so and you plan on having another then your next LO will have a protective older brother!
Side note: love your pic of your horse. I rode hunter-jumper for 15 years. I had a qh/tb cross. He's 24 and a semi retired trail horse now
@stalkinghorse when I found out DS was a boy last pregnancy I was shocked because I was so sure he was a girl. Plus I got all kind of weird comments that boys are naughty/destructive/misbehaving etc. Turns out my son is the sweetest mama's boy ever! He's really active but he also love to do arts and crafts and "reading" books while snuggling. I love everything about being a boy mom; his mom!
@rmmorris I'm really attached to DS's clothes and will be a little sad if I don't get to use them again, but I also went to peak at the girl's section the last time I was at target and was as smitten!!
@mcg920 oh thank you for your encouragement. I love meeting fellow riders. I rode as a kid and then picked it up again when i turned 30. It's my huge passion. I think part of the reason I really wanted a girl was it meant I could get a pony! I know, terrible, terrible.
I am a FTM, but I'm not sure if we will be having more than one. I'm going to be 37 when I deliver. And I have kind of a demanding career. So I'm just not sure about a second one. I think that's why I'm not taking this with as much grace as I should.
@danjoly thank you for your post! I hope my baby likes to snuggle. I came from a very affectionate family (not the case for my husband) and I'm really keen to have those moments with my LO.
@stalkinghorse Oh I totally get it--I also had visions of a little girl with pigtails on a Welsh pony. I know boys can ride too, but for some reason girls just seem to take to it more. I understand your concerns about having another one someday. I confess I have already started thinking about the next one (I'm extremely Type A lol) but I think the best thing we can do is just focus on the ones we are growing and save any major decisions/thoughts until these babies are at least a year old, right?!
@danjoly I am glad to hear that your son is a cuddler and not a constantly moving blur of dirt and noise and destruction like people seem to think all little boys are!
Also, apologies for breaking the thread rules and turning this into a personal conversation!
@rmmorris oh I felt the same way. Of course I'm excited for a boy and just want him healthy but this is our last probably so I did cry realizing I have to retire all the girl clothes I have and won't be buying new dresses. I also hate how boy clothes aren't bright at all either but I know there's cute stuff out there just have to find it.
@stalkinghorse omg as soon as I told people I was having a boy people have made comments like "oh they're different! Fun and destructive" or "get ready to learn everything about video games" or "good you won't have any more girls 2 is enough drama." It's frustrating my girls are awesome and I could of had a 3rd happily. Also I like to think not all boys are destructive. My 2 year old girl is pretty destructive as it is haha
