I asked DH if he thinks this baby is a boy or a girl. He said he KNOWS its a girl, I think its a boy. We were driving and I started gettting some sharp pain in my left side that I usually get in my right, when I told DH he said it was LO's other sister, joking that we were having twin girls! DH knows that twins would not be my first choice since I am on the smaller side it was rough at the end being pregnant with one. I think its cute he's wanting twin girls. Anyone else have a huntch as to what sex your baby might be?
Re: Boy or Girl?
I've been thinking girl, but for no apparent reason. I've been wearing a lot of girly colors (even before BFP). So much that my coworkers commented on it. I also slipped and said something to DH about DS's little sister. It was completely out of the blue!
If this one is a girl, we MIGHT be done. If it's another boy (which I would love!), we might try again (and as of now, I'm thinking I want more than 2). So, I'd be thrilled to have one of each and equally thrilled to have another boy (with the possibility of another in our future).
DH is playing the "as long as it's healthy" card, but I know he REALLY wants a girl.

I am feeling boy this time for no reason other than that is what I see when I picture this baby. I was right with Lily, so we see in about 14 weeks.
Everyone has always told me I am going to have all boys because I am so girly. I hope we have at least one of each before we're done, but it doesn't really matter to me what order they come in and I too just want a healthy baby.
That said, after I ran into the bedroom with my BFP to show DH, I plopped on the bed and said to myself "OMG I'm pregnant and I'm going to have a girl." I have no idea where it came from, so I'll be interested to see if I was right. But DH still insists it is a boy.

We often live and work in dangerous places among those that misunderstand our intentions and purposes. Sometimes members of our ranks sacrifice our lives to further diplomacy.

this is true for me, too, i think. unless i O'd suuuper early
Same here!
I have a feeling it's a girl! I have had greasy skin and pimples since before I even saw the BFP and I was told that if you are pregnant with a girl, your skin goes crazy!!! I'm also thinking that maybe I'm having multiples. I did fertility treatments and had about 6 follies when they did the IUI...so lets pray it's not 6 babies!!!lol But, I am thinking that I have at least 2 in the oven...not sure why, just a feeling! So, maybe I'll get a boy and a girl!!!! That would fantastic!:)
Merry
not sure. we will be super thrilled either way. we love having a boy and would love having a brother for DS -- and i have so much boy stuff - i would love to be able to re-use it all! we would also love a girl because it would be new and different.
i'm not sure how i feel yet - i think it's still early. although i really haven't been craving any sweets this time around -- more sandwiches, fruits & vegetables. very different than my first pregnancy! we'll see!!

I'm not sure how they're doing it, it sounds like a fun thing to speculate with. It won't really mean anything though because it is the dad who determines the gender of the baby.
My guess for me is boy. No reason other than that we agreed on a boy's name years ago and I don't want the headache of sorting out the girl name thing.

ok - so.
boy sperm travel faster, but die quicker.
girl sperm travel slower, but live longer.
if i had sex on monday, then O'd thurs and got a BFP - id assume girl. by the time you O'd, all the boy sperm would have died and the girls would be left to get.
if you had sex only on the day you O - then its more likely a boy. fast moving sperm get there quickest.
if you had sex all week, then who knows! lol
