I find out at the end of this week or early next week so I will be back to update the poll but for now my guess is girl since this pregnancy is sooooo different from my last and from previous IVF embryos we know DH shoots way more girl sperm than boy.
This pregnancy has been so different than DS, so I was kind of convinced it was a girl. But I was having boy dreams, so wasn't sure. But my SneakPeek blood test says BOY! 💙
I am convinced it’s a boy. This pregnancy is 100% different than with my DD. Last time H “knew” DD was a girl from the day we transferred the embryo and he was right. This time I’m the one convinced on the sex. We’ll find out in a month or so since my NIPT isn’t even scheduled yet.
DH says it is probably a boy because he really wants a girl. I have a feeling it’s another girl. We will find out sometime after 8/8 when our panorama is drawn.

I really have no idea. This pregnancy is very similar to my first, and my 1st and 2nd could not have been more different. I have 2 boys. Would love 3. Who knows!
I am thinking girl only because my pregnancy has been exactly the same as my first so far. Cravings and all. But we are waiting until the anatomy scan, so we will see!
We would be quite surprised if we didn't have a girl. In both my husband's and the latest generation, girls are always the firstborn followed by a boy and then alternating all the way through. My husband is the only exception because he is an identical twin. We also have two people, who have near perfect guess rates, predicting a girl. That being said, we aren't planning to find out until s/he is born.
On DH's side there has only been males I think for 3 generations? He's one of four boys, and his two brothers both have had two sons. So chances are it's a boy lol. I honestly just want a healthy baby but if we had a girl it would be an absolute shock for everyone.
Someone voted that they are having boy/girl twins. Pretty sure that’s not even possible to know, unless you did IVF and know you selected a male and a female embryo.
With DS I was convinced I was having a girl (we were team green), obviously I was wrong. I’m already thinking girl again this time, so I’m sure it’s a boy! Undecided if we’ll find out or not.

With our son I just knew he was a boy I think it was mostly due to the timing of when we conceived that I was so convinced. This time the timing is the same but I just don’t have that strong feeling yet! I’m leaning towards boy.
@daffodil_shoe I’m interested to see if that sneak peek test works well! I read so much about how you can’t have your any males around or anywhere near you when you take the test.
I find out the results of the NIPT any day. I can’t wait to see if it’s a boy or girl. I have three boys already, so I’m convinced it will be another boy. That’s cool with me, but it would be exciting to have a girl!
@daffodil_shoe I just did SneakPeek. I am confident I was as meticulous as possible in the contamination department (did it in "my" wing of the house where husband rarely goes; husband has been out of town for 3 weeks anyway; wiped down everything with Clorox wipes; didn't touch ANYTHING; etc.), but I'm worried about the blood being too clotted for them to use. It took me probably the full 10 minutes, two fingers, and all three lancets to get out enough blood. I was sweating like crazy, and I'm not a big sweater. It was just a huge production with a lot of preparation and I'm not sure I'll have results to show for it. Though, I guess I did learn that I do have it in me to stab myself with lancets repeatedly (and that it doesn't actually hurt). If that didn't work, I'll probably just decline the second kit and ask for a refund and wait until my 12 week appointment when my doc will start doing genetic blood testing lol (the same thing + the trisomies and other common chromosomal disorders). Would still be finding out early, and I'll be less skeptical of the result. I think I'm going to be skeptical of this result no matter what I get, if I get a result. If I get a boy result, I'm gonna wonder if I contaminated it somehow despite my precautions. If I get a girl result, I'm gonna wonder if I was far enough along in my pregnancy at 8w6d to have done this test and get a result. So, yeah, that's my review of SneakPeek so far, to anyone else who's thinking about it haha.

@babylawyer SneakPeek just came out saying they can test at 8 weeks. I’m so sorry you thought you had to keep poking yourself....all you actually have to do is wipe the puncture with the alcohol wipe again to break up the clotting factor. It will start bleeding again. Then wipe away the first drop of blood with the gauze and continue on!
Did you keep tipping the vile back and forth to keep it from clotting? It should be okay if you did that.
I'm total a poking newbie so did not know that...if there's a next time for poking, good to know! Le sigh. Good tip on getting it anyway--I'm still glad I got it, if nothing else because now I know I can poke myself. I'm squeamish as all get out and high risk for gestational diabetes, so now I know I can poke myself if that concern bears out. Always looking for that bright side!

We find out any day and I can’t wait!!! With my first we really wanted a boy so I was convinced it was going to be a girl. Wrong. This time DH really wants another boy but I honestly don’t care either way. I’m leaning towards it being a girl again because my skin isn’t nearly as nice as it was last time.
I still dont really have a strong feeling one way one way or another. I didn’t with DS either. I kind of felt like this one is going to be a girl at first but now I have no idea. We have to wait til the anatomy scan though!

Remarkably my super clotted sample was accepted by SneakPeek! And I think because of all the false positives that do happen with the home tests, I'm going to wait until NIPT testing/results next months before I feel confident in this result. But, SP says it's a boy!!!

My testing is Aug 14th but it looks like only the Panorama test can distinguish gender of each twin. I’ll ask my doc because we’d like to know! Early on I was thinking boy/girl but I’ve felt like it’s two boys for a while now.
A couple friends said at their 12ish week ultrasounds, the ultrasonographer had a pretty good idea of gender anyway but we shall see!
@Swiftlet my high risk OB is usually able to tell me by 12 weeks. He says don’t go painting any rooms or anything, but he hasn’t been wrong. My test might not be back by my appointment with him next week, so it might be the first time he tells me what he thinks without having dna confirmation yet.
