I'd love another little girl if we ever managed to conceive again. However, I wouldn't be disappointed with a boy and I just hope he or she is healthy. We were team yellow with Anabella as I had a vision of giving birth and then my husband seeing he/she first and telling me the sex. I ended up with a c section in the end , but I asked the Dr and nurses not to disclose the sex and to show my husband first. It was magical (for me) and just the way I wanted it.
If I got pregnant again, I am veering more towards finding out as the spare room is decorated boy-ish colours (we've only just moved here) and I'd like to know whether to ditch all of the clothes we've kept from Anabella or whether we need to keep them. I was made redundant at 5 months pregnant last time so had months and months to prepare, but this time round I doubt I'd have the same time, so would like to know sooner to get everything sorted and ready. Phew that was a long response!!
Pesk - I am so sorry you had a chemical
So many pregnancies reaching that gender / anomoloy scan, exciting times! I felt my own pregnancy went so slow, but watching everyone's tickers it feels like the pregnancies are flying by!
Texas- I hope your appointment went well and you managed to find out the cause of the spotting. I hope your Dr was helpful and not like mine!
Bee - I hope the femara is helping two lovely follies become ready and mature to release those eggs. It won't be long until your next IUI! Time really does fly!
Squirrel - I can't get into GOT, but my husband loves it. I think I will try again at some point, it seems quite complicated! I hope the clomid is working well and getting those follicles nice and mature. I am sending positive thoughts your way for Tuesday
kitty - what a long cycle you had! Is that abnormally long for you??
AFM - I am CD 17 today. Starting to get a little bit of fertile cm and my temp has been consistently low the last few days so I think I am gearing up to ovulate. So far it doesn't look like the soy isoflavones have done anything. I was hoping ovulation would be bought forward, but so far , it's not looking that way.
After doing lots of reading, I am convinced my thyroid is either all or partly to blame for my short luteal phase and failure to fall pregnant. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. I was diagnosed with a borderline underactive thyroid in June last year and was put on a very low dose of thyroxine. Within a few months my periods starting to return to normal after being erratic and irregular for a whole year, although I wasn't ovulating. Then my dose was increased and I have started ovulating, however my levels are still not optimal for TTC. So my dose has been increased slightly again and I am really interested in how the next few months pan out to see of my luteal phase is positively affected. Fingers and toes crossed. Although I am imagine that is all wishful thinking and probably not that simple!
