I have two gorgeous dss, six and four. have reached the point where it is now or never for a third. i want to try for a girl, maybe using shettles method. but dh doesn't want another one and thinks i am totally setting myself up for 3 boys, which i don't want, even though i adore the ones i have. am i being totally selfish to want a girl? if dh doesn't want another baby full stop is it really unreasonable? worried i will be disappointed forever if i never have a girl. feel really guilty.

Yummy, what will she do if it is a boy? I mean, getting PG and hoping for a girl but getting a boy is a whole lot different to paying £4k for a girl and getting a boy .

Hi neenz. I don't know!! I think the odds are very good for a girl but yes she could be the 5% that it doesn't work for! That's assuming she becomes pregnant first time! I think the earliest she would find out was sometime around 7 weeks pregnant with a blood test....

Yeah that's another thing... what if she loses the baby? How devastating... Does the £4k just go toward one cycle or do they carry on until she gets a successful pg?
