2note - Sorry to hear you're feeling so down, I know its hard when TTC and all your head is full of is when? when? when?. This month's success comes after a period where I backed away from the board for about two weeks, and tried to be a little less intense about it all. (I also tried pre-seed for the first time which helped, not necessarily in its primary role as a lube, but it made us giggle!). I hope your doc is helpful.
NJ - Sorry we couldn't be more helpful in reassuring you but really pleased you started the other thread, I had a read through and see why Mears' responses have provided what you need. Far more useful than the sort of comments you tend to get from dr's / mw's.
Playing, I didn't want to find out the sex of DS and DH said he didn't mind, so we didn't ask - I just felt that so few things were a genuine surprise in life that I wanted to have this. I also felt that when it came to DH phoning people to announce the arrival, saying yes, he / she's arrived was less exciting than saying "its a girl / boy" etc....silly really, but am still glad we didn't find out.
Having said that, in my heart I thought it was a boy and I had a couple of 'signs'; the first was when we were walking in the park with friends and some magpies flew over, one of my friends counted them and said, that's it then, you're having a boy! Second was a lady who used a gold ring over my bump, she said it would swing either up and down or left and right and that before she did it, I had to determine which way meant which sex....I said up and down meant boy - and that's what it did. It was nice doing it that way coz it meant that I could keep it secret if I wanted - I don't really believe in it so told the crowd sat waiting with baited breath!!!
I've bought a CBD this lunchtime to do a test with tomorrow morning - it should be quite a lot stronger by then shouldn't it? Or should I wait till Friday? What do you all reckon? (I really don't want to spend any more money on tests but do want to have a very clear and un-contestable positive!).
I keep having very raunchy dreams (involving DH of course!), which I seem to remember from last time round, I think its something to do with the extra blood flow in that area stimulating your subconscious . With DS I had a clear dream that I was having a girl, and that labour consisted of unzipping my tummy (i grew a zip) and extracting my 12lb baby, who was sitting up independently and virtually fully weaned - think that was my mind reassuring me about labour and allaying my fears about looking after a tiny baby!!!
Right, best scoot for now as lunch is well and truly over and I've yabbered for England!!
See you later!
