Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone for your kind comments. I am SO going to try and focus on the positives of having a gorgeous big boy family and just enjoy every day. I am so grateful for the opportunity of being able to get those feelings off my chest and I feel really relieved!

Thanks Christy, I read the forum on this topic and it really helped put it all in perspective. Mamabear79 if I was you, I would try to plan for a girl as maybe it would help - I didn't with baby three or four because I didn't really feel that desperate before for a girl and it takes alot of dedication to change your diet and not to mention timing everything...I hope you have a patient husband lol!!! Good luck and I don't have to tell you that you and your family will love that baby no matter what!

Gender selection for non medical reasons isn't an option anymore for us even if we could afford it because as I understand, it has just been made illegal for non-medical reasons. I really want another baby even if God came down and said it will def be a boy, I would still love another opportunity to experience pregnancy, breastfeeding and the joy of seeing my children welcome another sibling. We have always wanted five children. If we do decide to try again, I will definately try planning for a girl using Shettles or whatever and I guess we'll see what happens.

I would love to hear from more people who were desperate for a particular sex and whether their efforts at planning for a particular gender worked or not!
