I found out because I couldn't see the point of not finding out. This being an IVF pregnancy I have seen this baby as an 8 cell embryo, a tiny prawn with a yolk sac, I have seen his face, his spine, his heart etc etc. Why not know an integral part of his personality or the person he will become? I have waited for over 6 years to conceive him through all sorts of disappointments and heartache. Waiting is not something I want to do anymore. It is difficult enough waiting for him to be born, let alone holding out on the sex! I am not sure if this is typical of LTTCers but it has been my experience.
