Some more :hug: for you !
xoxoxoxo
I hun I totally get you!!! I bet you are blessed with such a beautiful boy though.
No I dont Tanya, unfortunately he only printed out the ones of the face, kidneys etc. I pulled them out as soon as I got home so I could scrutinise them myself but there is none there to scrutinise.
I think it must be sinking in a bit more today because I am feeling very flat and upset about.
Its taken all the excitment I felt about having this baby soon away too. I just went to the supermarket and they have huggies on special. I started crying again just looking at the pink boxes of nappies!
Have you thought about seeking another opinion to make absolutely sure? You sound so distraught, I wish there was something I could do for you.
More hugs today :hug:.
Do you have any of the gender-type shots from the two previous scans? Tanya is pretty clever at determining the gender :)
I'm not sure if this is correct but I was told that the most accurate scans are around the 20 week mark and those too far after that point are not as accurate? Something to do with it being too big to determine properly?
:hug: Will be thinking of you and hoping.
:hug: just sending more hugs hun! :hug: xx
Hon I am in shock for you and as I read you post I said out loud "oh now, how devastating" and my dh asked what was wrong and I told him :hug: big hugs from both of us. We don't have any bubs yet but we do know how much we want at least one of each gender, I can't imagine how uspset you are right now :( I understand you feeling like you have lost your little girl, is there any chance next time (if you choose a next time) you can get IVF or something to insure a girl? I know that might sound a little cold and I dont' know if you can even choose gender with IVF but I am just offering some light for you.
just sending you a big hug :hug:
i hope youre feeling better today xx
:hug: :hug: I know how excited you were when you were told you were having a girl :hug: :hug: I can imagine how shocked you were :hug:
Big hugs darl. Hope your next scan is more definitive and that youre feeling better
Just sending you some more hugs, i have been thinking about you since i first read your post!!! I really hope that that little bit of hope you are clinging to turns out your way. And if it doesnt i pray that you have the strength and support to come to terms with the feelings you are having. I cant imagine how hard this must be for you!!!
nothing else i can say realy....just more hugs and let your self be sad and dont feel bad about those feelings!!!! Hugs to you.xx
:hug::hug::hug:
I hope you get some sort of closure with your next scan..if they are wrong and you are in fact having a girl then you can go on as you had planned.
If you are carrying a little boy you can grieve for what you thought you had and plan and get excited for the precious little man your are carrying to make up your basket ball team.
Take care...
xxxx Heather
:hug: Oh Stacey. xo Wishing you comfort and peace as you work through this.
I'm keeping you in my thoughts too Stacey. I'm so very sorry for you. Have you had any more thoughts on getting another scan?
:hug: :hug: :hug:
DO you have an update for us? I saw your ticker and you have me wondering.
Oh, I just saw your ticker too! I hope you can come and update us :)
Sorry ladies, I forgot about this thread. I updated the G/D one but not this one.
I had another 3D scan done and the ladies were so wonderful. They knew the situation and really did try to give me the 100% I needed but unfortunately a leg was in the way.
In 2D they were still adamant it was a girl. There was absolutely nothing there for the two of them to see that made them think it could have been a boy. Apparently at that stage (I was nearly 36wks) it is VERY obvious if its a boy.
In 3D we got glimpses and again nothing there and a very clear shot of the bum with nothing hanging out the back which is usually the case.
So although not certain I am still hoping its a girl.
The ladies did say they are not in the job to give you false hope if they are not sure they would rather just say but in this case they would be incrediably shocked and astounded if it turned out to be a boy.
They have never gotten it wrong as far as they know and certainly dont want me to be the one to break that record.
So while that doubt is there I am trying to think pink. I have neutralised the bedding and my hospital bag has neutral clothes with a few pink outfits in there too.
As much as I really want to fully believe I still have that protection mode in place. So thats where I am today, crossing everything I can and hoping like hell. Hopefully for not too much longer
Excellent! Sounds promising. I'm keeping fingers crossed for you!
Sounds extremely promising!@!@!
I have my fingers, legs and toes crossed for you! :)
pinkpinkpink, hehehe
Oh that is promising.... I have absolutely everything crossed for you!!!
:crossfingers:
:cheer: PINK :cheer:
WooHoo, I have everything crossed for you too and I have to say I am very interested to hear what name you have chosen with the rest of your kids names...they are great names by the way
Sounds so very promising! I really hope it's a lil pink one in there for you :)
If not, PM me as I've got a whole heap of stuff DS doesn't fit into anymore!
:pray: that they are right this time... thinking PINK for you, not long to go now...
Thinking PINK for you! That all sounds a lit exciting... Come one little one come out soon so we can all know!!!! hehehe ;)
Yeah!!! I was heartbroken for you when I first read this thread and have been keeping an eye out hoping it was all going to turn out okay!!
Everything crossed for a little pink bundle for your family!
Thinking PINK for you.... really hoping you have a little princess in there :crossfingers:
Oooh, i'm thinking pink too :hug:
3 weeks to go honey & then the suspense will be over. I'm hoping for a little girl for you but can totally understand your need to protect yourself from false hope if your bundle turns out blue. Please keep posting, we really are here to support you through this. :hug:
Praying one silly sonographer saw an umbilical cord and caused you days of needless, unbearable stress and grief.
I know it seems extremely weird to put it that way, but I don't doubt you are hoping the exact same thing.
Looking forward to hearing about your princess...
Just letting yo know I am thinking of you.
Look forward to seeing the birth announcement in a few weeks time.
Look after yourself and enjoy getting neutral clothes ready. :)
All boys - i am really sorry you're going through this - i have been following your journey from finding out you had a girl, to the disappointment of a boy and now i see you're in limbo - that must be so very difficult for you. as much as the sentiment of "as long as it's healthy" is a lovely one to have, when you are given something then have it taken away it must make thinking like that all the harder. will be looking forward to your BA in the coming weeks
i just want to comment on this for anyone else reading - it's not possible to gender select with IVF unless there is a gender related genetic issue that you are trying to overcome - and even then it's not 100% guaranteed. IVF just can't be used for that purpose sorry:
:yeahthat: And it's also not just a matter of the IVF clinics not allowing gender selection, it's illegal, and for good reasons. That's not to say that people don't have legitimate non-medical reasons for wanting a specific gender, of course.
I've been following your thread and can't imagine how much of an emotional rollercoaster it must have been for you over the past few weeks - and it's not over yet! Sending you lots of :hug: :hug: and will be thinking of you.
I wouldn't begin to try and imagine what GD is like, but I think GD can be underestimated - because, as BG said, everyone expects you to be happy that you have a "healthy baby." I really hope you are having a girl, and also hope that you can find some space to grieve if you're not.
All the best.
Thanks BrissyGirl, I've wondered about that for some time now and glad to know the facts ;)
AllBoys how are you going? I hope you have found some sort of resolve and are feeling more connected to your buba :hug
:hug: Can I hope for a boy, and then be really pleased either way, because either I'm right, or you'll have your girl? :p
I really hope that these days until bub is born are as calm, peaceful and accepting as possible. xo
Thanks for updating us :). I have lots of pink hope for you, it sounds very promising :D
We all look forward to finding out soon and will help you celebrate your bub no matter what the gender :hug:.
I hope for the arrival of a safe and healthy wee little bubba, and :pray: for pink :)
how's everything going AllBoys? i am sending you lots of pink vibes xoxo
I've been wondering about allboys too!!! Just have to be patient, can't be long now.... :crossfingers:
