Gender disappointment

I know I'll get over it so no one needs to tell me that, but I found out the gender and I'm sad about it. How long did it take you to get over gender disappointment?

It's a natural thing to have gender disappointment, I did with my second and the feelings dimmed but didn't fully go until I gave birth and now I couldn't even imagine or want anything else x

With my 3rd (3rd boy) it took me a few weeks. But like above it fully went away after I held my baby.

It’s natural, when I was pregnant I was convinced it was a boy, had a boys name everything then came out pink. I was happy but also emotional as I was so convinced I was having a son. But now I love my daughter and wouldn’t change it for the world x

Honestly I recently found out I'm having my second boy and I was so upset. I had a breakdown and I was saying how much I wanted to give him away as I didn't want another boy and I was hoping for a girl. My friends gave me a massive kick up the ass. I still wasn't that happy and I did think about having a late term abortion too. My thoughts were dark and I was pretending I was okay. However on Thursday I finally came up with a name for him that I loved and goes well with my first son who has a biblical name and it clicked that I'm going to be a mummy to two amazing boys and that made me happy.

Sadly Desperate

I’ve been a step mom for over 6 years now and it seems like this year it has all went to hell. My relationship with my step kids, my feelings as a stepmom and everything else in general. I love my husband and he supports me every way he can I just don’t have anyone else in my situation that can help or understands what I’m going through. If anyone is willing to listen or just give their thoughts I would greatly appreciate it 💜

Anyone had a super early postive ?

Hi am i seeing things ? It's only 6 dpo. I had a chemical pregnancy start of February then a period then a positive ovulation strip a week ago Could this be the left over after the chemical ? It just seems so early. This is an early detection test. This came up within 2 minutes of dipping and it says to wait 3 minutes. I've taken two after that arnt as early detection but still what I think are faint positives ? All appeared withing the recommended time frames xxx

At 8DPO negative test result

At 8 DPO not even a faint line , a straight negative test . So does that means it’s a no pregnancy for me this month . Or there are future chances for hcg to rise

Chemical pregnancy or too early ?

I did a test last night and straight away the positive line came up. When I tested again this morning it’s negative. My period isn’t due until Tuesday but feeling really crap and pregnant for the last week
