SpicyTunaSushi - when are you due? I am July 14. Have a feeling we are close as I am 20 weeks now. Seems like most people find out and like you I think I am leaning towards not (don't think I'll even get the tech to write it down - bad willpower), but unlike you I have quite a girly though early nub. Will keep an eye on your updates and keep my fingers crossed for you (and everyone)
ps. saw your post about the results being so good so far and someone has to have the girl and SOOOOO feel the same way.

Boo! I just lost my reply!
But yes, we are due around the same time. I didn't have a US in the range you did, so I don't even have nubs to think about, but I am glad. Nubs are difficult to deal with because you just don't know. The US tech who did my 20th week said that 4 women recently came in and told they were having girls from their NT scan and they were all having boys. That would be so sad and devastating!
And, yes the stats are creeping up to the 75-80% success, someone has to get an opposite. I feel like it could be me. I was thinking boy this pregnancy, but doubt has really settled in with those stats. Without those stats, I would be blissfully unaware.
When is your scan? Have you decided what to do? For what it is worth, in my community, most of my friends are pregnant and due with girls, so we need some boys to round out the average. (horrible logic, I know!)TTC Blue!

My scan is next Wednesday (was late booking it so am not going until 22 weeks). Still not 100% sure what I'm going to do. Leaning towards not finding out (we didn't find out with my first and was soooo convinced she was a boy... oh the irony). But at the same time I spend so much time playing with ultrasound pics and looking at nubs that I may get a bit of my life back if I do find out. I secretly hope I say I don't want to know and the tech 'accidentally' puts a pic with his little boy parts on my cd
Think it will be a game time decision for me.

Ok- well this is probably not helpful, but the last few days, I have been nub/ramzi-sessing, even though I have neither a nub shot nor a shot that is useful for Ramzi (my US was at 9+ weeks). I have wasted a lot of time and I thought about just looking at the envelope to fin dout (at Dh's work). I was at DH's office and saw the envelope and could have opened it- but decided not to. It will be hard either way. Good luck! What does Dh want to do?

He doesn't want to find out. I know he would like a boy but is not overly bothered by it either way. He's a great guy, and amazing with our girls, and I really wish I could give him that boy but I know he will love another girl just as much. This yet again falls into the 'why me' category, but I see so many guys who when their wives get pregnant make comments such as 'this better be a boy, I don't want girls, etc. etc. etc... insert other rude comment' go on to get their boy and it somehow just doesn't make sense.
You have some great willpower to have it actually written down and not open it. I commend you cause I don't think I could do that. Smart leaving it at DH's work! I thought about getting the tech to write it down but I don't think I could know it's there and not open it.
Ugh, I know a year from now none of this will matter but right now it's just so hard to know what to do.

I didn't find out. Went by myself as my husband couldn't make it and it would have been easy to find out on my own but just couldn't do it. Think I need to cling to the little bit of hope that it's a boy right up until the end, even though I feel like in my heart I know it's a girl. I know that when I hold her it wont matter and she will be mine and that sweet little peanut will need me and this wont matter. I've always had a hard time connecting with my babies before they were born and I think knowing that, for me finding out before actually wouldn't help me, though I do know some people are different. I'm trying not to obsess over this stuff and spend so much time on these sites, but will make sure to update once baby arrives. I honestly wish everyone would just get their desired gender regardless of what it is or family make up they want. This is an awful awful thing and I really wish I didn't feel it.

Jillybean- we are on the same page. A few weeks on, I am not thinking about it very much at all. Third baby doesn't get much attention. I also don't bond that well with the baby in utero, so I didn't think it would matter.
Why are you so sure it is a girl?TTC Blue!

Spicy - is this number three for you too? It is funny how third baby really doesn't get much attention. My husband and I were talking about how fast it has gone by (more for him that for me) and how baby will be here before we know it! Guess that's just a product of having such busy lives and little ones to take care of we cannot dwell on everything like we could before.
I'm pretty convinced it's a girl because of my nub pictures. They were done at 11+6 (measured 12+1) but there are a few of them, and they are all very very girlie. Obviously everyone gives the disclaimer that it's still early, but there isn't really any angle to any of them so I think that kinda solidified what I'm feeling. Maybe there is a small chance it will end up being a boy, but I really think it's another girl and I have accepted that and am ok with it. Just ready to be done with pregnancy (110% sure this is last baby) and really concentrate on raising our girls and the next chapter of our lives

I successfully had my girl nearly 3 years ago thanks to an awesome plan from atomic. I have just started on Ozempic to try and lose some weight due to PCOS and it’s working well. Does anyone...
