Hi. I am 7w2d pregnant. Do y'all think I could be having another boy due to these symptoms:

Baby measures 2 days big on the ultrasound. Heartrate at 6w was about 130. No morning sickness, just extreme tiredness.

Although, here are my reasons to hope it might be a girl:
progesterone levels high. Did an iui to get pregnant. got a positive test WAY earlier then with my son.

I know it's early to be guessing, but does anybody have a guess for me??

Sorry I cant tell you from your symptoms.. I had hardly any m/s with both of my girls.. This time around I had a little m/s.

Have you got any other clues for us, such as when you ovulated, when you dtd, whats your diet, hot,cold showers, did you reach the big o when dtd (sways for boys), dh wear tight underwear (sways for girls), did you have ewcm..


Any other tips along that line would be great..

I ovulated on oct. 15th. but, dh and I had an iui. So I couldn't sway. I had the iui done a few hours before I ovulated. any thoughts now?

My daughter is an IUI baby. I had no morning sickness until 9w2d, and it was gone at 12w5d. Just wam bam thank you ma'am. I had TERRIBLE heartburn basically from the day of conception, got my bfp at 12dpiui, her heart rate at first ultrasound was 114bpm and I should've been 7w, but she measured 6w5d. (I think I implanted late)
im not sure what my progesterone levels were, because I was taking prometrium vaginally so I don't remember ever asking. I was incredibly tired though. My first hcG was 41 (I read somewhere that lower initial hcG can be indicative of a girl)

I've heard more iui babies are girls. it is because more girl sperm live through the sperm wash. although, i'm sure there are plenty of boy iui babies. i'm just thinking it's a boy mainly because he is measuring 2 days bigger. maybe i have a big girl??

I had a big girl! She was 7.7# at 2w6d early (obviously since she is an IUI we can almost exactly pinpoint conception)...she would've been between 8.5-9# easily at birth. Another girl on here in the June DDC who is a friend of mine IRL has an IUI girl who was 10.15# at birth, and I think she was 23.5" long? She was born at 41w or so I believe?

I have heard there are more boy IUI babies as the male sperm are faster and since it's right at ovulation they beat the X chromies

I just feel like I am having another boy. I am making myself miserable during this whole pregnancy.

First of all congratulations on being pregnant i know how you feel because i have 3 boys but please dont feel miserable i love the boys to bits but i am desperate for a girl so i know how that feeling but you will have to enjoy your pregnancy or you ll end up beind depressed and believe me that is no fun for you or the baby just wait til the scan and they tell you the sex of your baby and if it is a boy you just have to go with the flow fingers crossed its a girl so please dont be glum or you ll make yourself poorly hun

Hugs, Try to relax until the scan. Its hard but you could be stressing for nothing. Try to enjoy your pregnancy.

I was so worried about having another girl at every scan, even the 13wk scan I begged the u/s tech to guess. I drove myself nuts at every scan wanting to know bubs gender.. making sure she still was a girl.. Some how i was still hoping a penis would grow
I stressed so much all for nothing at the end of the day my baby is still a girl and I'm very much in love with her now..

Still i'd love a boy one day though.

I'm hoping you get your girl sending you plenty of girl vibes..
I hope you start to feel a little better soon..
