Tulpen88, thanks for the well wishes, but I think we're in for the long haul with Shettles. We conceived DS within 2 weeks of trying, so I'm pretty sure that I can do this if I'm just patient.
DH has never wanted more than 2 kids, and I have always wanted 4. We've been together nearly 10 years, and I've told him that the only way I could possibly call it quits after 2 is if we have one of each. So, in order to preserve peace in our marriage, we're sticking with the only form of gender prediction we can afford.
I sometimes worry that our blissful marriage could be rocked into an unstable position if we end up with a boy. I mean, I know I'd really press for another, and he'd really dig in his heels about it. We have certainly agreed that DS needs a sibling, and I'd rather have a healthy baby boy than no second child at all, but I'm not desperate enough yet to throw in the towel on Shettles.
I have met 6 other couples who have used Shettles to try for a girl. Four were successful, and the other two admitted that they just got frustrated with the wait and BD'd a day later than they should to up their chances. They upped their chances of conception, but drastically lowered their chances of getting a little girl that way.
I know Shettles isn't for everyone, and that some people look down on others who want to control the gender of the baby, but I don't see it as a negative thing. I have never thought that I'd be happy with a little family of 4, but I think I might be done if we can manage to end up with one of each. That leaves us with more resources to send our kids to college, have awesome family vacations, and make life a bit more comfortable than it would be without a financial cushion. It's also better for the planet, and I want to do everything I can to be a green individual without drastically affecting my happiness. DS is my whole world now, and I know my second child would be treasured no less.
Sorry for the novel. You it on something I have been thinking about a lot lately. In a year or so, I may be ready to give up and have my little boy, but I'm not there yet.
for you! I hope you get your BFP!
I know it's hard, but you're right...it'll happen when it's meant to. Fingers crossed for you! 
I hope the HSG does the trick for you!
I don't think DH and I could ever manage that!
.
but we took it easy and I felt no pain or discomfort... There is NO way I'm wasting a precious egg!
) this time around.
I'll take you off the list. Feel free to come vent to us anytime. 
You are completely entitled to your feelings. Do not feel guilty for feeling raw. TTC is hard. It's an emotional rollercoaster. I think we all understand that. I hope you come back to our group when you're ready!
