Hi Gargy, hoping the throat is back to 100% soon. [[ HUGS ]] As for convincing yourself that a life without children is possible - I SO know what you're saying. I've tried to go down that route, particulary after my last unsuccessful IVF cycle in July last year - I'd almost thought I'd had enough then. BUT I'm not ready to give up just yet. I hope it's not wishful thinking but I honestly feel like I'm meant to be a Mum. I don't know exactly how or when but it's going to happen. And I hope that is the same for every other wonderful woman here. xoxo
Actually had a good weird experience last week. Although I have been seeing the same male GP for quite a few years now, he got sick himself with bowel cancer a few years ago so I had to find another GP. Never found one I was really happy with and ended up going to a local Women's Clinic. The female GP there is AMAZING but unfortunately her main clinic has a waiting list for new patients and it's tough getting an appointment with the Women's Clinic because everyone wants to see her!
Anyway, my GP is well and back at work again and although he knows about all the IVF stuff he has hardly said a word to me about it (I still go to the Women's Clinic to discuss anything fertility related). BUT when I saw my GP last week for this stupid sore throat and to get some antibiotics, he started asking me all about IVF and where I'm up to and wished me luck with this current cycle.
AND then he went on to ask me all about my plans once I'm pregnant, did I want to go private or public, he could recommend a good gyno, discussed some of the risks at my age etc etc! It seemed so out of the blue! I told him that I had been thinking about all that stuff when I first started down this road in 2004 but that now all I could think about was just the first step of actually getting pregnant!
But I have to admit it was SO NICE talking about actually being pregnant! I'm a horror for looking for 'signs' but I couldn't help thinking it was a great sign and it felt great! LOL!
