    In The Land Of Wonderful...

    Hi Ladies,
    Thought I would pop in as its been a while!!!
    Hope everyones Christmas was wonderful!
    Ours was very full on - over a week with DH's family was a little trying... at least 15 people staying in the house at one time.... god it was nice to come home!!!
    I got through everything a lot easier than I expected (with all of the females ALL being pregnant!)
    There were a couple of times I had to get up and retreat myself to the bedroom and read a book (after constant pregnancy and baby discussions!) but overall it was ok!

    Anyway! I'm heading in on Monday for my surgery... lap and a few other things in the Drs hope that he can repair my tubes and get rid of some scar tissue.
    If he doesn't think theres any point trying naturally afterwards (depending on what he finds) we are already booked in to see Dr Bowman at SIVF on 25th Jan.
    I'm still trying to figure how we will afford the cycle with them (sooo expensive compared to everyone else) but the Dr doing my surgery has told me we have to at least speak to him and then make up our minds!

    Hope everyone is doing great otherwise... sorry for my rambling post!!!

    Jo - How are you doing? I've been thinking about you a lot over Christmas, I hope your family is doing ok xxx
    Was also wondering if you had any luck with BFP?
    Thinking of you and sending big hugs

    Hi there ladies,

    Just wanted to thank all you wonderful ladies for all your thoughts for my family and I over xmas.
    Yes it was extremely hard & I'm still having some bad days but the harsh reality is that life goes on no matter how bad you may be feeling so I am back.

    The funeral was two days b4 xmas & being a double funeral it was extremely distressing & I never ever want to see someone having to bury their child so young again, such a waste of two beautiful lives. (my cousin died along with her cousin from the other side of the family).
    I have been to a couple of young funerals b4 but this was so much worse.

    One lovely thing that happened when they released balloons at the burial was that two balloons out of a huge bunch seperated when it was way up in the sky which we like to think means that they are both saying that they are ok & are both together.

    Holly - Good luck for your surgery on Monday, I will be thinking of you.
    Thanks also for asking but no I got af the day b4 xmas so I kept my f/s appoint. & that was actually yesterday & we have decided to go ahead with chlomid & IUI for my next cycle.
    I finally just said how long do we wait till we try something & he agreed that it's time.
    He said most couples have a 25% chance each month of conceiving but obviously ours was a lot less, I didn't dare ask what he though our % was.

    So in a couple of weeks I guess we'll hop on that rollar coaster & hold on tight, I really just wonder when my life is going to run smoothly it seems the last 3 years has just been one crisis after another & if I am being tested then yes I have learnt whatever lesson I am suppossed to be taught in this world.

    Anyway I really do hope that everyone else had a nice xmas & lets all pray that this year will bring lots of wonderful things for all of us.

    Jo xxx
