Hi Girls,
Gosh I have missed you all and I have so much to tell you. Grab a coffee this could take a while!
Saffy - Please don't stress about not replying promptly like I said it was more about having a vent to someone who totally understood, I know how hard it is to find inspirational things to say, if I knew what those words were I'd say them to myself. You poor thing with all the germs sounds like your poor body is under attack. I hope you find something good to dose yourself up on so your immune system can fight back. Yes I am sure bc pills is exactly what your cat needs not! Isn't it sad how much more care we take of them than ourselves, they are just too cute to ignore. I hope you are getting lots of get better soon cat cuddles.
Mich - I keep thinking of you sweetie. It must be impossible to keep positive with the spotting happening all we can do is send you and pray for a good outcome . Huge hugs babe.
Joeve - It is all so backwards isn't it! Take the pill and no bd in order to get pg, crazy! I look forward to your blog.
Tilygirl - Hi and welcome sorry I missed your arrival. I was in a similar position I found out 2 years after starting at my clinic that I had PCO no one bothered to tell me and it explained so much. I don't have the S part of PCOS so I never assumed I had it. I'm glad they are addressing it now as thyroid has a big impact and could solve your TTC issues. Good luck
TMS - Yay for +OPK I hope you get a chance to bd with all the other stuff that is coming up. Take good care of yourself.
AFM- Well I survived the 4 days of my mother's visit, just!! There is nothing relaxing about having her here, we were on the go constantly so it did not help that AF arrived while she was here. On the plus side she did buy me a new TV which was very sweet of her. We also had 2 very different but equally interesting conversations while she was here.
I talked to her about what I had found out about being able to adopt if I move to NSW which she was very excited about. However when I told her that I would consider adopting a child with Downs Syndrome she became quite vocal and told me in no uncertain terms that if I was to give birth to a Downs Syndrome baby she would "have to learn to love it" because it was my child but she would not feel the same if it was not my natural child and she would not want to be a grand parent of an adopted special needs child! Charming! I actually did not get too upset by this as I believe that she would love the child no matter what and that she has very little understanding of children with Downs and also quite frankly if that is what I choose to do then tough! I think for her generation there is also still some sense of stigma attached to having a disabled child in the family.
Our next conversation of note was quite different and will forever go down in my mind as one of the most embarrassing moments of my entire life! We were playing cards and she asked if she could ask me a personal question. I said sure. She was a little reluctant but then blurted out "when you self inseminate do you make yourself orgasm afterwards?" I just wanted the ground to open up and swallow me whole!!! I am not an easily embarrassed person at all but my mother and I have NEVER discussed anything personal, NEVER talked about sex or anything like that, EVER!!! From anyone else the question would not have fazed me in the least but from her I was in total shock. Goodness knows where she got the info that this is recommended, it was so totally random I still can hardly believe it happened .
So I have looked a bit more into the adoption stuff and it seems I could adopt in NSW though it would be easier if I was willing to take siblings or a special needs child either of which I would be happy with. I am still planning to talk to Donor daddy this weekend about where we go as far as TTC and my mum did offer to pay for one round of IVF if he is willing to do it. I am in 2 minds, as like Saffy, I have no faith at all in it working. I can no longer imagine myself with a big pregnant belly or a newborn it just seems too impossible now. People keep telling me this is the best way to be and that when you give up all hope it happens so who knows. I do feel there would be far less pressure this time since I will know in the back of my mind that if it doesn't work I will simply move house and adopt and I will be a mum no matter what. If we do go for it we will still be taking a 3-4 month break first. I will keep you posted about what he says.
Sorry for the huge post I hope it at least gave you laugh.
