Hi Ellie

Sorry to hear that you are still experiencing MS! Still your puppy must be a great distraction. We have four cats - yep you read right - 4 cats! And even though we found that one of them had had 2 little 'accidents' this morning, we still love them dearly and spoil them rotten. I guess they are our baby substitutes - they are so great when you want to cuddle something small and warm and get lots of unconditional love in return.

Re your boss - sounds like an absolute ogre! My boss is an idiot and has no respect for me at all. I am desperately trying to find another job and am looking at changing companies if I have to, although that will be a real hassle because my DP works at the same company I do - kinda convenient at times. But, there comes a time when you know in yourself that enough is enough and you cannot let them treat you that way anymore. We are in the 21st century now and women have the vote and can own property and everything. And yes, we have babies, and yes sometimes that road is not always the easiest, but regardless, we are still valuable members of the workplace and they cannot treat us like cr*p. So, only you will know when you need to take action - you owe it to yourself - no-one needs stress like that in their lives, let alone when you are going through personal stress as well!

I think you are right to pursue why it is that you had the mc - I think I read in another forum that there was someone in a similar situation who was referred to a specialist and they managed to sort out the problem and were now through their 1st trimester. I will try to find it for you and let you know which forum it was in.

So, feet up, relax, consider your options for the future and take them. You never know what is around the corner!
