BeiBei, ... So sorry hope I'm not 2 late wt my reply !!

NO u don't need any kind of referal

Incase my story may av bn confused ... On the 4th mth of takin my herbal formula ws wen my cycle became a 28 or 29th day cycle AND another approx 4mths of my cycle like that & then I became pregnant. So, I ws takin the Herbal Formula 4 about 7 or 7&a bit mths !!

Thought I mite add a bit of another story 4 u or any1 else 2 read ... I found out I had a growth in my uterus this past xmas & the specialist my GP referred me 2 happen 2 b an IVF specialist. My GP made it very clear on our referal letter that we were not interested in doin IVF but we wld b open 2 any other suggestions (even tho we had tryin the herbal formula again in our mind).

... To DP & my shock & horror this GYNO said to me at our appt this past January that 'I av a slim chance of fallin preg, even on IVF'

Then he rail road us in2 feelin we had no othr alternative other then IVF. He didn't even want 2 talk about clomid. Also he kindly mentioned 2 me he ws turnin the same age as me (42) this yr & I don't kno why he felt 2 mention he has children (u notice not child BUT children). I sort of did not want 2 hear that on that particular day

He checkd my results from a recently internal ultrasound & decided on the spot 2 do 1 himself.

... And guess wat he said everythin ws fine, I had no probs of any kind. AND my growth that ws found earlier is of no prob or concern.

So, we walked out $175 poorer wt paper wrk 2 go ahead wt IVF that we were not interested in doin & an absolute mountain less of HOPE in our hearts.

DP & I felt so stressed & disheartened wen w got hm.

We looked at each othr & said "Wat the hell jst happend". We didn't expect that.

DP & I decided if the GYNO in his words said I av a slim chance then why don't we DO wat we DO kno has worked 4 us b4 ... Ruth Sharkey's here we gladly come again for our 2nd round 4 baby love

THAT NITE we filled out the questionare on line & paid. AND as U kno I started my herbal formula this week.

I felt so welcomd back & I saw my GP the other day & she looked horrified 2 kno wat that damn GYNO said. As she understands 2 build your HOPE back up is not an easy thing.

So, I'm gonna de-stress myself from any negativity that has bn thrown at me & I decided like u said BEIBEI I can only give it my best shot.

Any positive thoughts I'm willing 2 suck in & absorb ... Yeh, throw em my way as I gladly invite em

I kno that many women av had babies wt the help of the Ruth Sharkey's Healing Centre & they av bn older then me. Now, that gives me som hope within itself.

MINNIEMOUSE, I av heard a itty bit about u on a post some1 that ur doin it as a single woman. My friend in Sydney went about the same way (tho not IVF) & she & her son av an amazin relationship. No father figure in his life & he is no less missin out on anythin as he is jst as beautiful as any child & avin a wonderful & fulfillin life wt his Mum like any regular kid wld.

... To be honest if I had not met my DP wen I did at 36, I can honestly say I ws plannin 2 do the same as u & my sister ws supportive of it & said she wld also consider goin it solo

A relationship wt your child & bein a Mother is NOTHIN 2 compare 2 avin that wt a partner as such. They are two totally different worlds

Let me kno BeiBei if I can help wt any other info ok. I'm here if u need me 4 anythin !! Take G8 care
