Samcougar- I hope you have a sticky one too hun. Thinking of you and wishing you all the best. I am sure this one is here to stay.
Chezza- No, hun you are not putting your nose where it doesn't belong LOL. Of course you can ask. I just don't want my answer to offend. We have decided not to do IVF. It is not right for me and it is something we don't want to do. Not that it means we don't want a bub enough, there are so many reasons. I have huge respect for IVF and what has given my friends here, just not for me. Thank you for asking hun and thanks for doing so in a loving way. Not everyone can understand why we don't do IVF, we have chosen a different path, no less expensive that is for sure and the stresses are different but still very present but it is our path nonetheless. We expected ( a small part of us) that it will take longer. Anyway...it has certainly been a long wait, a sacrifice we are willing to make.
I am sorry you are struggling with your cycle so much. Just to confuse you ever more, my cervix is quite high and then through period, very low and open. I wish I could help you more. I hope the TCM can help it along.
You very brave and strong lady for venturing the baby shower as you did. As much as it hurts sometimes, holding my nephews and smelling them can be the best drug and the worst in the world. They smell so so so good. I bathed my youngest nephew the other day and he is just starting to take other things in around him...starting. He just looked at me the whole time. Well i cried like a silly aunty and sang him songs...what else can you do for such a devoted audience. God they are miracles.
I think it is tremendous that you can recognise the mother you are and want to be. To consider an egg donor is a big and possibly wonderful step. With each decision like this our growth is super huge. You are a wonderful mummy hun and i bet however it comes, your next chance for another bubba is not far away. Did you read the post Dusty wrote about her egg donor experience. It is in her blog if you haven't. it was a lovely way to look at it and so so true. It has brought her a beautiful miracle. I understand that you say you have no sisters or friends the right age and that is something else to consider. I don't think you will struggle with that.
