WOW - I dont know what just happened but I lost a thread. I shall try again...
Hi everyone
Kirsty - I admire your decision. It sounds scary. I can't begin to imagine really. I have also had only one pg and subsequent m/c and that was the saddest event of my life. I can only imagine your pain at the loss of your little girl. No doubt your dh is also terribly frightened of seeing you pg again. However. On the positive side, you have made a decision which gives you some control over your life. I struggle with the lack of choice that infertility brings. In other words, people assume we have chosen not to have children, or that if tomorrow we decided we wanted to start a family it would be that simple. So - I'm preaching to the converted here huh? Anyway - having some choice is positive I think.
Obviously with your decision comes a lot of fear. Which makes you very brave, and I'm honoured to be one of the people you have told.
On a positive - doing IVF means you will be monitored and under a specialist if you do become pg. If you want a kind and sympathetic woman spec, you cant beat Mary Birdsall at FA, she is lovely.
Check out
www.everybody.co.nz there is a bulletin board there with a strong IVF thread. some lovely women post there. But that doesnt mean you're allowed to stop posting here. OK?
Take care out there. don't be a stranger
Lou
