Hippy Thanks for the words of encouragement, now can I give you one or two? Please get your head out of that MC thread; you know it is not good for you at the moment. Please don?t feel you have to keep going back there. Please stay positive. Well, actually that is a lot of words but you know what I mean.
Jollster how?s it going with you?
Haystack Welcome back.
Kiwi how are you feeling? When will you tell wicked boss?
Frosticle Pooh to your doc for being mean. Not sure a clinic can offer much but depends what the problem is and worth a look if you have the money to explore it. Are you in the UK? There are certainly clinics that take people of 45, but the chances are not great, as I am sure you know, and I am not sure how much assistance helps but always best to ask. Your GP probably knows less about this than we all do!
Frosticle I think it would totally feel like a proper sibling if they were brought up together. It is more a case (I think) of what you and your DP think and what you are willing to go through if you wish to have a baby. Whatever your DD's biological father thinks should not come into it. We are busy trying to make a baby with a donor egg this week. It is not an easy route and you need to feel it is right for you but if you wish to explore it I would not let your doc or your ex put you off at least finding out the facts.
Good luck, whatever you decide, it must be what is right for you all as a new family not for other people but for what it is worth I don't think it would affect how your DD saw a sibling.
WAVES to Rowing, Gumblosson, Alba, ILGH, TFLS, Hopeful45 and all.
DH has two jobs, take price label off the gift for donor and provide swimmers, so far failed at number one let?s hope number two goes well this week (to be fair to him price label was craftily hidden in the box but oh well!).
Told DD I was having an operation on my tummy and she must not touch it or I will cry! Said we were still trying to have a baby, and she said she would open the presents for the baby as babies aren?t very good at opening presents! She is all happy about the idea of a baby but I know that ten minutes in the company of a hamster and she would be crying out for one of them instead! I have tried not to raise her hopes, just to tell her we are still trying.
I'm totally stressed, tension headache in back of neck, in tears at church today because DD said something mean in the loos, it sounds like high school! I spoke to her tonight and she said sorry, she can be the most loving and also the most mean! Madly, I still want another one! If I am honest I kind of feel it will work or it won?t. I am being positive and looking at an orange pen as I type!
I mentioned a while ago that my dentist said there was some link between bad gums and problems in pregnancy. It might have been here or the other thread or both. And someone asked about it and I don?t know the answer.
BUT to Whoeverwasaskingmeaboutbadgumsinpregnacny I think that the probable thing is that poorer people with poorer access to health care probably have poorer dental care and more problems in pregnancy so my guess is that is the correlation BUT I am not a scientist. Maybe my dentist just told me to sell me a session with the hygienist! good toothy icon!
