mrsN Ugh, so it's limbo for you. I know, I know, you've been there too many times and know the drill... but stranger things have happened at sea and all that. God knows I don't want this to sound trite (it might anyway, so I do apologise in advance if so... I just feel it important to say) but as you are, y'know, kinda mature, and as we all know our egg quality does decline with age, have you looked at high dose b vits to try and improve your egg quality? I'm a huge advocate of the hugh dose b vits for multiple reasons (as the regulars here will know), but in your case, I mention as women going through IVF who take high dose b vits whilst in the follicular stage of their cycle have been noted to produce more and 'better quality' eggs. For anyone, I feel this is a good reason to take them - obviously some more than others will particularly benefit.
I hope I don't sound like a woo fairy, blowing sunshine up your arse: la, la, la, all you need to do is take vitamins, dontcha know?!
I just... something to consider, eh? That's IF things haven't worked out.
Jaffa WOOHOOOOOO lady, that is awesome news!
Ilove Hey, welcome and come on in. There're a few of us here with later losses - makes for a special variety of metalling once a bfp is achieved but with hand holding many of us are 'getting there'. Reassuring stats from the other thread, too.
wrigle I, too, felt an embarassment. Wait. Is that really what I felt? I mean... I felt awful to have to tell people the bad news, knowing it would make them feel bad too, y'know? I also fretted about not telling/talking about it to people though - I wanted to talk but didn't want to upset people and pardoxically didn't want people to ignore it because I wanted them to be as upset as me. That whole 'the world keeps on turning and life goes on for everyone else ' was quite difficult to deal with.
I don't know that there is any hard or fast answers - yes, mc is more common than most of ever realised before but is still taboo. And if not quite taboo then just so... emotive it's difficult to guage in 'polite society'. As members of the club ourselves I think most of use recognise that a) it's usually only other 'members' who know the 'right' or 'almost right' thing to say - those who don't 'know' often - and well meaning - put their feet in their mouths. How many of us have suffered insensitive comments, some that may have cut to the quick, but when looked at objectively we know were said with the 'best intention'. Even knowing that, we just wish, for the most part, they'd stfu. So 'they' (non club members) for the most part, can't really win. Damned if they do, damned if they don't. So, therefore, b) it's really important to seek out those who do know and so can offer the right kind of support - even if it's 'only' an ear.
At least we have sites like this. I can't imagine what a basket case I'd have been without MN, tbh, and my goodness how did women cope before MN and the internet in general? valium? seriously!
Rambly, much. I should probably proof read/edit but this is already ataking forever... must post, gotta go out for dinner...
Well, it's DF's birthday today! 35! My toyboy 
. So, naturally, he's had ds2 most of the day whilst I went to get my hair done! And... it's not a disaster! It's still a work in progress, not entirely 'there' yet, but I don't wanna cry so that's a step forward!
Tomorrow, I shall need a morning pass out of the mosh pit for that New Look thingy. I hope I manage to sleep tonight! I had to get up at stupid o'clock this morning cos I just. Can't. Sleep. And the bags are starting to show under my eyes!
