Trying for a Baby Part 8

tea_lover

scooby - hello, welcome to our [STRIKE]mad house[/STRIKE] lovely thread. :j Hopefully your stay will be a short one, for the right reasons. So sorry to hear about your TFMR, that must have been awful for you both x.
mrsj - just what I was going to say about COMP's priorities!

Re. queue jumping.... I guess it's the same here as IRL, when friends/family get pg. I think it's perfectly possible to be really happy for someone, and a teensy bit jealous at the same time. Imho, that's perfectly natural when it's something we want so badly. Anyway, as someone else has posted before I don't want anyone else's baby, I want our baby. Although, having had a look at the new pics on the newborn thread this morning I could steal some of their gorgeous bubbas! :rotfl:

ooh yes, i could steal my niece everytime i see her, she'd well fit in my handbag and everyone thinks she looks like i did as a baby so totally passable as mine.

then again, you see some babies and think 'oh no you can keep that one' :rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: so true!

At the moment I could steal Tink's DD2 as she is SO cute Weirdly actual children (like walking talking ones...) make me broody these days almost even more than babies! DH and I looked after my friends two little girls last week, aged 6 and 3, took them out for the day and had THE BEST time! We didn't really want to take them back

Please don't worry too much though ladies, I promise not to go and steal a child [STRIKE]yet[/STRIKE].

I was with a 5 yr old, 2 yr old and 1 yr old last week (and their parents, I didn't just find them wandering the streets ) and I could have happily taken them all home with me.

Welcome Scooby, so sorry about the TFMR My SIL had to go through that earlier this year and it was awful, happily she's PG again now (although I'm still not supposed to know, I can't help being ultra perceptive and figuring it out! ), I hope your stay is short and sweet!

I don't really know what to do with kids I like babies because you can just cuddle them and make funny noises and faces and they're happy, it's when they can talk to me that I get stuck as I have no idea what to talk to them about!

Wait until they're 13.....:rotfl:My eldest neice is a bit like Jekyll and Hyde at the moment. Lovely one minute and a right little madam the next! Yesterday her statuses were all about how unfair and 'out of order' her Dad was for not taking them to Hastings. And then it was her sister's fault, who she called stupid! :mad: She knows better than that.

Ruddy teenage hormones!

That certainly looks like a positive to me COMP

Amy, how old were you when you were adopted? We discussed adoption and/or fostering before even TTC. We've always said we've like to do it at some stage, regardless of biological children. At some point we'll look further into it, but my concern right now is that I wouldn't press on medical grounds.:o We would both like a biological child first, if only so we can learn on the job and prove we can do it, before being scrutinised by some panel or other if we had more than one biological child I think we'd foster, and try to help as many kids as possible. If we weren't that lucky we'd be more likely to adopt instead. It's all just a theory atm though

For clarification, it's not that I'm against IVF, or not grateful that there are options in the world - but yes, it does suck to realise you are one of those who probably will need it; and it's incredibly daunting when you get to the stage where you're about to get up close and personal with it. Like tealover said, we thought we had one plan (clomid for 6 cycles, hope for the best, but if it didn't work then 18wk waiting list for Assisted Conception) - now I feel like that 6 months of hope, with no further interference, has been stolen from me

COMP - good luck

Razwaz - I don't know why you'd have to wait a further 10months to see a FS?! :huh:Doctors don't discriminate between NTNP and TTC. If you're happy to use a donor that's great, but I think I'd still be getting a referral in for a FS regardless.
