Welcome newbies

Thanks for the info Fluff, my head is going far too fast at the moment. I must start writing things down.

When we first started TTC I paid for an online psychic pregnancy reading, pile of pish really.

Anyway, I have been gearing myself up to move over to the < 12 weeks thread, but before I go I would like to say a mahoosive THANK YOU to you all for being by my side and supporting me through the last year or so. I will continue to lurk and wish for BFP's to all you lovely ladies who deserve it so much. xx

Feelings just unfold naturally. You don't need to do anything other than spend a bit of time getting your head round where you are right now. When I first accepted that I'd need a donor I thought I would worry about *this* and *that* and that I would need to sort *such and such* out.

In fact, all I needed to do was feel that I could enjoy a normal pregnancy and a normal birth to a normal child and see how I felt about everything else. It's all just detail now, an interesting footnote to Freddie's life. At the time of my treatment, the fact that I used a donor was key, a real issue, not an unpleasant one, simply an important fact. Now it's an utter irrelevancy.

I'm always happy to share my story, as you know. But I know, too, that yours will be different. So don't be afraid of finding your own way - you don't need to write things down, you just need to experience them and work out what's important. You might be surprised x.

Ooh newbies, I like it! Now let's hope we're all out of here by Christmas How bad is that new Johnson's baby advert?? No need!

Ok the list is on the front page. Just quietly I'm pretty annoyed by this whole thing today. I understand why they need to close long threads, but when there have been over 12,000 posts over a number of years, you think they could give us a moments notice that the thread needs to be closed!

Anyway...

Danielley, choc-addict and Mrs_T_M - would you like to do a little summary like on the first page? I can add you if you want.

You don't have to! But happy to add if you would like to.

It was handled pretty badly, particularly the comment about having feelings!! I never really got why they actually have to close long threads, what difference does it make??

Lets us never speak of it again! back to embarassing TTC disclosures.

You know who you are spell purchasers...

Can I give an embarassing disclosure with far too much information? After ICSI I was scared to do a number two for several days in case I pushed it out!! :eek:

Going back to the acupuncture thing, I only tried it once (stopped after imagining pushing the needles into my brain??!!), but hubby tried it once and started raking chinese herbs. Didn't improve SA, but 5/5 fertilization rate.

Going back into hiding with a red face!! xx

Sure I suppose.

Mrs_T_M: Trying since September 2012, no tests or investigations allowed yet due to weight. I am 28, DH is 25. Very regular cycles (26-29 days).
