Big hugs honey. I am so gutted for you. I have read your views on the next step and it is unbelievable to think you have to pay to adopt a child - I am totally niave to this??? Surely giving love and support throughout a childs life is pricelss and when you can offer that , like we all can then money should not be involved. The nasty "bleeps" that don't look after their children should have them taken off them and they should pay to get them back if anything! Do you have to pay to adopt in all countries???
I'm so gobsmacked. We put more than financial investment into all our treatment then we get that as a "second choice". I'm sooo on my high horse now. Feel like writing to the P.M !! If it is so expensive then only the rich can afford it and they are the ones who can afford to keep trying ivf. The poor kids, like you said eating out of rubbish bins who have no value of money.
Anyway, as far as ivf goes. I am on my 6th go and each time I think this is it no more, but I never can give up. I soon manage to pick myself up and go again ( I have found it actually gets easier each time, I think now I never expect it to work so its not a shock, then I question myself why do I keep doing it if I don't expect it to work). I have been really fortunate though as we had 2 free trials, 1 semi-private that cost about £900 GBP, then the other 3 have been egg share which haas cost me £500 GBP each. I don't know if there is anyway you can use a clinic in England and get these advantages. It really is an unfair system and thats me saying that who has had it lucky.
Whatever you do - don't give up hope. I have also always looked after kids and feel I was born to be a mum, it can be a cruel world. Keep your chin up and enjoy the good things in life for a while - drink !!!! Look after yourself and DH.
Jess - Don't give up honey !!! Those pregnancy tests are not reliable so early on. I hear so many stories of people testing even on their due test date and its neg and they are actually pregnant ( this happened to my cousin twice). PMA xxxxxxxx
Everybody else - PMA PMA xxxxx
I have no flu symptoms now and feel fine. Not a single twinge or anything though. Funny how somebody said you worry when you feel something and you worry when you don't !!! Think I'm coming back as a man in my next life !!
