Hi Guys I am back after having what seems like weeks away from you all..just getting my head around things really.. We have now sold our house..bought a new one and just waiting for contracts to be exchanged.. I have also started thinking about a job change as my current post is a little wobberly in the current economic climate. dh and I have decided 100% that we are not having any more ICSI and plan to go for adoption next year. We have 6 Merional powders left so so if anyone wants to buy some we will sort out a special price for you. I also have an unused injector pen if anyone wants one.. Love Becky B

Hi Becky, Just wanted to say something, although for once not totally sure what. In one respect I feel sad that you've made the decision to move away from IVF and yet I know that you must have thought long and hard about this and it is probably what you don't want me to say - take it as purely selfish reasons on my part that I will miss your contribution to this rollercoaster we face (I think of you as 'Missie Pink Slippers' with a smile). Please, please keep in touch though, and I for one will want to share all the highs (and be there for any lows) of the new process you face and hope that your dreams will come true sooner rather than later. Have you decided what age you want to adopt? If it was me, I'd like a baby or a 5 year old girl - I have a niece around that age and it just seems the perfect age, with so much of life to have help discovering. All the very best of luck in your new house, and maybe soon in your new job and in your quest for a 'new' family. Enjoy the excitement of the change, but remember to take some time out - it sounds quite a lot to go through so soon. Take Care of yourself sweetie and may 2003 be the year that brings you the happiness you seek. Lots of Love Fiona xxxx

Dear Becky, That's a very brave decision for both of you to make! I imagine that it's a difficult decision to come to, but at least you may feel some relief now that you've done it. I think for all of us on this website, it is in the back of our minds that one day we may also have to give up putting ourselves through fertilty treatment if continues not working. Good luck with the adoption process - I'm sure you and your husband will be able to offer a child / children lots of love that they so desparately need. Alison

Hi Becky my old cycle buddy! Lovely to hear from you and hear that you're moving on with everything. Can't believe you've exchanged contracts on a new house already - when you decide to do something you don't hang about do you?! I really admire you for making the adoption decision. I really know bugger all about adoption and like Fiona would love you to keep in touch and let us know how everything goes. Very best wishes for 2003 - knowing you it will be filled with 101 different and exciting things! Much love Alison x

Thanks girls for your kind words...I is so nice to hear from you all..really missed you whilst getting back into 'normal' living!! is there such a thing? Does anyone need my Merional?? I can't bare the thought of going back to the fertility clinic and waiting there in that little room to be told that 'we can't buy back any unused drugs...' werll to me that is £70 or so sitting in those little glass bottles... Just got back into the 'not thinking babies all the time' and went for a walk today to see our best friends to have a tea whilst they packed up their house before they move...and I put down my cup of tea on a book....a pregnancy book!!! urgghhhhhurrghhhh urrrghhhh Is she?? Isnt she?? Are they trying??? all of the questions wizzed around my head and all of those feelings came flooding back...the feeling of losing control...know it?? I am so sorry to read all of the sad stories..what have we all down in our past to suffer so much through all of this? sorry to dribble but..kinda stored all my feelings up whilst dealing with our 'little loss'..cant really say loss after such horrid things have happened to a few of you..(in case you dont know me or remember dh and I had ICSI which although I had HCG..had a very low level so either early mc or cp..who knows..never will.. love Becky B

Hi Becky, I'm new on this site but i felt so moved by your entry. I was adopted at birth and have also thought many times about adopting a baby myself. (my ex husband and i had 6 clomid attempts and 1 miscarriage from a egg transfer after hyperstimulation). My new partner and i are about to embark on our 1st ICSI (i have PCOS, he has low count). I would like to wish you all the luck for the future, i have never ever felt unloved and my mum (adopted) told me she chose me ! ! It would be nice if you could keep us posted as to how you get on as I for one would definately look to adoption if we are unsuccessful with treatment. all the best for the future. Becky x x

Hi Bex (Becky) I am so pleased that you replied to my post..I am so excited about giving all my stored up love to an adoptive child or 2. We plan to go for siblings..around 2/3 years and 4/5 or so as the process is so drawn out and invasive. It may sound strange but I am so much more excited to go for adoption then I felt for IVF as I know that I am helping so much more this way..I think that I am meant to be an adoptive mummy..comes down to personal choice I suppose. I would love to keep in contact..we plan to apply around April/May (just going to have some of 'our' time for the moment. We are also moving house (hoping to anyway just waiting for contract exchange) at the end of Feb..a nice child friendly house with a big garden for playing football!! I was sort of surprized that you have gone through IVF so many times if you have such warm feelings for adoption. The only worry I have is that if and when my adoptive children reach 18 they go to find their biological parents..what are you thoughts on that? hope to hear from you soon Becky B

Hi Becky, I grew up knowing i was adopted from as young as i remember. my adopted father walked away before i was 1 year old but i still see him. However, when i got married myself and initially tried for a child of my own, i did have a yearn to see who i looked like. I did this with the full blessing of my adopted mum (she will only ever be my mum) to cut a long story short, i now have regular contact with my birth father and a 1/2 brother 2 yrs younger than me. My birth mother chose to have nothing to do with me but i do speak to her sister and family. To me, my mum (adopted) is my mum in every sense - a parent is someone who brings you up regardless if they give birth to you or not. I have a lot of insecurities around my father leaving us and my mum having to bring me and my 2 adopted brothers up alone and i'm sure that's part of the reason i yearn for a birth child of my own. I wish you all the luck for the future and please, please keep in touch with how everythings going. Becky x x
