First, I want to thank all of you ladies for your lovely and supportive posts. As tough as this TTC journey can be at times, your friendship and support make it SO much easier. You are all truly awesome!
First, HUGE CONGRATS TOM'S MUM!!!! I knew that we were due for a
hera and I am so happy for you Hun. As Koj said, I hope it is the first of many more to come. Can't wait to see those pictures soon.
Welcome Breadsticks
Baby: thanks for sharing your story too. It is actually really inspiring to hear about so many women's struggles and see how they continue to persevere and work towards getting that BFP, all while maintaining a positve attitude. I have my fx crossed for you Hun and really hope this cycle is lucky for you!
Lotus: Thanks Hun.
to the dumb people at your office. Some people can be so insensitve and thoughtless. Two of my good friends struggled with infertility and it took them about two years to conceive, (although both now have children). So many colleagues, family members, friends, etc would ask them when they were going to have kids, why had they waited so long, etc. It was so hard for them to deal with it. People need to realize that having children is a very personal thing and that it shouldn't be an open discussion point. If someone wants to share those details of their life that's fine but people shouldn't pry or ask questions about it, none of their business really.
Congrats on your 3 year anniversary Annio and 2 years Americona. DH and I have been married for almost 2.5 years, I can't believe the time has gone by so quickly. Hope you have a great time celebrating with your hubbies...Perhaps some
, could help get some more BFPs
More Babies: Thanks so much for your post and sending big
to you and your daughter as well. I wasn't diagnosed with Crohn's until I was 25 and I can't imagine suffering with it as a child. It is such a horrid disease and I too contemplated not having children as well because I was afraid that they could be born with Crohn's. Thankfully there is a very low chance of this happening given the fact that my DH is healthy. I actually volunteer and am the Director of Sponsorship for my local branch of the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada. There is an American version of this organization as well. I am not sure if you are aware of them or not but they have a lot of educational material and hold education seminars and support groups for family members. I also participate in a walk with some family and friends each year, which raises funds for IBD research, which you might enjoy participating in with your daughter. I have met a lot of other people with Crohn's through doing this and find it is nice to have that support group of people who know what I am going through. I have been in remission since June of this year and hope that your daughter is currently healthy and able to achieve long term remission.
Mummy: Sorry you are CD1 but I know this cycle is going to be good to us!
Wishing you tons of luck!
