@ Haj - that's wonderful news, I am so very happy for you. Concerning the frozen embryos, I guess that's up to you - I don't think you
have to do anything. But it might not be a bad thing : a) in case the (heaven forbid) bean doesn't stick or b) in case a couple of years down the road you want another one, you don't have to go through all the hormones, harvesting, fertilisation etc. you just use one of the frozen embryos.
@ Skeet + Kitcat : I had a similar break down to you guys just a couple of days ago! While I was thrilled to hear about one of my best friends' successful second pregnancy in Australia, I had some "upsetting" news from my Dad. When I was 18 (and living in Germany with my Mum, whom I had been sent to live with when I was 15), he and his wife adopted two girls. The youngest had a little girl in 2007, when she was 18 years old (not together with the Father, didn't finish school) and most of the time, my Dad and his wife looked / look after the little girl. My adopted sister just recently got thrown out of council housing, is living at my Father's place again : and she is now expecting a second baby in October ... and she is not together with the Father!
It makes me so angry! This girl is not even capable of looking after / supporting herself, is living off my Father / the state, and is now going to have a second child. She is irresponsible ... oh, don't get me started. There are so many couples, who are desperate to have children (look at us!), who go to the lengths of the earth to get pregnant - and then you have idiots like this! It is so frustrating! And all those babies that end up in a rubbish bin, because they were a mistake
At times like that, I ask myself, why fate is so cruel / life is so unfair sometimes...
So - as you can see, not only did I lose it a few days ago - it gets to me every time I think of it!
So ..... big big
all around - lots and lots of
all around ...
Jen : CONGRATULATIONS hun!! H+H 9 months to you
And Skeet : go girl with not smoking. My fingers are so tightly crossed for you that you manage it
