I was even given the option to consider donor eggs. That was around july 2014. I was absolutely devastated with the news and I arranged an IVF for November 2014 and it failed also, given that I had nothing to lose, I contacted Dr.Agbazara i meet online and he send me his herbal product,. Believe it or not... I am already pregnant within few after his help. contact him today with any kind of problem and be happy like me on ( agbazara@gmail.com )bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03361286358896892000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102758362320348657.post-63478127495896735112016-02-11T06:35:55.942-05:002016-02-11T06:35:55.942-05:00Wise decision.

I've also updated the "see first" FB list so that I'm bombarded instead by cat photos.

Seriously though, thanks for acknowledging that while important, giving birth does not mean that the world stops for that person and everyone else should bow to her.BentNotBrokenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10151724076659555122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102758362320348657.post-16590989417681989502016-02-07T22:01:26.250-05:002016-02-07T22:01:26.250-05:00I think I still feel like I have to be strong, but...I think I still feel like I have to be strong, but now I'm doing a better job at acknowledging that my feelings are important too and that I have every right to take care of myself. So I will be strong from afar. At first I felt like it was a horrible thing to not go immediately to see the babies but now I realize that it's not uncommon at all, at least not for women like us who have been through what we've been through.<br /><br />I do anticipate losing it. The intensity of it is what remains to be seen.

I understand this birth is an important day for your sister, but too often this gets totally blown out of proportion where it is assumed everyone else comes second. And that's not healthy for anyone.<br /><br />So yes to boundaries and limits. And yes to also knowing it is completely okay to be be okay on that day. There's still so much to grieve. So order a good bottle of wine and plan to turn off your phone/go on a FB fast for a couple of days. <br /><br />Sending hugs.Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317873211902543387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102758362320348657.post-78712203335793147712016-02-06T02:47:22.617-05:002016-02-06T02:47:22.617-05:00Sounds like you’ve come to an understanding with y...Sounds like you’ve come to an understanding with yourself about not always having to be the strong one (I’ve just read the two earlier linked posts), and realising that your self care is just as important for yourself as trying to be supportive and caught up in your sister’s happiness.<br /><br />We’ve done the same over the years; visiting weeks later once they’re back home and settled and the plethora of visitors have dwindled; I’m still not on facebook; the last few new baby notifications have come through via email, so that helped.<br /><br />Your sister seems to maybe have some grasp of where you’re coming from. A beautiful sentiment on her part. Here’s to little victories.<br /><br />And if you need to lose it then you go right ahead... just make sure you have your required supplies on hand when you’re ready to pick yourself up again. You know, tissues, some loud kick-ass music and a g̶l̶a̶s̶s̶ bottle of good wine, and know that your online friends are thinking of you. : )<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102758362320348657.post-31892874992008748852016-02-06T01:35:21.774-05:002016-02-06T01:35:21.774-05:00I very glad that you had the courage to make some ...I very glad that you had the courage to make some simple requests. <br />And I love your sister for this sentence: "I'd love to introduce you to my son whenever you we are ready to meet him". <br />xoKlarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17028863974858724867noreply@blogger.com
