[briggsy's girl]

firstly Sonya - i'm so sorry - i read your post and could have sworn i posted earlier than this!!! maybe my puter has gremlins that ate my post or something! i think what you've posted about your SIL is happening to a lot of people - and it drives me insane! being competitive in some aspects of life is healthy, but to be competitive (and downright b!tchy if you ask me) about becoming pregnant is just a very low act! My SIL has had to deal with this from one of her ex-SIL's during each of her pregnancies - to the point that said ex-SIL did a lot of stuff against medical advice so as to encourage pre-eclampsia and put both herself and her daughter at risk, JUST to give birth to the first grand daughter in SIL's family. she then stated she'd never have more children, only to be pg again within weeks of SIL announcing both second and third pregnancies. i don't understand that kind of behaviour. i can only send you massive cyber hugs and truck loads of understanding! hoping you'll be pg well before her from that solo frosty babe and then you can stick it up her - at least you KNOW your baby is much wanted and will be much loved, not simply a trophy to show that you're able to achieve something someone else can't

Holly, hoping your DH can get his sample tested soon so that you can kick off again. hoping both you and Megan can join Sonya in getting July BFP's!

as for me - well, i guess i need to offer a second apology for being seemingly AWOL of late. i've just had a really tough time dealing with everything that has happened, and facing the prospect of another full stim cycle - and trying to coordinate that with DH working away. i know his boss is the most fantastic boss and will have him here when i NEED him physically, but trying to sort my self out so that i don't need him here emotionally for the rest of the cycle is scaring the cr@p out of me. add to that a chiro who has asked me to speak to my GP about a potential diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and i'm one freaked out little vegemite! i don't want to be told i have CFS - but at the same time, if i am, it might help with finding coping mechanisms! and being "labelled" will help with getting some more understanding at work - its hard to be at work and feel so damn flat after lunch, and to get absolutely NO understanding!
