Re: Some updates.
 
My daughter got pregnant when she stopped stressing and worrying about getting pregnant, and began to worry about another problem!

8 years of stressing, and 3 months when stopped stressing about it

We dont stress. Just seemd odd nothing had happened in 5 years so we asked the doctor. Guess it was 3 years when we first talked to a doctor took a couple GPs later before we saw a specialist.

All of the testing to find out why is covered by MSP but none of the treatment optionss of course are covered.

There is a biological reason involved so while its possible, its unlikely to happen naturally at this point.

J.
As you know I have no children. We talked a little bit about the whys and wherefores.

Without going into any sort of personal details about this on this open forum, as that would not be right unless it was Lisa herself, the chance of pregnancy and full-term pregnancy would not be enhanced by IVF.


I am sure you will not wish to get into this too deeply & I really don't wish you to , but I take it all 'other' testing was normal & that you are both ...... erms........... y'know....hale and hearty :o.

Wife and her mom went to see my wife's brother and his wife and child for a gathering they had for their baby.

I am not currently looking for a job which is why I have not gone to any work BC type centers, I have used similar centers when looking for a job however with some success.

I think one of the days over the weekend was nice, I cannot really remember, lol

Nothing wrong with a bit of a rest up when feeling jagged around the edges.

Inlaw family gatherings are best left to inlaws unless by sheer chance one gels well together.
My outlaw lot never really took to me . I was a bit too southern & non-midlands for them. Heck. I didn't even like footie ; I drank wine; I did my own DIY and had travelled a little bit . The flippin' cheek of me !:lol:

Oh! AND I once threw away a whole load of pork scratchings as I thought they were dog biscuits gone off.

I am told that my mother in law - we get on very well - used to buy stewing packs of Veg, throwing away the parsnips in the belief they were carrots gone off. :lol:

I could see that, a friend brought some back from England and they were a lot funkier and darker than the Piggy Puffs or chicharonnes we're used to in Canada. He said they were his favourite bar snack from there but I'm guessing it's a bit of an acquired taste

I wish I did not have to sell my scooter back in August. It gave me some freedom to get around the city cheap.

Agree. That was a big shame.

Transit isn't the same, I use transit when needed now. Scooter like a car gives you a certain amount of freedom to just go somewhere.

Because of income and need for it, I have dropped from DBT group. There wasnt a way to work in both.

Also without a vehicle found it was not possible to even get there and home since it was too far to walk and transit isnt affordable enough at the moment.

We are going to try and save and hopefully in a year or 2 we will have enough to self pay.

Fair enough J. Shame for you really as it was something at least , but needs must and all that , so fair play to you for the tough decision making.

You more than deserve a respite from turmoil & for a bit of a smooth run now for both you and Lisa , not forgetting the fab Charlee too.

As requested, this thread will now be closed .

Perhaps J may wish to update us again here and there , as and when he feels that way.

:wub:
