I always wanted a backup but never wanted twins.<br /><br />Here is hoping you don't need a back up. <br /><br />Stupid infertility baggage.Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01215000341567119958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796780809065825294.post-86578635316871340972009-07-26T14:10:37.006-07:002009-07-26T14:10:37.006-07:00It's so sad that our lives are all about uncer...It's so sad that our lives are all about uncertainty, all about the big IF. I can totally understand your thinking of a second as a back-up. I'm sure I would, too. Hope and fear are two sides of the same coin and I'm realizing that we all keep flipping that coin over and over as we wait for the next test, the next step...That seems to be our normal and that's okay. I'm so glad that all the results have been so positive for both you and your whitish circle so far - sending lots of good energy your way!Mad Hatterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08262994711680542891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796780809065825294.post-80394854814209345042009-07-26T07:53:43.332-07:002009-07-26T07:53:43.332-07:00I completely understand.

I don't think I really believed that my daughter was actually going to arrive until I was 32 weeks into the pregnancy, and that was the first time that I even relaxed a little.abogadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10248778296897782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796780809065825294.post-37535862435804495462009-07-25T19:27:37.634-07:002009-07-25T19:27:37.634-07:00All I can say is, I hear you, sister. The idea of...All I can say is, I hear you, sister. The idea of a backup makes perfect sense to me. And what does that say about me, about us, and about what we've been through.<br /><br />At this point, you and I (and anyone else who feels this way) are entitled to have dark, morbid, creepy thoughts about pregnancy. We have leeway for some pessimism. <br /><br />But I hope you find some space for some hope in there, too. Because if you lose this pregnancy you'll be devastated whether you let yourself believe or not. So why not try to find some peace in the meantime.<br /><br />(Speaking to myself as well, by the way, in case this is sounding preachy.)<br /><br />Hang in there.

I really hope you do get to meet that whitish circle next March, and that when you do, you'll recall thinking about the "backup baby" and you'll just smile to yourself, thinking how silly you were. Here's hoping all your dreams come true.Best When Used Byhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17252417951291793892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796780809065825294.post-64955137001798620082009-07-25T08:51:21.216-07:002009-07-25T08:51:21.216-07:00very happy to hear that you saw what you needed to...very happy to hear that you saw what you needed to see and praying that next week the results are even better :)just me, dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03046206651954423260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796780809065825294.post-83927200100169731202009-07-25T08:37:10.555-07:002009-07-25T08:37:10.555-07:00I know exactly how you feel. The thought of twins...I know exactly how you feel. The thought of twins was MORE THAN terrifying to me. Not only from a danger standpoint when you're over 40 (which is terrifying ENOUGH!) but because two? ARE you effen kidding?! That's hard-core - that's no joke!<br /><br />However, there was this perverse thought in me on transfer day that if I transferred two kick-ass embryos (of which I was lucky to have more than a dozen), I would have a "back-up" too. I thought, Hey, one could decide it had better places to be than my boring uterus and then I'd still have the back-up. (we're being truthful here)<br /><br />Now to you - Lorraine! I'm so thrilled for you. It looks like you have one very strong little bugger in there (think of those betas) with big muscles and everything! :)<br /><br />Can't wait until your next scan!Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18288560043939554132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796780809065825294.post-25461210603480869432009-07-24T23:25:42.150-07:002009-07-24T23:25:42.150-07:00Hooray!
