Fertility Treatment Or Adoption???

· Leave a comment ·

So future husband and me are talking fertility treatment in Prague as it is much cheaper here in UK. So good so far.

There are different methods of course, one of them to use donor sperm/eggs. Of course you would not meet with the donor and you don’t get to know what they look like, except the colour of the hair, eyes, height. A description of the donor so to speak.

BUT:

Future husband says, he doesn’t want a donor. If he can’t have own children, he want to adopt. But an adopted child wouldn’t be his biological child either!

So I might have to come to terms with not having another child grow inside of me which is sad really as I, well we, where looking forward to it.

The other question would be, would an agency agree to give us/match us with a child? I say child, as it is very unlikely we get a newborn as waiting lists are endless and surely newborns would go to childless couples first, right?

Well as you can see from my previous posts, there is always some drama in my life, but I hope I am able to entertain you better in the near future.

Until next time…

Iron Deficiency

· 1 Comment ·

I am sitting here on my sofa on my day off and all I want to do is curl up like a shrimp and sleep the day away.

There is nothing but fatigue. I don’t even exercise and I feel frozen like a lollipop!

My iron levels must be extremely low.

A few months back, my doctor discovered that my levels are down and prescribed me tablets, but I thought with a healthy diet I would get back on track and so I dismissed the tablets.

Wrong!

I didn’t. Because of a lot of things that impacted me in a negative way, all I wanted was comfort food and we all know, that comfort food is very often not the healthiest choice.

So here I am, feeling sorry for myself once more.

But it isn’t all bad. My supplement arrived today and Mr. Google said, that I should see results within two weeks.

So prayers to the Gods and fingers crossed as I can’t go on like this. I constantly feel like someone kicked me in the head and if I could, I would be in bed by 7pm.

And I really need to get better as my job and where I live is quite depressing, so I need to be able to exercise, train for races and get me ass off the sofa! Anything really to develop a better mindset!

Until the next time…

Fertility, Fertility, Where Are You?!?

· Leave a comment ·

Yesterday I received a phone call from one of the doctors at my local surgery. Both me and future husband where tested in regards to fertility and guess what?

A next to zero chance to get pregnant naturally! That was blow number 1!

She then continues to explain that we do not fulfil the criteria for NHS fertility funding and if we want to start fertility treatment (IVF), we would have to fund it ourselves! That was blow number two!

After that she says in a very negative and dismissive tone, that even if we try, there is only a 5% success rate of pregnancy! Blow number3!

We don’t fulfil the criteria because we are over 40 and I already have children. So I wonder, where is the equality here?! Yes, I have children, but future husband doesn’t! Shouldn’t that count as well??? Or would that mean, he would have to move on to a younger childless lady to “fulfil the criteria” in order to become a first time dad?

I am angry, and I am disappointed. Not because it doesn’t happen naturally (well ok, a bit), but because the doctor was so negative and unhelpful. Of course she asked, if I have any further questions, but she didn’t point anything else out to me and only gave me vague answered to my questions for further checks.

Fertility treatment here in UK cost a lot! Who can afford that??? Go fund me pages are full with couples wanting treatment…

This is one thing to add to my “why I am unhappy list”.

Until the next time…
