So this week has been a very up and down sort of week. As I mentioned I had a specialist appointment, and I have another one this Wednesday as well. Although I am not sure that this next one is going to change anything significantly.
So the long and the short of it is that it is unlikely that Si and I will be having any children. The specialists are concerned with how much stress a pregnancy will put on my body and my liver especially. Even if it is okay ( I will find out Wed) it appears I would need assistance to get pregnant, as I don't appear to be ovulating normally and we have decided that it would be unwise to add more drugs to the mix. SO, what does that mean. Well, depending on what the Dr says on Wednesday we will either A) Keep Trying without drugs or B) look into fostering and adoption.
As you can imagine this week has been pretty rough and I have done my fair share of withdrawing into my own little shell. I am slowly pulling myself out of it, but it sure has been a bit rough.
Also could there be a chance of passing any of your diagnosis onto your own child? There are loads of babies and children to adopt I'm sure and you will love them all the same.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry Janine and Si, I know you must be feeling terrible at this time, but as an adopted child myself, I can tell you you would be fantastic parents and any child would be lucky to be adopted by you both.
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself Janine
Yes, that news would be hard and would get you down. Glad to hear you are pulling yourself up, you still have lots to look forward to and what a great time to start crossing of things on your list of all you want to do. Go and get those nails done to make you feel good and that will be one thing to cross off. Always here (somewhere!!)if you need to chat. (bet you laughed at that comment as you can never get hold of me.. oops!!!) Hugs, Annie
ReplyDeleteHopefully Option A ("Keep Trying without drugs") will work for you, but Option B wouldn't be bad at all. Best wishes to you.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you are having to go thru all this. It must be so very upsetting for both of you.
ReplyDeleteOh Janine and Si I am so sorry to hear this I can understand how you feel love...Jimmy and I wnet thru similar year ago keep your chin up love...a hug is on order for in November my friend
ReplyDeleteWell that just sucks doesn't it! Never give up... if a child is in your future it will happen!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that you're dealing with this... I know I will also have difficulties whenever it is time to start trying... Just keep your head up and hopefully you got good news yesterday!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
