[My Fabulous Children]

Hoping you have a little brother too! When is your due date? I'm not sure if we're going to find out the gender or not, which should be around April I think. I would love it know if it's a boy, but I am afraid I would be disappointed if it were a girl because I really want my son to have a brother...plus it would be so much easier for room arrangements! My girls already share a room and there isn't room for another bed in there!

Thanks. I think I'm due on August 1st based on my conception date. I would love to have a surprise, but I just can't stand not knowing. How can you wait, lol.

I want another boy , and related to your post about little brother, and MUCH MUCH easier for room arragments, plus I got all my son clothes save almost like new! I love the relationship between my girls and I want that for my ds too!

Hi ladies,

Sorry for lack of posting. I have been stalking but just not posting. Not sure how to write this but to cut it short it looks as though I may be infertile

I have Pelvic Congestion Syndrome. I had 2 x operations approx. 18 months ago to embolise and insert coils through the gonodal veins and ovarian veins. This cycle I have been in quite alot of pain (this syndrome causes chronic pain) and my periods seem to be getting heavier and heavier the last 6 months or so. I saw my dr today and she mentioned that I really need to consider a complete hysterectomy if I want the pain and physical discomfort to ease somewhat as the prior operations have not helped very much at all. I told her I really did not want to go that far just yet as we are trying for 1 more baby. This is when she delivered the news that I am probably now infertile anyway from the embolisation. I am yet to get in and see my vascular specialist to confirm this. They did ask me once before I was taken in to theatre the first time "Are you worried about your fertility?" I thought he ment, was I having troubles conceiving, so I told him "No, I already have 4 children"... How could I be so stupid?!! He obviously meant am I worried the op may affect my fertility.

I guess there is nothing I can do now but be greatful I already had children before this syndrome was picked up on (I have suffered it since the age of 12).

OH TTC5 I'm so sorry to read this news. I agree with hobber If I were you I would just keep trying to have another baby. Drop the timing and see at least just try. xxx

Oh no, so sorry this happened to you. If you were now infertile would you still have your periods? I hope you find out nothing is wrong.

I do get periods but they are very heavy (due to this condition).

It has really hit home now how unimportant gender is for us now

I am around CD9 and have just stopped my AF so think we will just go with the flow this cycle... pray for a miracle I guess.

Oh, I am so sorry to hear this I really hope that your specialist can give you hope for a different outcome. Yes, you are lucky to have four children but that doesn't make what you have been told any less devastating.

It sounds like you weren't properly explained the risks of the surgery?

Big (((hugs))). Thinking of you. xxx
