Ah 'GOOD'! I will get my DYW, some tomorrow, after she has sorted 'Boy-Blunder' out!
And who knows?, after 10years of trying for a 'BaBa', we might just get lucky!

#2. I'm still waiting, Charles ... I'm at home all day.

If you have no luck in getting a ba-ba, which I seriously wish you all the best in ... have you considered adoption??

I know people want their own, but if IVF doesn't work ... there are kids needing parents out there ... and I think (considering your usual humour) you'd make a great dad!

A friend of mine (and his wife of course) adopted two boys of three and six ... and they are a lovely family!

Even ready-made kids need love and support.

~2. BW, thankyou for the comment, I loved the last sentence and YES ALL our children require to be loved.
As you know, I have two daughters from my ex, the mad thing is, I never thought in a million years, that I would ever want another child, but I do, its like I am the broody one :-(, crazy huh?

Not at all, Charles ..... I keep wondering if my getting the snip was the right thing. I so wanted a son. Love my daughters like crazy ... but a son would've been nice. S'pose that's why I'm pretty close to my sister's laddie He's my son surrogate!

Thought I would also put this one on here, as IVF comes into it!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Its often I come on these pages, having a 'rant', but today because of this issue, i would really like to tell what its like from both sides of the coin, unfortunately not the Babies.
I have two girls (grown up now) with my ex, we were one of the first in Edinburgh to use the at that time, the new birthing room at our hospital to have our second child, which was a marvelous experience.
We also went through one termination, although that was years ago, even as a guy I don't forget about this dreaded time, so what it like for the Woman must be worse! and 'The terminated Baby', we can only imagine, if our minds let us, or possibly if you are religious, you might meet your dead Baby again someday!
As many of you know my DYW (darling young wife) and I have been TTC (trying to conceive) for 10years now, had a little help about 3years ago but no luck, we are lucky to have been given an appointment date soon to start trying for a 'BaBa' again soon.
Both my DYW and I don't have hate fr anyone that has had an abortion, but its something we both could never do, unless under Extreme circumstances, but even at that my DYW, would rather die herself, than terminate a Baby inside her.
As many should know, a 'Baby' is FULLY FORMED at about 12weeks, then its 'grow, grow, grow', so YES the 'Mums-to-Be' on here at about 18-20 weeks, it is A CHILD you feel, She or HE doesn't suddenly turn into a Baby at birth!
Also as many said, its an argument with NO easy answer, for me now, after years of having a wife working with Babies and all the courses I help her with my attitude has changed on abortion, you see even when my wife thought she was pregnant, that was it, it WAS OUR BABY, and my wife would be very careful in all she did and even I felt all 'father-like' and protective!
Life starts at conception DAY1, I used to think i
