Moving along
I am feeling much better. So much so that I feel embarassed about last week's breakdown but I want to thank my commentors for being so nice about it. It's funny, I regularly wear sackcloth and ashes about what a bad wife I am in not being able to give H gorgeous little H-lets to run up and down the corridor. Then I get told that H can still have children but me? possibly not, and I go to pieces. Obviously my desires are more present in all of this than I realise. It is all about me after all.
And there are still options. We are lucky enough to be able to consider other options. I definitely need to work on the glass-half-full-view.
It's been interesting, I can say that much.
Maybe the desires are mixed? It's about providing H-lets that are jointly a part of the two of you. So it is about H, but it's about you too?
I'm sending good thoughts for Plan B's and other options.

Glad to hear your feeling better. It's always good to have back-up plan(s),

Sometimes you just have to let it all spill out. It helps, eventually.
Glad you're feeling better.

It *is* hard, no doubt about it. But I'm glad to hear you're feeling a bit better.

Hey, it can't be all about you, 'cause it's all about ME!
Truly, I'm glad your seeing the half-full view...

Glad you are feeling better. And feel free to have a "meltdown" whenever you want to. We'll all be here to read, no matter what.

It's so hard. And there's so much grief in letting go of your hopes and expectations -- even if you didn't realize how important they were until you couldn't get them. If that makes any sense.
Glad that you are feeling better. I'm all about the meltdowns, and often feel better after I have one, believe it or not.
Take care.
