Maybe I just wanted more closure on the story. For preference, a "happy" ending, even if it's bittersweet. As I said, I wonder if the author is doing better now.<BR/><BR/>BeaBeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11877513815828460269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25184159.post-51585560926797768792007-06-11T23:10:00.000+10:002007-06-11T23:10:00.000+10:00I have unfortunately been like Sandra...

I would not have taken that road so blindly, so certain that I would be pregnant within 6 months, only to wake up 6 years later to the truth about myself. Now I am older (sadly) and wiser (luckily) and am a lot more proactive about my infertility.
