It was my 34th birthday last Monday.
I'm trying not to think too much about the fact that I am now 34, after all it is just a number. I'm obviously very conscious that I am crawling closer to the dreaded 35 but, as my husband keeps telling me lots of women are having babies in their 40s now. Now, I'm not very receptive to this. It has nothing to do with the women who are in their 40s having babies, it is the fact that I don't want to be having babies when I am in my 40s. I want them now. Correction, I wanted them three years ago but I know that you have to wait for really special things. So I am waiting, and waiting, and waiting.....
Just a quick mention of my hospital appointment next week. The appointment that I have had to wait six months for. I'm dreading it! This is the appointment where the consultant tells us that we will need assisted conception and then he will probably go on to say that the NHS has no funding for said assistance. I'm hoping that in thinking the worst I will be pleasantly surprised. Please, please, please let it be positive.

Best of luck with your appointment next week. I think most NHS trusts offer some sort of funding. But maybe only one shot at IVF (though 2 in Scotland).
What would be worse though is being told to go away and keep trying.
Hope you had a good birthday.
Praying it will be positive for you !!
I dreaded the same appointment, now im on the waiting list for IVF/ICSI.. i still have another 10 months to go before i get to the top, but at least I have a plan !, x x x
First of all, hope you had a Happy Birthday!
Second of all....oooh do I hear you on the age factor, you're not alone!
