Well since getting my MS diagnosis and the go ahead for my FET in September I am determined to get back into shape. I have put on about 7lbs during this year of IVF and I am determined to lose it before next go. I started running yesterday and have been eating healthy for the last couple of weeks. I am certainly struggling with exercising and making myself want to exercise, but I will keep going with it.
I will get my body and my mind back on track. I am determined that for once something good has to happen in my life. I am hoping that something is a fit body and a baby!
I guess I should keep dreaming, but dreams is what keeps is going right?!?

September is soooo far away but.....
...... we have been booked in for our FET!! I am really excited that we finally have a goal and not in limbo so much anymore!!
My neurologist gave me the MS bombshell, but I am trying to remain upbeat and look forward to something positive (hopefully a pregnancy test!!) My baseline is booked for 20th September with a view to doing transfer on 6th October.
Please let this work, I am due some good news!
Oh yeah and AF the horrible witch played me up this month and gave me false hope, my period was 5 days late! I really thought that maybe, just maybe I was having good luck and a small miracle once in my life!

It is MS
So I got a call form my Neurologist on Monday. She said that she has had a meeting with other neurologists, discussed my case and they are all in agreement that my MRI looks very much like MS.
This was not a surprise to me, but I am still finding it a hard pill to swallow. I think I was a little in denial before and now, well I do not know really what it means for me. Will I lead a normal life, will MS take over my life. When will I get the symptoms again? At the moment I feel 'normal', but how long will that last?
I guess the only good news that can come of this is that I can can go ahead and try for a baby again. There are a few other tests that need to be run for further confirmation, but pregnancy apparently makes signs of MS go away. Now all I have to do is get pregnant! I will call the clinic and get my FET booked for September, my neurologist has given me the OK for September! It seems so long away, but I guess it is only 2 months! Gives me time to get myself into shape a little more.

Its 'Aunty Nic' for now
Thanks to all for comments on the last post!
Yesterday was quite a nice day with friends at a local festival with drink, sun and a picnic! My friend C who has a 5 month old baby (the one who had a miscarriage previously) came along with baby D. She was grumpy and whiny most of the afternoon, but when 'Aunty Nic' took her for a bit she cheered up and did not cry once and I had her for about an hour. We jiggled along to the music and had little conversations, smiles and she attempted to eat my hair! It was great, I loved spending time with her. I thought it would be hard, especially when people commented on how I was 'a natural', but I just smiled and said thanks. Baby D loves her 'Aunty Nic' and I loved entertaining her!
I left the festival happy (might also have something to do with the pimms!) and was in quite a good mood last night. I did however dream all night of babies and how I was pregnant. I woke up this morning, rubbed my belly and realised it was just fat, no baby :( I have had a bit of a come down from yesterday and the want and desire for a baby is as strong as ever, but C lives in my village so I can see baby D often. Until I have my own baby, it is 'Aunty Nic' for now!
