However, like your situation, I think my husband would be willing to try more fertility treatments first, but since it's my body that has such hardship, he's letting me make the final decision.<BR/><BR/>I also agree with your comments about Alba. I think of the time travel as both a blessing and curse. It seems like for Alba it will be more of a blessing and less of curse than it was for Henry.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02799401502134619497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18963968.post-38052810805660177882007-04-18T04:42:00.000-05:002007-04-18T04:42:00.000-05:00People put different importance on the genetic lin...People put different importance on the genetic link.<BR/><BR/>I always assumed that it was someone's OWN genes they wanted to pass on (biological imperative) but after reading the book, I realised it can be one's PARTNER'S genes that are important in a decision how to proceed.<BR/><BR/>Clare: “My body wanted a baby. I felt empty and I wanted to be full. I wanted someone to love who would stay: stay and be there, always. And I wanted Henry to be in this child, so that when he was gone, he wouldn’t be entirely gone, there would be a bit of him with me.”<BR/><BR/>I hope you and your partner can find your way forward together.<BR/><BR/>xDrowned Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10986235620079099752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18963968.post-45849399824240011622007-04-17T12:46:00.000-05:002007-04-17T12:46:00.000-05:00I liked your answer about Alba's future as well. ...I liked your answer about Alba's future as well.

He goes back in time to see her many times but he is never able to have 'moments' with her. He totally wants Claire to never have to want for that moment. She knows that it will come.<BR/><BR/>Great thoughts!Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14570018200281339937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18963968.post-6457804013047022132007-04-16T15:29:00.000-05:002007-04-16T15:29:00.000-05:00Great answers.

I think fertility treatments can become addictive--there's always that chance that it will work next time. And it's hard to walk away. <BR/><BR/>I also liked your predictions for Alba's future :-) I wanted to believe that she will be fine.Lollipop Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020874415819057995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18963968.post-25250773404734829362007-04-16T08:00:00.000-05:002007-04-16T08:00:00.000-05:00Your post is very touching.I guess, in a way, I fe...Your post is very touching.<BR/><BR/>I guess, in a way, I felt that having a baby of your own was something women feel a greater need for than men - though logically, I know it's not true... I guess its the issue of pregnancy and childbirth - that it seems as if a woman deciding not to go ahead is giving up more. I enjoyed reading your feelings about adoption and your frustration with IVF.<BR/><BR/>This is the only post I've read on your blog, but it makes me wonder if you have considered both adopting and continuing with your treatments...Rachel Inbarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06605780418673759318noreply@blogger.com
