Hi Morganna,
It's lovely to hear from you again. Thank you for such a heartfelt message

I too have followed you and amazed at your strength with everything you have gone through and all that you have achieved since. You're a remarkable lady

It's funny you should post because I've been meaning to pm you. I've been following the Over 50's thread, I like to browse when I feel I need a little encouragement, anyway the other day I saw your post which said "Whoever is out there contemplating having a baby and being over 50...............GO FOR IT. I am the happiest i have ever been in my entire life!" - those words really touched me and sparked something inside of me. It was as if I was meant to see it...
Even though I turned 48 on Wednesday, marking 9 years of ttc, and despite the toll ivf has had on me, I still look remarkably young (even if I do say so myself

), as does Mr Essie, but even if I didn't, I FEEL young, and probably fitter than I ever was in my 20's.
Life and marriage to mr Essie aside, I've not been happy in myself for such a long time..there's rarely been laugh out loud moments, or feelings of pure joy, conscious or not, I've always felt there's been something missing.
I don't want to simply plod along in life as I have done.... I'm ready for change, so bring it on (she says tentatively)

Thanks again Morganna not just for the message but for taking the time

Essie xx
