That gives me 5 weeks and aprox. 2 more bouts with Thrush before we are done. I am just getting fed up with the whole thing. I'm not really happy about it, I'm actually pretty sad, but it is such a PITA. I think once I am finally done with it i will be relieved. I hope. Now I just need to figure out how to go about weaning her.

I think you're doing what's best for you though, and you should be quite proud of yourself. -------------------- ~Marie, mom to Robbie, 15 and Anthony, 7 and our newest addition, Mia Eliana~ ~~I promise to forget you not, my angels in heaven being watched by our fallen heroes, Dec 23 08, April 1 09, & May 18 09~~

I totally agree.

I hope the weaning goes well!

Ruby Member Group: Members Posts: 12,652 Member No.: 2,561 Joined: 24-September 05	Thanks for your support guys. It really helps. I'm just sad that things didn't work out for me, but on the same hand I am excited to just be done with it, and not have to deal with any of it or worry about it any more. Are't hormones great?!
