    Besides- pregnancy/ equality rights at work have been hard fought for without guilting ourselves out of them... :)

    ^^ This. A million times over.

    Take the job, tea lover. There's absolutely no reason, moral or otherwise, that you shouldn't.

    I'm very much hoping it will tempt fate... I take the job, then surely the pg will stick right??

    Tea, is it what you want? Would it make you feel better to have that steady income, regardless of pregnancy or not? Could you ask for a little time to think about it...?

    I forgot what I wanted to reply to some of you ladies while I've been sulking. Sorry :o

    Thanks for the support re last night. I wish I felt better... I'd be lying if I said I did :(

    Sorry Lisa that you have decided to call it quits, i can't say I blame you. You have endured so much and it must have been a difficult decision. May I wish you all the happiness in the future.

    loulou, that sucks.
    I know what you are saying about testing (not that I could ever resist when there was actually a point to it!)

    If all your tests came back ok then you really do need to get hubby to do his part. Everyone gets a long cycle now and then, doesn't mean anything on it's own, it isn't even indicative on it's own.

    My future is now planned without kids after 9 IVFs and 11 years ttc.
    Don't give up, but try not to let it take your life over, I made the mistake of putting everything on hold and not living my life, but I know how gosh darn hard that is to do in reality.

    Hoping that your wrong about the BFN x

    Thank you SO much for your post :) sorry to hear you've been through so much ov your ttc journey, it puts my moaning about just over 2 years into perspective for me.

    I think I have put my life on hold somewhat, and I know that's a silly thing to do but its so damn hard not to. Hubby doesn't seem to understand that side of it (he wants a baby as much as me,) but he's a "live life in the moment" and "whatll be will be" kind of guy. I guess its proberly harder on us girls, as we are the ones looking for symptoms etc every month.

    I have got him quotes for his SA privately (as he didn't want to go to his GP for some reason) and all he has to do is tell me when he can get time off work and I'll book the appointment for him. I know he's really worried that the problems with him, and I suspect this is why he's so hesitant.
