    I've re-worded my post now, it was a bit misleading, sorry:o

    DH and I have been back together for 4 months now, and been on two holidays, and it seems to be working out.
    To cut a veeeery long story short, I told him to change into a good person, and he seems to have changed, for now:cool:

    DH wants me to go back to IVF, but I'm not so keen:o
    I've been TTCing for 4 years, and done 5 ECs, 2 ETs, 3 IUIs and 4 Clomids. I'm getting old as well. I think I'll leave it for now.

    Egg donation. Best thing I ever did.

    I'm sorry I can't remember who said it, but someone was talking about acupuncture? I went for a consultation today and I'm not 100% convinced. Any success stories? Thanksnx

    OMG OMG OMG Bigzippy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:j
    I was away for few days and the first post I see this!
    I've done the congrats post on the TTC forum, took me few seconds to remember how I did it:think::D

    I'm so very excited for you!
    I will be stalking you until the birth, you can't hide from me:p
    :D thanks!

    I'm not sure how stalk-able I'll be cos I don't think I'll go on the 12wk> thread (too scary and too much focus on it for me personally right now, but I might change my mind if I feel more secure that it's sticking :o)... Ok guess I need to get through these initial few unbelievable weeks and reconsider... :)

    Do you think you will be continuing with your TTC journey?
    I don't know. I'd love a baby obviously, but if it's never going to happen, then I need to be realistic.
    One thing I would LOVE to read on here would be your BFP :o
    Me too:D

    De-lurking from 12-24 thread. I tried accupuncture at the end of last year. I'm not a success story from that as I didn't get pg during the time I was having it (probably for about 3-4 months).

    It was relaxing & not unpleasant but I'm not convinced it made difference. TBH, I could claim 75% of the cost through my health insurance - don't think I would have continued with it if I was funding the full cost.

    BZ - I'm sure given a few more weeks (and hopefully an early scan) you will be on the next thread. Totally understand how scary this point is - it's the fear of the unknown.
