  • I want infertility not to be such a taboo subject in life. People need to understand the struggles some people go through to have a child

    I completely agree with this, my sister and I were both struggling and neither of us said anything to one another. It makes you feel so lonely. Since Feb, I've told loads of people, even random customers in my shop and my eyebrow tinter! Puts pressure on days like today when you know they're gonna be asking (I've said 'inconclusive result' to many people, but in the long term I won't be hiding the facts we conceive purely through IVF.

    Thanks for all the congrats, it hasn't sunk in yet, I'm not deliriously happy, more cautious, can't even say the words out loud yet! x

    Lol, my phrase of the moment, even to myself, is "cautiously optimistic" while wandering about in a stunned daze xx

    OK, then. Go on to tinypic.com. Follow the very easy instructions (choose file from your computer and leave everything else as it is). It should give you four urls. Highlight the third one down. Copy and paste. Come back into MSE, kick off a new reply, paste the URL.

    It works. But if you want to get a pic embedded in the MSE post, rather than a link to a pic, don't lose the bits at either end.
