    Code lots of love, hope you and DH can take the time you need to come to terms with the news, take good care of yourselves x x

    Angeltreats could you compromise at going but for not as long? I really feel for you because I had two awful Christmases with a heavily pregnant woman present- the first time my miscarried baby should have been due the start of the January after and everyone was overcompensating to my accidentally pregnant single sister so that was really tough but i felt like if I'd stayed at home then I would have been losing out even more, like i would have been punishing myself for my bad luck but Christmas is a big deal for me.
    I did wonder if I was having to wait my turn to be the pregnant one at Christmas, no one else in the family is and I'll be 34 weeks then

    Also, my parents were full of platitudes as well which was even more once we moved in with them to save for our deposit- mum's favourite was 'these things take time, some people try for years ans years' as if that wasn't the part that upset me! But I found it helped to try not listen to the words but the intention behind them which was always 'I love you and want to make things better' its just a shame that there's nothing they can do to make things better

    Love to you all, really hope your 'time' is soon x

    Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I still haven't decided, unfortunately they are nearly four hours drive away so I can't escape too easily if it all gets too much.

    Teamlowe I too have been wondering how you're getting on. Hope it's all going well for you xxx

    PM good luck tomorrow.

    That's great news about LilyMay and Abis. Is there a graduate thread for us. I'd follow that one (as is my current situation) but not a normal one. Thanks for letting us know TL.

    Aw WW so sorry you have an infection, hope you feel better soon. Hugs right back at you x

    PM - did you have another scan today? How'd it go? X

    Angel - any decisions yet?

    Peonie - great your DH understood. These weeks are important and you don't know how you will feel at any stage so keep it just to you two and that takes the pressure off. When do you start stimms?

    Hugs ladies, x

    I picked the scar when I should not have. He just told me understands why I don't want them here but he is also annoyed - we only see his brother a couple of times a year and really is his only immediate family left.

    CD1 should have been today. I have the symptoms (including the crazy lady hormones) but am waiting for it to start. Hopefully on Friday I'll have first scan and will start the swimming drugs then.

    I've booked into have acupuncture tomorrow - my first time ever. It's out of the way from where I live but is cheap in comparison to the other prices I've looked at on line. Plus, I'm going to go to the patient support meeting at my hospital next week.

    Night all - I'm knackered.
