The Trials & Tribulations of Trying to Conceive when its just not happening (12m+)

Code - I'd rather use a strangers eggs/sperm too. I think it would always feel like it was their child. I'm the same with donation. I wouldn't want to know the child, as I wouldn't be able to resist giving advice etc.

A gay couple we know mentioned the idea of using one of our embryos with a surrogate if we had some left eventually, and I said no immediately! As far as I'm concerned that would be our child.

Peonie, how are you doing today?

I'm distracting myself. I've marinated a pork loin for tonight, which is in the fridge. Made some Anzac cookies, and have a sponge in the oven which I will use to make lamingtons later.

The kitchen it a bomb site. I'm have a sore back, and a very slight nausea feeling, but I think it's stress nausea more than anything.

from other websites I've seen that some people test and get BFP's at this early stage (it is 10DPO after all) and that's making me more tense. The tests are calling to me.

I had EC on the Wednesday, so I think technically I'm due on next Wednesday. Will try to make it to then.

Whattodonow

I was wondering about you two today. Do you think you will make it to test day or test earlier? Next Sunday seems a long long way away for me, but on the other hand I'm frightened to test at all!

Finger's crossed for you guys!! Pleeeeeeeeeeease happen!

No SSing. No early testing. You know better than that.

it is Australia day after all! taking them into work tomorrow since I'm not allowed chocolate and dh hates coconut. in fact he may struggle in Australia as there is a lot of coconut about.

as an aside there is a west London shortage of coconut. had to go to four shops. finally gave up and bought posh coconut from waitrose.

I didn't notice that so much as the need to put a fried egg on everything. Burgers really do not need fried eggs!!:rotfl:
