    Oh no :( Panic attacks and anxiety are horrible. I suffer from panic attacks so I feel your pain. I used a homeopathic remedy called aconite for years and found it very useful. You can get it in holland and barratt. I found it helped massively in acute situations.

    I'm resting but more because I am like a nodding dog! :rotfl:

    Best laid plans indeed lol, was trying to be discreet but nearly snorted with laughter when I saw the state of it.

    Not doing too bad ta. Got bad back this evening but it feels like endo pain (don't think ivf agrees with endo). Off to bed with a hot water bottle and the cat now :)

    Got a busy morning tomorrow sorting out 1500 envelopes and 25 volunteers for Christian Aid week so that will keep my mind occupied. Then it's just one more day to ET...eek!

    It's nothing if not amusing the situations we find ourselves in eh?!

    Well, that should more than keep you occupied tomorrow and keep your mind off ET! Are you nervous?

    Forgot to say no frosties here but I did see the white flash and managed not to fart on anyone :rotfl: (Fear of weeing myself was higher up the agenda! :o)

    ETA: Big hugs PM panic attacks are horrendous. Hope your headache does one and that you can sneak a cat in again ;)

    I'm nervous about the state of the embies by monday, just hoping and praying they're doing ok. Was really ill the day before ET last time and by the time we got to it I don't think I cared what was happening. Which sounds awful! Just hoping it goes better than that.

    Can't help thinking they're better off in the embryoscope than me but sadly I can't leave them in there for 9 months!

    I'm sure ET has to go better than that! I hope your little embies are developing nicely and will be keeping everything crossed for you :)

    And what size of embryoscope would that need to be?!

    Congratulations love actually and yay for all the PUPO ladies.

    Hope ET goes well tea

    Sorry have been awol , just back from holiday. Feeling rather down now though, PMT and the horrible end of holiday feeling I guess. I hate my body right now as it keeps giving me the effects of pregnancy without the actual baby. I want to cry at everything, my face is covered in spots plus very embarrassing I seem to have piles. OH has to do his sperm sample tomorrow and I hope we finally then get going with some treatment.
