    Hope no one is offended/upset by this link but I was reading this yesterday. Might be something you want to listen to at some point.

    Good reading, thanks. Although I'd never thought about the second time around thing, having to go through it when everyone around you is having grandchildren! :eek:

    OH's sister has two grandchildren already, makes me feel ridiculously past it!

    We have friends with newborns and friends with grandchildren. Madness :rotfl:.

    That's how I spend my evenings anyway lol! OH's sister, on the other hand, is a total party animal. She can drink and dance me under the table :)

    Currently under my sofa blanket watching TV, having got excited earlier when I finished my current jigsaw. So old. :D

    My great niece is 16 and I just got excited about having cheese and biscuits for dinner. I'm ancient.

    Oh, nearly forget while we were off-topicing. Had baseline scan yesterday. :D

    DR has worked so I'm to start stims tomorrow. They counted 12 follicles each side. Panicked that they'd all grow but they said no, only some will grow on stims, phew! Good news that there are a healthy number of potential egg beds though. :)
  • That's great news, everything crossed for you.

    This process is so hard to keep up with sometimes, sounds like you need to do a biology degree to get through it!
