    Congratulations Chickpea, have you been told to take anything new to give this bean the best chance? I heard some ladies took low dose aspirin. But you should check with your doctor first.

    Oops, I seem to have missed Chickpea's BFP. Tentative congratulations and many, many sticky bean vibes.

    I can state categorically that being from a large family where my parents have many grandchildren and great grandchildren, there's still massive amounts of pressure. My dad's been bugging me for a grandchild since I was about 16. You'd think that when I told them it's not going to happen, that'd be it, but no. He has memory problems and needs to be reminded occasionally. It's like picking a scab.

    Great article Isla. Code I agree, DH and I both from large families and our siblings all have children already but no less pressure :(

    Question - how strict is everyone about taking their stims at the same time each night? I stupidly did 1st injection really late but want to go to bed - does it even matter do you know?
