Thanks Kate.

I just made my appt (they only just reopened from xmas), its not til the middle of feb Oh well, at least that will give me some time to shed the extra kgs i've put on over the xmas break I also started temping again this morning (I temped previously, and gave up when it was apparent nothing was happening!) so I will have that info to take too.

I've spoken to DH about it, and he is happy to come along, and even give a specimen sample...lol, I'd hate to be in his shoes!

Thanks again for all your wisdom, and I will let you know how it goes
