thanks for the replies.
It is really reassuring to hear your stories.
I think I just needed to hear some similar experiences that others have had to reassure me a little bit. This whole world of assisted conception is so new to me - I know others who have had to go down this road of course but never had to think about it too deeply myself. I'm a little bit freaked out, really!
minime - good luck with your IVF. I assume you are going down that route?
epayne - fingers crossed for you that the clomid does the trick. good luck!
nellym - good luck on the femara.
