Hi SuziQ! I found out that the counsellor does have to sign forms, but this is simply after all of us have been counselled to make sure we understand the ramifications of going down this path. So it's more of a signoff than a judgement - I obviously got the wrong end of the stick.

No worries Anney, I'm just a stickybeak!!

I'll be going to a DCSG picnic in a couple of weekend's time so hopefully this will be good. I've said to the counsellor that the IVF one was not really for us as we're not in cycle at the moment.

I've also thought whether I would cope if we also needed eggs - not sure how I would react - I suppose I cross that bridge when and if we get to it.

Lulu I also hope you are ok.
