Holly - Congratulation! Every LTTC pregnancy should be celebrated - it has taken you guys such an incredibly long time and I am very happy for you xxx

Loula - good to see you around. I understand about the depression, I am also on meds and have some really dark days. Hope you are doing okay, please know we are here if you ever want to talk.

toby - I try to stay as positive as I can. Nobody can say that your positivity/negativity can conclusively make a difference, but I would rather the 2ww be a hopeful positive experience, instead of a negative depressing one. If it doesn't work you will be depressed enough as it is. JMO though, and I know that it can be very hard to keep going with that positive attitude.

AFM - Waiting for AF to arrive, have been in a bad mood for the past week and on CD 31 so it should be here already but no doubt my body is playing games with me. When AF arrives I can book my day 21 appt, and then start IVF next day 1.

We are off on a mini holiday next week - Barossa Valley for 4 nights staying at a B&B which will be nice. Murray lost his job on Friday (he is a teacher so he will at least get to work until the xmas holidays) but it puts huge pressure on us to find him another job for next year. He is really depressed over it all, and so it will be nice for us to spend some time together.

I have booked an appointment with Dr Thompson at Concept in Perth for January in case this last IVF cycle doesnt work. We can access donor sperm through our clinic so need to move clinics to do that in the new year. The bonus is the new clinic has a lot cheaper fees, but I am still struggling with the idea of leaving the people who have gotten me this far. Hopefully it doesnt get that far though.
