Hi Kate
Just thought I'd stick my nose in to wish you luck.
I started ttc in 1990, had our first IVF in 1995, and our last in 1999 (I think?). We had no success. Then we went our separate ways after two more years of just about every natural therapy known to man. I waited four years then had two IVF attempts last year using donor sperm - both unsuccessful. I'll turn 44 in September and have pretty much come to the end of the ttc road unless a miracle happens. While I can afford to keep going, I can't on one income if it means being 50 and still having no kids and no money to show for it. I had to make that decision at the end of last year - very difficult.
So now, I'm concentrating on travelling. A tiny little part of me still holds out hope that I'll meet someone and fall naturally. There was never any reason for our infertility.
I have everything crossed for you and totally understand when you say that things don't always go according to plan!!! I'll be following your progress very closely
Good luck
Sue
