Thanks girls. It is so hard and I know that on BB, there are so many people in a similar situation. In fact, a friend of ours has just called, and in the conversation happened to say that they have to get up early in the morning to prepare for a birthday party, it transpired that he was talking about his daughter's 2nd birthday, to which they've only invited people who have kids. I was pretty offended, but didn't say anything. Would we have been upset if we had been invited and had to be surrounded by kids, and felt that we couldn't say 'no', or is it worse that we've not been invited??? I don't know, I would probably have been offended either way, that's how I am feeling at the moment.

There's also a lot of uncertainty in our lives at the moment as my DH's job isn't secure at the moment, and we are saving for another round of icsi, hopefully starting in 4 or 5 weeks. Also we're having to use the polscope, which is more cost, and a few other line items have been ticked by the FS, so this time it's going to be more expensive than the other 2 times.

Plus, I gave up work to try and de-stress in the hope that I could conceive, albeit AC. And to top it all off, my father in law is in hospital and is quite seriously ill. So de-stressing and relaxing and only worrying about ironing is out of the window!

Why is this happening to us??????
