Thanks ladies for sharing your feelings on this aspect of things...it helps knowing I'm not alone in these feelings.

DH and I were looking at some photos last night of a fantastic trip we did around Australia (took a year off), before we bought our house and started TTC. It felt like it was a lifetime ago...like we were different people then, in a different world.
This process and the losses etc is definately life changing!...even before we get to the life-changing event that is motherhood!
