Hi Gwen,

Thanks for your positive thoughts.

IVF is stressful, but don't be put off by all the information that you receive in the beginning stages. 8-[

Once you get started, its pretty smooth sailing and it just becomes part of your everyday life. You just live with it and you don't notice how much it affects your life until you go for that egg collection or your pregnancy test or the egg transfer. Apart from those times, its just routine. Once you get into the swing of it, its ok...

Just be conscious of the statistics, don't forget what they tell you in the beginning about how only a certain percentage of people fall in the first month etc. I did that (forgot) and was completely let down when it didn't happen for us. But if you just remember that every time you do it, you are closer to getting the one that you want. I know its hard to hear the words "you're not pregnant" but just remember, you will have enough eggs to keep going back for more transfers. And YOU WILL GET PREGNANT!!

Stay positive, and if you need someone to chat to about treatments, or if you are worried about what stage you are up to, please don't hesitate to give me a yell, I'm only too pleased to talk about the treatments, and its nice to hear about other people's experiences too.

GOOD LUCK! I'll send you some baby dust for luck!! inkdust:
