Hi everyone

Rols - congrats on the EPU today, despite the little hiccup. You are very lucky that you were allowed in with your DW while the EPU was happening. Our clinic has stopped partners from coming in - apparently they have had problems in the past with them getting in the way if everything does not go to plan.

Mel - well done on your EPU. Bugger that it wasn't a very pleasant experience. Your move to Perth sounds exciting. My DF's family are from Perth and we do enjoy getting back there a couple of times each year for a visit. The beaches are just lovely.

Shelly - good luck with your EPU tomorrow.

To everyone else, a big hi . There is just so much going on in here that I can barely keep up with everyone's happenings, so my apologies for only a few personals.

We have just spent the last 2 days with DF's sister, her hubby and 3yr old boy. It has been great to see them but it has also left me feeling sad and down. I am so worried that we have missed our chance to start our own family and now moving cities and changing jobs, while it is something that we are sure will be good for us, means that things will inevitably be delayed that bit longer. I am back to feeling how I was before IVF... that we aren't doing anything... just waiting. While we are trying to just relax and try naturally for the next month or so, reading about everyone's progress makes me feel like I am standing on the shore waving to everyone on the IVF boat as it sails away from us. I know that sounds very self absorbed and that I need to feel positive about us falling naturally but some days it is just so hard....

Anyway, sorry to unload. Take care everybody and I hope to hear lots of good news about EPUs and fertilisation rates over the next few days.
