hi all - just a quick update - BT came back negative (which i'd pretty much known in my head for the past week or so) - am feeling a little flat at the moment, but i have to admit, no matter how much my head said "it's not happening this time" my heart held out a thread of hope which has now been broken.

we were given the green light to go ahead with IUI straight away again, but due to work commitments for DH, we have (after a lot of conversation over the phone with each other and the clinic nurse) decided to take a short break. DH is a truckie who will be going away tomorrow for maybe a week, maybe a month - and we don't want to go through all of the stress of injections and U/S's etc to find that he isn't here when he's needed for his part - or for him to potentially be put under too much additional pressure to get home at a certain time - it's not the most controllable job in the world (he carts livestock - and some of them can be very stubborn and uncooperative) - i'd rather he be a little longer getting home than to put any pressure on him. so we enter a new waiting game - feels like that's all i've been doing for the past 18 months (well, waiting - and renovating!)
