Rols - I hear ya loud and clear ... it's frightenly hard on the blokes, my poor darling especially, 'cause we live so far away from everything, the docs think it might just be easier for them to freeze his sperm so there's less jet setting ... he's really put out by that, and I can fully appreciate why ... the bloke has little enough to do with the PG (through no fault of his ) it's abominal that his right to the TTC process is being violated too ...

Which brings me to my next point ...

Loula - Ahhhh the joys of having your whole TTC thing aired in public. I think that's what hurt me the most, no longer is it a secret promise between two loving people, it's now between you and your hubby and your scientist and your fertility specialilst and your anethetist, and your nurses and the receptionist and yada yada yada! With the joys of living on this island and there being only one way on and off, it's now also with the travel agent and the pilot and the airport staff as well ... not to mention the hospital and the pharmacist ....

I still grieve for the simpler days ... the way it should be ....
