Hi everyone...haven't been chatting as much so I don't think I can catch up with everyone.... just sending a general message to everyone who is going through their cycle, that things progress just as they are meant to, and when they are meant to!

Abbie- it is a tough road and sending you a big . I know my emotions have been up and down this entire year really and now we are back into the uncertainty and lack of control of not knowing when it will all happen for us, and that alone can be hard. Thinking of you. Dealing with issues at work and people knowing can also be a challenge.

Kate- glad you are feeling more positive again. I crashed a bit after our BFN but now also feel more positive that 2009 will bring us our baby too. I guess we are all getting stronger through this and we certainly will cherish our little ones as you said!

nicole- I havent heard of that before (re the egg collection stuff) but I am new to IVF.

oscaroscar- I can relate to IVF being a big step to take. We felt shocked when we were told it really was our best/possibly only option, due to the loss of my tube, and my other tube being in bad shape. It's a lot to take in. Just take it one step at a time. I think in your situation, waiting and hoping would be potentially stressful too, just as IVF can be stressful. I guess only you and your DH can weigh up all the pros and cons given your particular situation. Good luck in deciding on the best step forward next.

Bel- welcome back...glad you are feeling so positive going into your next cycle. it brings you a BFP!

to everyone else
