Hi everyone

Thanks for your replies - some of you must have been reading my mind because that is exactly what I have been thinking all afternoon: its an odds game versus a hope/faith game. Now my logical brain is telling me, go for the odds. My concern is that we have gone through all of this and not end up with a fertilised egg with IUI, whereas that is at least one thing that can be controlled (if the egg is of good enough quality of course!) and that is where we know the issue is at the this stage, with DF and yes, he is away, back tomorrow night for a few days and then away again I do not have any diagnosed problems, not even a hint of endo or PCOS for which I am grateful but sometimes I think it would be easier because then I would have some answers (that's just me being a control freak - I do try to keep it in check).

Anyway, I had another acunpuncture session this morning complete with a visualisation session of conception through to birth. I wanted to start crying so badly when we got to the birth part and was visualising holding my baby for the first time but I held it together (just!). I am amazed at how powerful my emotions are at the moment - sometimes I don't even feel a bout of tears or sadness coming on, bam it just hits me! I hate feeling like that because it so not me. But anyway, I am whinging to ladies who have been through so much more than me, so no sympathy required

I am hopeful now, after reading your posts, that maybe my one little follie will hold more than egg - now that would be fantastic news!!! I am keeping everything crossed for a good result tomorrow morning.

Thanks again everyone, and I hope you are all sniffing and jabbing and popping away nicely and counting down your calendar!!
