Miss B, thanks so much for your thoughts. I stalked you on the other thread. I am so sorry. I am still keeping my fingers tightly crossed.

Juniper, also, I think you always very much know what you're talking about. But I want you to be mega-wrong here. I really do.

AFM, we booked the stim cycle. Was absolutely undecided until I made the phone call. I even left a message and thought, well, if they don't phone back, I won't do it. I felt ok actually about booking it but now I'm feeling a bit concerned about my emotional state. I just went to a big family event, with my increasingly pregnant SIL and my brother who can't really look me in the eye (not sure what's going on there, we're usually close, and I've been really fine about their pregnancy) and then I think I kind overheard that they're having a boy, like just casually chatting about it with a group of friends as though it's common knowledge, and they didn't tell us personally (and we're close, and I've asked after it too, so we won't get blindsided). So here I am, alone at this party (DH is on a bike riding trip) just feeling kind of dumb and out of the loop and having to struggle with this information publicly. Anyway, these feelings pass in due course.

Take care all,
WW
