Hi ladies! Thanks so much for just being here. Lunch with the MIL turned into lunch, afternoon tea and late night shopping. We had fun and even started our Christmas present shopping. DH was out yesterday afternoon with my parents and he decided to tell my Dad about our m/c. We hadn't until now because he doesn't want my Mum to know (long story - she can be difficult and I can't handle that right now). Anyway, this means that the news is slowly spreading through those closest to us... I ended up going out for lunch with Dad today (yes, DH filled up my day again!) but he didn't say anything, which was a relief.

But on the brighter side, we had our new dishwasher delivered and installed today! We're yet to test it out though...

Emma, hi and welcome! I hope those three months pass very quickly and your first IVF cycle works a treat!

Rob, if there's a chance it will allow them to develop a relationship with their grandparents then it sounds like a good idea. Probably best to have an escape plan up your sleeve though? I hope it does go well if you decide to go.

babytruj, we all have times when we need to step back and avoid other people's problems to concentrate on our own. I hope your first IVF cycle works a treat too! I know there are some great websites out there which explain the procedures, but do you think I can remember them? I just googled "IVF protocols" and the first result that came up was for the Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago. They have some very detailed explanations with lots of pretty pictures of follicles. And as Emerald Star mentioned, most of the Aussie clinics will have a description on their websites. If you check out the one I mentioned, you want to look at the "Long Lupron" protocol. Lupron is the US name for Lucrin. And also as Emerald Star said, if you have any particular questions we're all here for you!
