Thanks, Loula. I think I will start a little notebook like that - could also be helpful for other things too - like jotting down all the questions you think to ask the specialist, but then forget at the appointment! The retail therapy certainly has helped, but strangely I'm more excited about the fridge full of fresh fruit and vegies than I am about the new shoes! I suspect there's something in my brain not wired right at the moment!

As much as I know I should have called today, I've learned with the anxiety issues to put it off until I feel I can cope, rather than forcing myself to do it then and there.

Alex, I missed your question earlier - I don't have much experience with naturopathy, but I'm really getting a lot from acupuncture at the moment. I've been going to someone who works with a lot of IVF support so I'm hoping it will help when we finally get to start in a couple more weeks.
