Sure, BG! But I need an email address to send the word file to... just send it in a PM.
My school is actually pretty wonderful with everything. When I was booking the time I already need for appointments, I mentioned to the deputy that I would be needing quite a few this year. I'd had a blabbermouth tell him last year that we were TTC, so he turned around and asked "Is this good news, then?"... I figured as he already knew that much, I may as well give him the truth, and he was fantastic - extremely supportive and encouraging and said that whatever time I need I can have... he's even happy with my admission of booking a full day when I have a morning appointment as I would be unsure of my emotional state in returning to work, and he agreed that it was the right thing to do. There's been times in the past where I've had bad news, or become ill during the day (I had a time where I was suffering from crippling stress-induced migraines) and needed to go home and they have organised to cover any remaining classes and I've been free to go. Obviously, if there's a lot of it, they might get a bit twitchy... but it appears that at least in the upper levels of school admin, I've got a lot of support in this. They've always been great with appointments in the past, and I see no reason for this to change now - particularly as I'm being honest with them. In a lot of ways I'm actually feeling very positive about the year ahead - I told one other person at school today, and she's got a private office not far from my staff room and she gave me full permission to go and use her phone any time I needed to make a private call - I'm in a staff area with 15 others and no way to make a phone call that isn't able to be overheard by everyone in there! I think I'm doing really well at twisting potentially bad situations into things that are a lot more positive!
Sorry for the long babble... I think there's going to be a lot of processing through things in the next few days.

Wow - It's just taken me 1/2 hr to catch up on everyone's posts and I was only on this morning!
Thanks to BW & Iris for feedback on the steroids. I did have 1 miscarriage last year, and of course in total i have had 11 transfers (usually 2 embies each time) and yet they havent implanted, so I assume the steroids act the same in assisting with implantation and minimising miscarriage?? I also have O neg blood so maybe there are some issue with weird antibodies - I did have an anti D injection just before I miscarried, but I sometimes wonder if it was too late and the clinic might not want to admit it?? If anyone else has O neg blood and knows about the anti d injections I would love to hear from them....
Lou - if i didnt take my drugs at the same time as breakfast and right before bed I would forget too, but its almost a ritual now.
Good news though the acupuncturist told me I could stop taking the liquid potion from today - YAY! (it smells like a smoothie of cigarette butts and fertiliser!)
Dinners up - gotta run. Good luck and best wishes to all
