Sunbeam: Glad your back is mending. Wishing you every sticky vibe for IVF 2. Thanks for your support (and wise words for everyone). Lol re thinking pattern on the loo paper was blood (I can so imagine doing that too!) Enjoy camping!

Saffy: Look forward to reading your essay! How far into the TWW are you? (Sorry i'm losing track but i think you're a few days ahead of me?) Yes, i've had cramping like this a few times before 10 days before AF was due and BFN. When i was pg with DD i got AF type pain 10 days before AF was due but it wasn't across my tummy it was one spot each side, so, felt a bit different to AF. But i can't remember how i felt with my other two pgs as clearly (blocked it out i guess).

Mathewsmum: sorry you've been feeling low. I hope that you'll be feeling better and stronger by the time you come to do FET in December. Have you though about getting some extra support (apart from acupuncture?) Counselling?
