Possum Magic and Saffy - Good luck to both of you I really hope we see some BFPs in here for Christmas it would be a lovely way to end the year.

Possum Magic - Thanks for the support about the MRI. I have no idea about the noise as I never got that far! Back has been a bit better the last few days but I'll still try again when I get the valium.

Porsche - Good to see your name babe.

AFM - Had a massive melt down yesterday. I finally had to acknowledge that the lady in my office is actually pregnant and not just gaining a few pounds! She finds out next week if its a boy or girl and mentioned that she does not mind either way as she never thougth she could have another one (her daughter is 9) SO WHY THE HELL IS SHE STILL SMOKING!!!! I cried for an hour at home then went to see a friend which made me feel better but I still feel very fragile today. It does not help that both my first 2 babies were due in this week (6th and 10th December).

I started to read the Fertility Diet book again and have pretty much decided that after 20 years as a vegitarian I have to start eating meat! As a vego dairy and soya are my main sources of protien. According to the book (and from my own research) both of these have a significantly negative impact on fertility. Being Lactose intolerant also means that I probably don't absorb much of the protien from dairy anyway. I have eggs, nuts and beans too but these are not going to be sufficient and are not great foods to rely on when you want to lose weight. Right now I am still trying to get my head around the idea and I will be seeing a nutritionist to see if there is a better option ( I really hope so).
