Hi Kimbe, NSap, Terry and everyone,

Well 8 days now till my blood test. Had a really bad day at work yesterday (found out that rumours my department might close down next year are true so no chance of my job continuing). I found myself trying really hard not to get too upset as I'm so conscious of how stress can effect your fertility. I'm so desperately hoping that this embie attaches because I'm not sure I can justify spending the money to try again from scratch if I might not have a job next year. If this embie sticks then atleast the timing would be good because I wouldn't need to feel guilty about taking some time off work to stay home with bubs as I wouldn't have a job to be going to anyway. My current contract ends 30th of December... so I'd have a month at home (unemployed) before bub was due.

Thanks for the advice KitKat regarding symptoms and when the embie might attach. I'm trying to stay positive. I recently read another account of a woman who got pregnant first IVF cycle so I'm focusing on that and hoping I am just as lucky.

I told a work colleague about my IVF attempt yesterday (no one else at work knows). After hearing about my job I just needed to share with someone. She was very positive and shared the news that she has just found out she is going to be a grandmother for the 2nd time (she's my parents age). She told me she'll keep her fingers and toes crossed for me regarding the baby and my job.

Best wishes to all of you.
