Hi everyone,

wishes - sorry that you got confirmation of the BFN. It seems to me that "knowing" at least one way or other helps somewhat. It's the uncertainty of infertility that makes it so hard. I'm trying to learn to be in the moment, to know for sure where I'm at right now. But whether you're waiting for AF or the end of a TWW this is never easy. Thinking about you...

Mrs P- good luck for your BT on Thursday. I have mine on Friday. My DH is on night shift this week so he won't be around either. Don't you just love BB and the support it gives?

jacdy- welcome and good luck!

jasminstar - I hope you're enjoying the warm weather in Darwin. I'll be for a stronger, darker pink line for you.

LondonMiss - I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. You're right, there is no need to explain your devastation, I know it. I'm in the last few days of my first IUI before BT, and your experience has really hit me. You sound like you have similar coping strategies as me --- a good glass of shiraz. Keep looking after yourself as you prepare for the next stage.

mitf - I'm so glad you're going ok today. I too have started avoiding photos, stories etc. I never feel like I'm being subtle and am sure that everyone notices, but I doubt that people always do. When people are that happy/excited they often don't notice others in the same way (not in a rude way, it's just that their noticing there own stuff to the exclusion of other people's). What alternative strategies do you try to aid BFP?? My DH isn't so keen on those ideas, but at this stage I'd be willing to look into anything that might help.


The good news for me is that I spoke to my boss today and she was great. She said she had hoped I was coming in to speak to her with good news (i.e. pg), but that she understood that I need to take time off to focus on all this IF and pg stuff. Amazing. My last day is next Thursday. Now it's sinking in... what will I do with myself for 6 months? I've got a few ideas.

Sorry if I missed anyone. I'll be for all of you.
-Sal
