Hi,

Yes, the familiar feeling. Here I am wrapping myself in cotton wool, I eat really healthy food, exercise well, don't eat take out often, or drink soft drinks or alcohol (I cannot remember the last time I actually got drunk - probably about 2 years ago!), and still no baby for me. All around me I see pg women, drinking, smoking. It makes me so mad. My acupuncturist said that every time I see a pg woman, or a baby, I should repeat in my head "it will be my turn soon. I am prepared", but seriously, how many years should I do this for? I actually saw, what looked like a teenage couple with a baby in a stroller the other day, they were both smoking and looked terrible. Where is the sense in this world?

As we're going out for an early movie session soon, I decided to watch the tv instead and watched Relocation Relocation (UK) on foxtel. It's about buying houses. Anyway, a couple were looking for 2 places, a house in the country and a flat in the town. The woman was pg and was pulling up carpet, hiking up what looked like masses of stairs, carrying heavy boxes. There's me on my sofa talking to the tv "what are you doing?! you're pg, sit down and relax". Unfortunately when the presenters met up with them a few weeks later, she had mc and lost the baby. Very sad. but I really felt that she over did it and should have treated herself a bit better.

I have a thyroid problem, and my endocrinologist knows all about the ivf. Her advice is always to wrap myself up in cotton wool and have no stress at all. That's what I'm trying to do in this TWW.

Does your best friend know what you're going through at the moment? We've only told my parents, so my MIL doesn't know, but to be honest, it would make no difference. She keeps going on to my SIL, have another baby, go home and make another baby! It really annoys me. My SIL is a very self-absorbed individual and one that can fall pg by holding hands. Oh well, I'm sure I'm not the only one with insensitive in-laws.

Sorry for more rambling!

Hope everyone else is OK and are surviving the TWW.
