I am feeling so much better today!

I remember this time last year I was terrified that DH would change his mind over the TTC thing, I've just been going through a stage of being terrified he'll change his mind over the IVF thing. But we spent last night talking about what to do with any left over embryos we may get... he seems pretty sure about the whole process! I think we've hit the point where we can't really decide what to do with the embryos until we actually have some and have finished our family, although I guess it can't hurt to be talking about it and thinking about it at this stage. I weighed myself yesterday, and this diet and increased metformin thing *is* working! In the last week and a half I've lost 2kg already. I'm now at the lowest weight I've ever been since we started TTC. DH said he can see it now, and I'm starting to notice that my face is looking less puffy and bloated. I think DH may be convinced to join me with the diet - we had dinner out last night, and he was looking mighty envious at my bowl of grilled chicken and a mountain of salad! I've actually pretty much got used to it,too - I'm starting to enjoy the change in food and physically have a little more energy. I'm probably also feeling the best I have in terms of my health for about the last 6 or 7 years - so I'm beginning to see the advantages of the lifestyle change, not only in terms of getting my insulin under control to be able to TTC, but also in terms of my long-term health as well. It's great! I've picked myself up way out of the slump, and I'm positively bouncy and happy today! :biggrin:

Mako, I'm glad you are feeling positive about the IUI again. I think it's important to go into each treatment with a positive state of mind. Don't focus on the people for whom it hasn't worked... even though I've heard of people where IUI hasn't worked and they've ended up doing IVF anyway, I've also heard of people where IUI has worked first go.

BG, I hope you can find some ways to reduce that stress! Stress and TTC are a bad combination Learned that one the hard way.

Twomums, another good luck with the IUI here! It sounds like you are in a much better position with this cycle than you have been in others, lets hope it's a good sign.

I hope you can all find a sprinkling of the happy-dust that someone seems to have dropped on me this morning!
