KT - i completely understand how you feel with your long cycles - for me, before intervention, i could go nine or 10 months - at first it wasn't an issue cos i wasn't TTC, but once we started that, i realised how much my body was working against us. knowing you're body isn't cooperating is just damn frustrating. i'm so glad to hear that you're feeling stronger during your break

Jo/BW - i completely agree with how difficult it is when everyone around you seems to be extremely fertile - i'm waiting to find out about a couple of friends that are due this month - once they've popped, i'll have 11 friends that have given birth since the start of december - and none of them know about ofur issues TTC, so they keep asking when i'm going to join them as a new mum - very hard indeed. have become a bit of a bermit lately cos it's so hard to know how to react to constant baby conversations.

Jo - don't see myself getting going crazy this week - started decluttering my wardrobe this afternoon - tomorrow i'm off to the dental surgeon to find out if i need surgery (i so hope not) - the rest of the week i'm not so sure - probably keep decluttering - i want everything sorted out in our room with the new furniture by the end of this week if at all possible!
