After reading this thread, my friends are suddenly looking very supportive and sensitive!

It pales in comparison to the pearlers already recorded, but I got "it wasn't meant to be - the next one will be made with a 'cuter' sperm anyway!" from two friends that I can't bring myself to talk to this week. It makes it sound like you bought a dud scratchie or lottery ticket at the newsagent. Just buy another one - it's sure to be the winner! pfft!

Thank you all for the support you offer here. It makes me realise that I am allowed to think & feel the things I am. DH was just reading over my shoulder, and I think it helps him understand too - to see other people going through the same thing.

This is a wonderful forum.
