Glenny, it's bloody awkward to have to put in mat leave 10 weeks before, but I'm guessing if you get signed off by a doc then they have to accept it. ?? I'm not a teacher but it's so nice to hear you and others saying how much the kids mean to you and that you don't want to leave them in the lurch, but as someone else said, you and your family are no.1 priority now and that's not a selfish thing. I don't have issue sleeping yet, way to early, but when I've had a bad back (in the small of it) I always slept with a normal sized pillow between knees and just fought with the doona every time to turn over with it intact...lucky for me DH sleeps like a log. It definately works though, so hopefully will work for you.

juniper...sounds silly I know, but DH and I were so concentrating on being positive on transfer day that we both forgot to ask which embies they put in the 3 or 5 day

renee - you made me smile with the dinner story... that's the sort of thing I do normally!

well i'm gonna start a ticker...an ivf-infertility website's calender says FET - use first day of LMP OR date of O. I don't know when I Od so...LMP it is. gonna go choose one now....this may take some time:-)
