AFM, I went to a party yesterday of some very dear friends and I feel so much better in my spirits today. Yesterday started off bad - lots of big fat wet tears about still not having my AF, not wanting to be doing IVF in winter (it'll be June by the time we get going) and then for getting the days of the week wrong and turning up to the docs on the wrong day. Thought about that last one for a while and started to laugh - poor DH thinks I'm a bit mental but laughed too. That broke the ice and I decided to make a real effort for the party - baked a cake, made a nice card and frocked up and off we went. Well, when we got there, my friend had a big bowl of Chinese fortune cookies on the table. I picked one out and guess what it read? "When winter comes heaven will rain success on you"!!! Showed DH and he was v. amused so it is on our fridge now and will be part of my positive thinking strategy in the months to come. Just had to share that with you!!

PS I got as far as 8 pages on this thread so still catching up but I'll get there!!

Sorry, had a coffee for the first time in about five months to day and boy am I buzzing . Not good!
