I can understand how difficult it is for you, much more so than for me, you are very brave.<br>Karen thanks too, that is so right about people and how sensitive and compassionate they are.

Thanks Jo!<br>You are right, she does not feature in our lives at all and I will have to rise above it.

Hi Magnus,<br>Sorry to hear your result, it is so heartbreaking. You are in the right place here though!<br>Regarding when to start...after my last cycle was abandoned I could have started the following month after the natural period.

Hi and Thanks! Sorry it took so long to get back but here goes....I work in a large Primary school with mainly female staff so obviously there are going to be those expecting from time to time.

And no mark Mark?<br>Just now I read that she is not content with the 8 kids she has and as she has been sterilised, is now going for IVF to have her NINTH child??????? Saving up from her £37500 benefits!<br ...

Hi aal,<br>Sorry to hear you are having these damned panic attacks. They are truly awful!<br> I have never had them before and they seemed to start just as term ended. I seemed to just fall apart and spent 4 days crying and not wanting to go on holiday. Though some bad things had happened to me ...

Hi Nicky,<br>I too had an abandoned cycle last July. It was our first IVF, started at medium dose and only 2 small follicles. Upped the dose but no response so abandoned. FSH Ok but am 43. Had a bad time as the hormones really affected me badly. Feeling better now and ready to start a short flare ...

Hi Jo,<br>Of course I remember you, am very pleased that all is going well!!<br>Yup, back and ready to go with a bit more of a positive attitude now. We are having the menopur/menogon ( think they are the same) and have to inject into the bum muscle! Andrew cannot do this, see above re fainting fit ...

Hi everyone,<br>Haven't been around since last abandoned cycle in July.<br>Crikey, those hormones really screwed me up and only just feel ready to start again.
