Hi Dawn<br><br>Just wanted to add I'm 38 rolling on 39 and my consultant didn't say to wasn't going to happen - just that we should concentrate on it now rather than hang about. Stamina and belief...<br><br>Have a good Christmas<br><br>Charlotte7

Ouch! ouch! ouch! is my description of the ec yesterday. Like you Becks I was sedated (injections not pills) but was still conscious enough to know when the doctor was sticking a needle into me. But it was very very quick so you are right - worth it - and because of the drugs I have weird faint ...

Janice, Thanks so much for the message. Just waiting for dh to have breakfast so we can go ... you've really put my mind at rest!<br>Catch you later.<br>Charlotte

Sarah 30 and Maggie, Thanks for the tips on the lingo for some reason it took me ages to work out what DH meant ....<br>This message board is great for all of these sorts of questions, n'est-pas?<br>Louiseg keep us informed .....

Thanx Sarah, Maggie and Louise for all your feedback. Still not sure what I will do. Obviously I wasn't thinking of swinging from the chandeliers but it does sort of make sense in a natural way.

Hi, I'm half way through a course of ICSI - just waiting for those follicles to grow and I was wondering if anyone had come across some research (danish? swedish?) about making love after the eggs have been put back ... something to do with the sperm reacting with the womb lining to create a more ...
