Helly - it's great that you are starting in December. I'm not sure what they will do with me as (like at your end) I would usually have to phone them with the first day of my AF and then I would start about 25 days later. However, as I've been on the contraceptive injection Depo my AFs are all over the place! In the last 9 weeks I've had AF for 33 days! So I can't really call them with my first day as I don't have a 'first' day as such. So I'll have to wait and see what they say about that on the 4th.
Meg - it is hard when everyone around you is pregnant. I went through that phase earlier on this year and people kept saying that you just notice it more but in actual fact I KNOW that everyone was having babies. At one point I managed to count over 20 people that I knew who just had babies or found out they were pregnant! But I'm a great believer in "things happen for a reason" so when it's my turn it's my turn and if it's never my turn then so be it.
