Okay, if no one else is going to start a new thread, it will have to be me. Where is everybody? I was planning to cycle in January, but my specialist suggested we do a thorough check that there is no reason why our embryos haven't been implanting - a whole lot of blood tests and a laproscopy...

I know this is a topic that often causes controversy, but I am interested to know your thoughts on it. Again, just like the feeding issue, I feel that everyone has a right to choose and noone should be berated for the choice that they have made. So, in having said that, what is your stance on...

Hi there My name is Margot. I had a little boy through IVF in 2005 and am about to start all over again in the hope of having another child. I was on this site then, and got so much support. I really miss the people I "knew" through this site and would love to know how they are all going. ...
