daily update no. 3

Pippa: I think I will get bored of this soon enough and only post on 'significant' days but it's all about how we feel so I'll keep going for now.

I'm managing to swing between positive and negative today. I think, to be honest I have too much time on my hands this evening doing not very much and this is causing me to dwell. I've also been doing too much research on the subject (one of my annoying habits- I have to research everything to the nth degree before making a decision of any sort).

As the scan yesterday seemed to be encouraging (good womb lining and number of follicles) I can't see why our treatment wouldn't work but the statistics at our clinic (which are above the national average) still give us only a 1 in 3 chance of success. Are the failures older than us? larger? are they ex-smokers or have they had problems with infection or injury? The thing is, I bet they are mostly just the same as us and therefore why should Jack & I succeed and not them?

£4000 plus our sanity at those odds? We must be half crazy already!
