I like your thinking Stella - I so often try to turn this circumstance into an opportunity.  I have a fabulous husband who makes me really happy.  I think in part because of all the crud we've gone through we've ended up really close and he is so brilliant in focusing on the positives of just us. 

We've also opted to work overseas which we probably wouldn't have done if we'd had children - turning infertility into a positive isn't always easy but it makes so much sense. 

I know the big sadness can sometimes consume me and I have to work hard to keep my head above water, but if you're up for a bit of spirit lifting - I'm so with you in the departure lounge. XXX
