Thanks for the replies to everyone!

Maggie, congratulations on getting a positive! I'm always impressed that anyone makes it past the first ivf cycle, it's so horrible. I take my hat off to anyone who can perserve in the face of it AND end up with the desired result! I'd be keen to hear if your pregnancy turns out to be twins.

I agree with you Mandyjane, the repeated disappointment makes it so much more tempting to opt to have 2 put back in.

The scary thing is that i'm absolutely aware of all the stats you noted there dusty and still, I'm so overwhelmed by a desperate desire to have this chapter of my life done and finished with I'm tempted to have 2 put back. It is wearing me down and exhausting me. (Although I can't imagine how worn down and exhausted I might feel with twins)!

The idea of twins also appeals to me on one level as I don't see myself ever going back to do this whole IVF nightmare process again, and I'm greedy and would so love to have more than one!

I can't make up my mind! I suppose I'll see how this cycle goes and no doubt I'll spend the next month worrying about it. It'd be so much simpler to just have sex and get pregnant! I'm sick to death of the whole thing.
