Lenny, I'm going to keep this in mind... a mantra, for when the time comes to wean. Thanks
Juniper, being a first cycle, they specifically went with a moderate level of stimulation, but I had 12-15 follicles that looked hopeful at the scan 2 days before collection... I was shocked when they only got three eggs, but the embryologist reassured me strongly that we only needed one, and he was right - we got a bub from it. But yeah, I don't want to wait. At the same time, I really want to wean DS no sooner than 12 months. My Mum says that my older sister weaned herself at 9 months, me at 11 months and my brother at 13 months, so maybe DS will decide even sooner that he doesn't want any more boob. No sign of that yet though!
My GP is pretty good, I'm sure she'll be happy to refer straight away. DP, on the other hand, is really keen to not need IVF this time. The first step in the process (as far as I'm concerned) will be to get him tested - if his sperm count goes up by a factor of 25 or so, it might be worth trying for 3-6 months first. If it's still down around the 1 million mark, I think I'm going to have to persuade him to accept the need for another round of IVF. Maybe I need to get the mirena out now, and see what happens.
