Tigga - so happy to hear that your bleeding has almost stopped - mine hasn't quite yet - but it did take 2 weeks for it to stop after my first d&c.

We pay our FS so much money - whether they feel like answering questions should be irrelevant - they should suck it up and answer - otherwise, why pay for the consult - the very term "consult" describes something "consultative" requiring discussion. Sorry - I just get so mad - like we do half their work for them.

I have to say, I'm not convinced that EPP is "the answer" - but I just want my FS to consider it and then explain why it is or is not appropriate for me.

I was on DHEA for 2.5 months prior to this most recent cycle - am back on it again. It is suppose to take a full 3 months to really do its job - but that requires patience which I just don't have and my biological clock certainly doesn't have.

Tigga - maybe we will be cycling at the same time - I'm sure I'm approximately 6 weeks away...if not more

I think our Plan B may be a donor egg cycle in the US. We are not there yet, but I've mentioned it to DH and he has gone from a "NO - don't want to discuss" to a "let's see what happens with this next cycle first". I think doing a donor cycle here is just too hard and too long of a wait - in the US you get to preview all this information about potential donors and then pick one. Plus there are other benefits (privacy) in terms of doing it in the US - but this is off topic for this thread so I'll stop here.

I do not understand why adoption is so difficult here. I have read about this - Hugh Jackman's wife...Deborah F...s? has written extensively about this and it's shocking that it's so difficult when there is such a need.

Nothing would make me happier than to find a protocol that increases our chances - I sometimes feel on the verge of being so desperate and worry that I'm finding protocols that are designed only to appease and not to acheive results. I feel very vulnerable in that respect.
