    Melb - where my coolness isn't seen as wierdness

    BW,

    the levels won't mean much to you in isolation, but after a few BTs you'll start seeing a pattern. I realised at my third stim cycle how my E2 levels corrolated with how many eggs I was likely to have, just as an example. The notes you make may not make much sense now, but in retrospect they will help you understand how your body responds.

    As far as books I recommend, the one that made the most sense out of the medical side of things was a book called 'Getting Pregnant' by Prof Robert Jansen. Melbo read it and raved about it, and I went to buy it. I think it is a by far the best book on AC I've read, and it's Australian!

    ETA kim, I posted at the same time as you. Yes, I absolutely agree that you should be more yourself, and if that means more assertive, even more so! I'm not saying reproductive techonology is not complicated, coz it is, but we are not brainless, and we're not stupid, and we LTers especially are very in tune with our bodies and generally know when something's not right. You go get 'em, girl!
