    BW, it's a medicated cycle which is actually really annoying me because DW is fine, therefore I don't understand the need to mess with things. I guess it has something to do with introducing a 5/6 day blastie to an unprepared body, but 5 bloody oestrogen pills a day followed by 2 pessaries a day seems rather excessive in my uneducated opinion. But, I do trust our clinic and have to assume they know what they're doing.

    Speaking of natural cycles, we pretty much decided that if these three embies don't take, I am going to get another SA done at the end of the year and if the results are similar to my last one which was pretty good, we'll try naturally again for a bit (3-4 months). My first two SAs were ordinary, but our third gave us good cause for hope. Plus it gives us a bit of chance to get back on top of things financially seeing as I have just had to spend 2K fixing my bloody gearbox. Spewing about that.

    OT, but this is my thread (!) we both did our first acupuncture session last night. He said DW had very good energy levels from her meridien points (or something) across the board, except a slight drop in the spleen area which he said before he'd even tested was important with blood flow to the uterus. I don't know, but it's not that dear and worth a shot I think. So she got a preliminary treatment, followed by another in a fortnight, then a pre transfer (1 hr before) session and a post transfer session (1 hr after). He also gave me a freebie relaxation treatment and I think I might go back and get assessed properly just for interest's sake too. I'm a bit sceptical, but a lot more open minded than I once was and our clinic was positive about it too. I really needed the relaxation/mental health session - I have never mentioned it before but I can fully appreciate the anxiety problems you experience BW because I suffer from this, sometimes badly, at times. Actually, this is the first time I've ever admitted to this to anyone at all (apart from to DW obviously) even though I've been aware of it for years. As for the acupuncture, I actually did wake this morning feeling strangely calm for the first time in a week or two despite expecting nothing.
