    Thanks Bun

    we are STILL weighing up the pros and cons...agonising over the decision...we need to just decide on a course of action and stick with it. Now we are back to thinking we'll go straight to IVF

    Em,

    I have no advice for you hun other than to just do what feels right. As women our decisions can be harder to make around AF time too.
    Big monster hugs, I hope your dreams become reality, you have been through so much and deserve a bundle of oy in your arms.

    Much love

    Good luck Possum!
    Is it really that high risk for someone to have a 2nd ectopic? I was told 20%? Now I am freakinf

    thanks ladies

    teme- it depends on the state of your remaining tube. Mine is in quite bad shape, with adhesions etc, which means it would be easy for an egg to get stuck in there! It also reduces our chances of falling pregnant in the first place, as apparently my tube is a bit 'clubbed down' at the opening, making it harder for an egg to get into it...and of course, I only have the one. So for me, the decisionto return to IVF is based on both those factors...and I guess is why my Ob referred me to IVF in the first place.
    I hope you have success soon.

    hi emma - i hope you're doing ok and i'm always checking up on you. in the end, i was really pleased with the decision to go to ivf (we were an "unexplained" case, so plenty of indecision about whether we should just "keep trying"). i actually didn't find ivf too tough - and quite liked knowing all the milestones and when everything was happening, rather than the unknown of trying naturally each month.
    go with your gut instinct - but for me, i don't regret going to ivf nor did i feel we opted for it too early (nearly 2 years).
    good luck - always thinking of you.

    Possums - I didn't know you had started your next cycle - congratulations. I know it must be exciting and scary at the same time - I have so much hope for you now that you have a diagnosis.
