Hi everyone
trubabe - I am so sorry about your mum, but try to stay positive ok. People beat breast cancer every day....my mum included. I know it's not what you need right now but stay strong.

brunette -I don't know why your doctor would tell you that about FET's.....there has been heaps of good results. In some ways they can be even better if they can do a natural cycle....less medication and stress. DEFINITELY try acupuncture, it has been a God send for me. I don't know anyone in Bris though sorry, I'm on the coast and have found the BEST guy. My 1st stim cycle was a disaster....2 immature eggs, none of which fertilized. I started acupuncture before my 2nd go and we got 7 eggs and 3 blasty's. Not to mention it does wonders for your stress levels. You won't regret it!

AFM - I have appointment tomorrow to talk to doc about stim cycle for Jan so I'll keep you posted. Got a new price list from clinic today and was pleasantly surprised, not going up as much as I had feared. Still bites the big one that it's going up at all though. I think I'll join you on the picket line too brunette!

I hope everyone else is hanging in there and looking forward to some festivities....
