    Hi Ladies, thank you to all of you for such thoughtful messages! I had a good cry yesterday and have now picked myself up off the ground and am ready to move on.

    CP, you sitch sounds very similar to me. I also only found out I had PCOS this cycle with 30 follicles doing their stuff within 4 days of the injections. I had suspected I had mild PCOS previously but had never had it diagnosed. This just confirmed it. Now they know to start me off on a smaller dosage next time. They just jumped from 150 to 25 because I became so sick! Interesting what happened from your 20 eggs though. Just goes to show it really is trial and error and we're the lucky guinea pigs.

    I also sent a good long letter to all those PMs Buggirl and have also managed to get friends and family to write letters. It is SO important. I for one will be devastated if they cut the Safety Net. It will just make fertility treatment unattainable and with it my goal of ever having children. Usually I leave the letter writing and campaigning to others but this time I thought I couldn't just sit back and hope someone else would fight for something that means so much to me.

    I know a few ladies were having EPUs today. Wishing you all the best of luck ladies!!!

    My FS just called me himself to offer his apologies for the way things turned out this cycle and said he wants me to wait a month before starting the next cycle as my blood work shows my body has taken quite a beating and he wants all my hormones etc to return to their normal level before starting again. He also mentioned that he would approach things differently next time by using a GHRN Antagonist Cycle whatever that means. He did mention there was a different drug involved. Off to google but if anyone has any information to assist that would be great! thanks again ladies.
