    Jumping back in this group

    after losing Zachary at 8 weeks to T18. I am going a bit bonkers, over a year of TTC we finally get preggers and he had T18... I mean really?? whats the chances

    Hubby wrote a pleading email to our FS and they are letting us do another FET cycle at a discount and also allowing us to pay it off rather than upfront, claiming medicare first too. Some light of hope and generosity at this monumental crappy time.

    I am not sure when I am going to start I have have one normal AF before we start, as my DC was on the 31st of December. I am stressing a bit as my boobies are still leaking as well which may hold off AF. I have tried the meds to dry it up and they just make me feel so sick. Any advice to get them to dry up?

    Krikkit, kellymom (website) has some links, but they seem to just focus on lactation after a late or neonatal loss, so not sure if you want to read them (might be upsetting?). I suspect you may have to wait it out until your hormones are back to normal. I would also postpone the FET until you have stopped leaking because your prolactin is probably elevated, which may interfere with the FET. I know most clinics won't allow you to do an IVF cycle while breastfeeding (or until 3 months after weaning) because of the hormones; I think the same may apply for FETs. At the very least I'd be discussing the situation with your FS to get their advice.

    krikkit - welcome back, I hope you can do another FET soon and glad FS is looking after you. I'm so sorry for your loss though

    Rai - I hope the rest of your TWW doesn't drive you too crazy! FX for a BFP

    AFM - Sitting at work drinking my second can of coke zero for the day and also had 2 cups of tea earlier and have made the decision to cut out caffeine as of now. What do you think - waste of time or worth it??? I figure I want to give this IVF cycle the best chance....

    faye - Thank you, I gave up caffeine and was drinking decaf tea and even gave up sugar with my tea, and i still am drinking the decaf with no sugar.
    I have heard quite a few times that giving up caffeine is a good thing while ttc it still took me ages to conceive giving it up so i honestly dont know. What
    i do know is you have to be happy and know you have done everything you think is going to give you the best chance at ivf its a decision that you have to
    be happy with sorry i have not been much help but goodluck xxx
