Traceylee - I'll pass the DVD your way if you want ... they show all the big needles and where they go (or go through! EEK!) and show you all of it via the ultrasound ... I honestly thought Dan was going to pass out ... then I almost did when they tried to down play it by saying something (which I won't say for fear of having the entire LTTTC thread running away). But it certainly had the desired effect, Dan now reckons that any guy even thinking of doing IVF with his lovely wife, even if they're not TTC anytime soon, should watch that video. He's now treating me like the goddess that I am ... not that he didn't before but he's certainly raised that pedestal just a little bit higher ... now I'm just trying to work out a way of making it last ... I don't think I can keep playing the DVD until bub's is 18 just to keep him in line!!!

As much as I'd love the premeds and the anaesthetic they play merry hell with my body ... last time I was under I came out and had to be immediately admitted to hospital ... I was outclassing the exorcist in barf production!!! That's the bit that I'm going to hate more than anything ... I'm not a good girl under anaesthetic ... I always come out feeling like death warmed up ...

Mrs eeyore - I can only tell you my experience, when AF went MIA on me they made me wait more than six months before doing anything about it ... I didn't find her from January until September, and she only showed up 'cause the OB/GYN who was now treating me forced her to show up ... as for loopey ... I think by the end of it all I could have had a chain or rollercoaster rides I was that loopey ... but unfortunately there wasn't a gosh darn thing I could do about it, so waited I did ... that's the joys of LTTTC ... we wait and we wait and we WAIT!!!
