Rols - Thanks so much for your info. Your encouragement warms me. Your FS is pretty spot on! Comparing my last IVF & this one, the ratio is absolutely correct.
I agree with your vibe, the focus is directed at the woman and it should be equally shared. I changed this for us in our clinic. DH has total control over the situation, cycles etc. I'm just the brooding hen hehehe. I may sound very "unfeminist" , I dont care, without him, this journey would not be happening. DH confirms the appointments, calls the nurses when we need to, decides on how many embies go back in (yes I disagreed this time - scared), reminds me of needles, creams, sprays etc. No, he does not feed me nor take me to the bathroom or for walkies. Its not that I want him doing it all & bustin' his chops for me, its that I know he so wants to be a huge part of this & he should. The nurses call DH for everything; results, scan appt, etc. This does benefit me in the fact that I need not worry about half the stuff that is going on, I just turn up & can enjoy the trip. DH has huge shoulders & Im leanin' on em'. Usually the only times I have been called is from the Scientists & Day Surgery.
We share this trip equally. Its hard work for us & if the load can be shared, pass me the dumptruck cos mines full!
Im excited your journey has formally begun & moving quickly. Congrats!! Hope your week at work is better than the last one & DW is not anxious about the needles, just excited.
Take Care
Tracey
