Hi ladies. Sorry I've been so hit-and-miss with the posting lately. I'm all over the place emotionally and just keeping my head above water some days. I'm trying to keep up with everything and help where I can, but I'm not always posting if I have nothing meaningful to add. I'm still cheering you all on though, so please don't think it means it I don't care. I'm hoping for happy news for all of you.

kerbear/faye, thanks for thinking of me. I'm making good progress with the ankle. Had physio today and after she had finished... whatever it is she does that hurts so damn much... I could almost walk normally! I have been getting around the house without crutches since Tuesday, but still need the sticks for longer distances (eg shopping). Unfortunately, it took all of an hour for my calf muscle to tighten up again, but I'm doing my best to walk with a normal step (instead of limping). I'm just very slooooooow.... I can't tell you how liberating it feels to have the use of my hands again (while walking)!! I can open doors and carry things! Seriously, don't take those abilities for granted!! Unfortunately, still a long way off driving because I still have very limited range of movement in the joint (ie can't properly control the accelerator).

On the TTC front, I'm seriously considering getting a second opinion. We have enough money for 1 IVF, but when our FS is predicting we may only get 3 eggs, I'm wondering if it would make more sense to spend that money on several OI cycles? The biggest problems (endo and DOR) are on my end, so I can't help but think we should be using the money to get the most eggs possible. My current FS is great with managing my endo, but very rigid in his approach to AC. I need to make an appt and ask him about this, but I'm 90+% sure he'll say IVF is our only option. There's no out-of-the-box thinking in his process and I think that might be something we need right now.

I guess it all boils down to the fact that doing that one last IVF and putting all our eggs in one basket (pardon the pun) just simply feels wrong. No matter how I look at it, I don't get that feeling in my gut that says, "yes, this is the right way to go". I just get the "it won't work" feeling...

Do you think I'd be burning bridges with the current FS if I went elsewhere for AC? Do you think I could still go back to him for my endo?
