Hi ladies,

Thanks so much ladies, your messages have really touched me, I had a tear in my eye reading them all. I really appreciate it

Yeah n2l, DH's swimmers are stuck 'up there' and not coming down, IVF with testicular biopsy is the only way for us.

Jo, thanks so much for that info on the fertility clinic in Dandenong. We normally pay around $4500 (this time we got quoted $5200 as it was a new protocol cycle) through Monash IVF, it's such a difference in price! I just don't think we should be attempting a cycle right now purely based on the massive stress levels we both have. It just wouldn't work I don't think. My parents have offered to lend us the money but I think we better wait a while till we're both feeling less stressed.

I just wanted to add that I know some of you are doing your last stim cycles, and I really hope and pray that they are successful for you. We are getting to the end of our TTC journey too, and it's a lot to digest and accept. So all the best to you.

Also, I wanted to say that for those who are trying for their first child, I really hope that you'll get your little miracle soon too. We have been blessed with one here on earth, and I thank God for him everyday, he truly is a blessing and I hope that you'll get to experience that too.

Lots of love
B xxx
