I'm another freaking out about trying to get another stim cycle in this year! For us, the safety net is only a small part of the reasons we want to get it in now, rather than at the start of next year. I'm currently running along at work under load - my final year students have gone, I am finished with all the assessments I need to set (still some to mark) - it's really just a matter of tidying up the loose ends and then the school year is over. Next year it looks like I'll have two senior classes, and be having to support a new HOD and at least one other new teacher in the faculty... Most certainly not the environment I'd like to be facing OHSS fear and a stim cycle in! Work-wise, I just can't see how I can manage the time commitments of a stim cycle in those early stages of the year...

Meanwhile... the truth of our disastrous thaw last week was that we only lost two embryos, the final one was transferred... not that it mattered, really, it all fell in a screaming heap with AF arriving yesterday and a negative blood test on top! We see our FS next Thursday to find out where to go from here... I've got another stress on top of all that as I don't exactly know when I'm supposed to start taking the pill for it all!

Starting to lose my trust in the whole IVF process... finding it very difficult to hope at all at the moment... Sorry for the self-absorbed, depressive post...
