Motherhood here i come!- A holiday sounds perfect! Being a current resident of Far North Queensland, may I make a suggestion? If you're concerned about being too far away if something goes wrong why not look at Port Douglas? It's gorgeous and warm and you feel like you're a million miles away from everything but you can be back in Sydney in 3 hours or come back to Cairns if there's a problem.

I'm sorry to now make this post about me but I'm after some reassurance (or reality if that's what's needed!). I've just had my first scan and there are only 5 follicles. That seems low to me but my FS said he was happy with things and hasn't increased my dose of FSH so I guess that's a good sign? I spoke to the nurse and she said those numbers are on the low side but my estrogen levels are perfect so it may mean that they are good quality and contain eggs. She also said that there may have been some small ones that he didn't count that may be there when I have my next scan on Friday. I'm just worried that the odds will be against me if I'm starting with a low number...

The nurse also said that the lady who was in just before me had no follicles so things could be worse...

I'd really love to know what you all think.
