Loula, thanks so much for your reply. We've had two FET cycles cancelled now, so looks like it will be HRT for me. Did you find it made you put on weight at all? I know this sounds like a very superficial and shallow question, but I put on 4 KG in my first IVF cycle and that made the BFN news much harder to deal with!
Ltl Panda - I guess the counselling probably differs from clinic to clinic (we are at Sydney IVF). DH and I spent about 1.5 hours with the counsellor on our first visit to the clinic. The counsellor was really trying to make sure we understood that IVF can take a very long time, and also that we didn't have our hopes up too much for success on our first go. We failed on both counts, I think the counsellor thought we were incredibly naive (which we were!!). Other than that I didn't hear from her again until I got my BFN, then it was great to have a chat to her and know that the counselling service is there if needed.
Good luck! And thanks to everyone for making me feel so welcome here. I wish I had found this site 6 months ago!
