Eeep! I'm afraid that I don't have any real suggestions, loula. Although, I am wondering if a medical certificate from a doctor would allow you to switch permanently to another room where there is less lifting? It's not as though this is a minor problem we are dealing with here... but I can imagine how you don't want to make waves after the promotion. I'm a high school teacher, and I spent term 4 of last year battling to be able to keep my job, and now I'm going to walk in this year and tell them I'm about to start IVF - just the principal and my head of department, but it's still a daunting prospect! Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

A natural cycle is where you take no medications and just wait for ovulation to occur, then put an embryo back? I don't suppose that would ever be an option for me, as I simply don't ovulate at all. Although, my FS did mention that he only uses injections for full cycles with EPU (I've got so much to learn here!), but for transfers, he likes to allow the body to produce it's own hormones, but doesn't use clomid... so I'm really wondering how he's going to deal with someone like me - he does know about the complete lack of ovulation! I can only guess that there's another drug that works in a similar way, that I haven't heard of yet.
