Ferrals, it must be very scary having that looming over this happy time but you have to believe this little one is a good, strong healthy bub and all will be well or it will do your head in. Worrying in advance will only upset you and you need to be resting. I know it is easier said than done but please try. You've made it this far and I really believe you will bring this baby home and all will be well.
Mildez, I don't think he'd suggest an antagonist cycle for that reason. I had long discussion with my FS about our type of cycle and he said almost all the cycles at SIVF are now antagonist cycles. They are much easier to recover from too, according to my TCM practitioner but the reason I'm doing a long cycle is to try to get more eggs. Given your age etc I can't see how you would be disadvantaged by doing it, especially if over stimulation is a possible issue.
Saffy, what a sick little turd to leave that sort of message on your phone! I'm glad you didn't take it seriously though I agree with the randomness of being reminded about pregnancy like that - makes me mad. I got on a bus a few weeks back and this woman just asks me straight out of the blue whether I have kids. I mean WTF? I don't even know her!! I was really upset about it - sometimes it feels like the universe is rubbing my face in it and then I wonder if there is just some sort of energy around me about TTC that others pick up on? Who knows!! Glad we'll be cycling together.
Crafty, you're not alone in the extra weight camp - I put on about 6kilos during my last IVF cycle and pregnancy - I've only lost it because of this strict diet. In fact, I'm a bit worried about loosing anymore since I'm now a size 12 - don't want to go any lower than that.
T-hopes, lovely to hear you so up - new 'do', new plan - it's all happening!! Don't worry about that friend, try to think of it this way: it's good to be around pg women's hormones as they can make ours a bit more active. It's the only angle I could ever think of to make it bearable!
Well after reading Ferral's last post I decided to ring Westmead to see if they have an age limit (they do - it's 43) and whether they would treat me (they will and I'm going to speak to them again Monday to give a few more details). I just can't get over the difference in price and I don't believe the odds would be that different so if this next SIVF cycle fails we'll keep trying through Westmead until I reach their age limit (18 months). Then I will give up gracefully (well, let's hope it's graceful and not a hysterical mess ). As for the cyst - it's definitely a cyst and I'm going for a scan to confirm. I just hope it pops with my next AF but it's been there through the last one and mine never seem to want to go that way so I don't know how that'll effect things - guess I'll have to see FS to see what he thinks. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend - sooo cold up here, we've got the fire on and I'm snuggling up with DH and crocheting him a scarf. Can't believe he is still not smoking and not one word about it! Just goes to show what he can do when he puts his mind to it.
