Hi Girls

AmyJB - Gosh thats awfully expensive. I must admit my clinic in one of the cheapest of SA. For a stim I have to pay $3100 to my FS, then $285 for hospital bed, $175 for aneasthetist, $250 if any are frozen. I get back $1555 back on medicare from FS on the first cycle per calander year then $2330 back for subsequent stims. Out of pocket $1545 (FS), hospital bed $285, $45 for aneasthetist, $250 frozen storage. Total = $2125, but the subesequent ones are $1100.00 out of pocket. For a frozen cycle we have to come up with $1250 but get back $680 so out of pocket is $570.00. I know from others that everyone elses is really expensive too.

Porsche - FX AF comes soon x

Jane - Good luck with your BT & US on the 3rd.

Keta - So sorry hunni that your cycle was cancelled. My DH was like a deer in a headlight when our FS said IVF was pretty much the only way to go. He has come around though, so FX your DH will too.

Bee - So sorry about your loan and about all the struggles that your dealing with. You must feel very overwhelmed We are all here if you need. Life can certainly be very trying at times

myturn - Congrats on going again. I know you were thinking about taking time off to get buff

AFM - Well DH came home in a foul mood Friday night from working away all week and it pretty much kept going until this morning but now I am the one in a foul mood. He is hating life in general at the moment. Hates work. Hates that we are still not pregnant. Pretty much just hates everything at the moment.

We are considering buying a business. Just a small gardening one, and we have yet to see the bank, but this all means that IVF will be put on the back burner. I have to support him in this as the way he is now, there is no point in bringing a child into his unhappiness. So, I figure we get him happy and go from there. I have five snowbubs that will just have to stay on ice a bit longer. I am pretty sad to give it up for now, but we can still try naturally. My sister in law was saying on the weekend she is having a big clean out and has soooo much stuff for me. Cots, car seats, high chair etc. I almost burst into tears.

I know I am in the TWW, but have no symptoms. Nothing. AF is due on the weekend, and we were going to go into another FET, but now thats been put on hold. All I can say is the bank had better give us the money asap so we can get back to it. I will hang around till AF arrives, then will bow out for a while. Any offers to take over the list?
