    Janie,
    Sure you don't want to hear this but starting next year might not be such a bad thing. If you are not sucessful on your first go (and you do a cycle this year) you will end up paying the medicare threshhold twice. It could save you a couple of thousand dollars...something to think about...

    About that... we have hit our threshold this year already, does that mean it's cheaper for us to do IVF in December than it will be in January? Because if that is the case I want to do a big EPU this year and only FET's next year.

    It's a good point N2L. I'm pretty relaxed about it at the moment, although I know that will probably change once I actually get back on the cycling wagon again!

    Saffy - thanks for that clarification, I obviously had my wires crossed

    Janie - How exciting, not long to go until you start. I have no idea about the Medicare Threshold stuff, I just pay & claim what I can....

    AFM - Follies haven't increased in size, but I have 25 now.... getting worried that I am going to overstimulate.... waiting on bloods but probably have to go back on Thursday and see what is happening..

    Hmmmm...potentially M. Can you ring your clinic and ask???

    Rhi, they might get you to coast. That is stop the fsh for a couple of days to see if they grow.

    Well, they have cancelled my cycle - my hormone levels are not increasing, they are decreasing so I have to go back to the professor for him to review my treatment plan. Fark! So, I feel like my body has again failed me.... They won't do back to back cycles, so we will be put off until the New Year now. So, I wil bow out of this thread, apart from stalking and looks like I am back to ttc naturally. Sort of works out well I guess since I have my sisters wedding in January.....

    Good luck to you all xxx

    Oh I am so, so sorry Rhi

    I know it won't be much comfort but a lot of us have been there. I had to have a D&C on my first cycle. Saffy, I think had hers cancelled. The first cycle should be free IMO as they really are just experimenting with doses, etc.

    Feel free to drop in from time to time. You are one of us now...we won't let you go without a fight or a BFP

    Take care and make sure you have a good cry and rant. It will help. Trust me.

    See you soon x
