It's a bit sad that nearly three weeks after the appointment I finally managed to tell DH all that was said. Along the line of "I think my rheumy is full of crap because..."
He hasn't made any comment on it.
But I think I've decided what I want to do.
I am going to consult with an FS or two, including one who's a reproductive immunologist (Sydney girls will know who I'm referring to!) and possibly another rheumy. Time to bring out the arsenal of second opinions!
If it really is now or never then I guess we suck it up and jump on in. At least I know there will be a reprieve from the arthritis pain when I jump up to 10mg of prednisone to cycle, and when I'm pregnant.
If it's not a now or never thing, then I think I'd like to leave it for another year. I prefer the idea of an age gap on the other side of three years! I know many people manage with much smaller age gaps, but I'm not many people and I do have significant health issues to consider and virtually no family support anywhere near close to us.
i really hope you get some proper answers huni. the only thing i can say is exactly what i said to my dp is i want all the facts, risks etc before i commence Ivf. I am on morphine for the pain and it scares me because of the drug and the probs it can cause. You have support here huni, take care xox
