    Hi Acacia

    We are currently doing an FET cycle and when I rang to book in with the FS to discuss the plan the first question I was asked was "Are you B'Fing", when I said that I wasn't I was told it was then ok to proceed but if I was B'Fing they wouldn't do an FET cycle.

    I hope your little ice babies have a safe flight across the world to you. Goodluck.

    If you are told to stop breastfeeding and don't want to, it's worthwhile looking into it more - the podcast is a good start and the speaker in the podcast can be contacted with further questions (let me know if you want to be put in touch). As Marcellus said, it is very much the same as other types of treatment and drugs - most doctors don't have the latest information on safety while breastfeeding so say it's not ok to protect themselves. In any specialised field it is always worth doing your own research if you are not happy with the medical advice. It is a really tough decision for anyone to make, and I am sure having lots of information makes it easier to rest assured you are doing the right thing.
