Late--I was told that I would need to have a hysteroscopy prior to any embryo transfer, but I also had a cone biopsy. This apparently severely distorted my cervix, which is why my second ET was very fiddly, and it also took ages!
Val--Didn't take either of those, but I was definitely stuffed up from something. Maybe the folic acid supplements?
Rowing--The Grand sounds lovely. Think of it this way, you won't have to be moaning about nits, like poor Dachshund!
Dachshund--Are they gone yet? How are you doing? I don't know about nits, as I've never had, but I've just recently gotten over some extremely itchy skin rashes. Horribly uncomfortable!
Late--I think it's really easy to second guess treatments when you're going privately, because everything adds up. For me, I think I would want anything and everything done to me as long as it gets me pregnant. Plus, I don't think one more month TTC naturally is going to hurt you, IMHO. Go with your gut!
Italian--What's new?
As for me, starting to lift out of my funk a bit. I realized that I was starting to sound and feel like an ex-friend, who has cut herself off from anyone who has kids or who can still get pregnant. One of my close friends, who I was ranting to the other day, told me she's pregnant with her second, but she was hesitant to tell me. I told her that I never want to be the kind of person who doesn't feel joy and happiness for a friend. I can be jealous, sure, and I can feel frustrated, but I never want to cut myself off from someone because of that.
Amazing boss has connected me with her obstetrician, he also runs a fertility clinic. Appointment next Thursday. Although not pro bono, I think he's going to give us a greatly reduced fixed price for a cycle, but won't know until he sees us.
Sending love, hugs, and chocolate biscuits to all...
