Still waiting

Still waiting for my period to raise its ugly head! Its Day 33 today and it should come within the next day or so......

We are on a tight schedule this cycle, because my husband and I have an o/s trip planned starting on 31/10/10, and I need to ensure that this IVF cycle is definetly over by that date. If I was to get sick again with OHSS my cycle of discomfort would be extended for the whole cycle and mine are generally on the long side ie. 32-34 days.

There are no mixed feelings with regards to doing my forth IVF stim cycle........I absolutely hate it! I'm dreading the injections, the bloating, the discomfort, the early 4hr round trip drives every couple of days, the scans, the anxious waiting to see what my ovaries and follies are going to do, the surgery, the recovery, the risk of OHSS, the waiting game to see if your embies are going to make it, or more likely not.

We are not at all good friends, IVF and me - and I've given it more than enough chances!
