DH and I will be seeing our IVF doctor on Thursday afternoon to discuss where we go from here. I am currently trying to compile a list of questions so that we get as much benefit as possible out of our consultation. I think we will be able to go ahead with a natural FET after my next AF, and after lots of thought and discussion we will go with another single embryo transfer if that’s what the doctor recommends. The best outcome for us is a singleton pregnancy, I have seen the stats on the risks with multiples, not only in terms of prematurity and so on, but also in terms of the strain it puts on relationships. These are the last things we need after all this time and while there is always a risk of these things happening at least we will try and minimise that risk. If it means waiting a little longer for our bubs then so be it. I can’t believe I just said that! I guess it is something that has finally hit me..after waiting this long I have finally started to get some patience. It’s not time for me and DH to set a time limit on how long we try yet, so we may as well not subject ourselves to any additional pressure in terms of “I want to be pregnant by x” timeframes, god only knows IVF is stress enough itself.. Watch me change my mind if none of my frozen embies survive and we have to do another stimulated cycle… Anyway DH and I are just enjoying our non-children time, because when/if I do fall pregnant those weekend sleep ins, frivolous clothes shopping, trips to nice restuarants and pubs etc etc will become a distant memory I guess! We went to the show yesterday which was a bit of fun, except for the train journey (eek). I got a bit sentimental going into the poultry pavilion, brought back all those memories of showing chooks at lots of littles shows in country NSW with my Dad when I was younger. Made me wonder what kinds of memories I will create with my future bubs (fingers crossed)… ..and today Mum and Dad came up for a visit and we had a lovely day looking at the local craft market followed by lunch and a look around the Norman Lindsay gallery, which is not far from where DH and I live but is somewhere we haven’t been in the 2 years we’ve been living here! It’s nice to sort of chill out and just be for a while. I am a bit nervous about our next round of treatment, after all it has been such a relief to be off the hormones and the emotional rollercoaster for a while. Oh well you do what you have to do I guess.
