Scan update

The scan today went well - both ovaries are looking normal and my lining is at 10mm with the 'triple stripe' pattern which is all good news. So transfer is scheduled for Friday afternoon. I'm hoping that we don't have too much to worry about seeing as how we have 6 frozen blasts to choose from, but this is IVF so who knows what could happen.

The other news from the specialist today was that he thinks that if this cycle doesn't work, then I may be able to get another one in before the new medicare system kicks in!! My blood test for this cycle would be scheduled for the 29th, if it doesn't work out then I could start bleeding on the 31st making that day 1 of the next cycle. The medicare system bases the refunds on the date of your first cycle day, so I would still be able to get the rebate under the 2009 system and safety net...just!! Was a big shock to be told this today, but it's obviously great news that we still have an option there.

I'm still coping really well emotionally too. I'm not even finding all these meds too inconvenient so far. Now that my son has me up at 5-5:30am every morning, the 5:30am tablet is no problem, I'm pretty much always home for the 1:30pm one while my son is having his nap, and I usually aim to go to bed by about 9:30pm anyway so I haven't found that an issue. I don't seem to have any noticable side effects from the progynova, and so far so good with the pessaries. For some reason, the side effects are terrible on the Crinone, but I seem to do fine with pessaries.

So feeling good so far. Not feeling particularly positive or negative about the outcome of this cycle. I'm at a point right now where I have realised that I have no control over the outcome, therefore it will do no good for me to try. I have to let go and trust in my future, for my family, and I feel so much better for it.
