Back to hospital again yesterday. Was really apprehensive as had spent most of last week and the bank holiday weekend waiting for my period to start and getting more and more frustrated when it wasn't. As usual my body was having the last laugh just as it did when we first went ahead with IVF. Whereas the last 2 months I have been 28 days each cycle this time around I got to day 37 and started the day before my hospital appointment. Even my acupuncturist failed in her attempt to speed the process up. Fortunately I shed enough lining in 24 hours to be "thin enough" in terms of womb lining to proceed onto the second stage - the oestrogen tablets. Now on day 2 of those and go back next Friday. On a much higher dose than last time from the outset as my first attempt at a frozen cycle failed as my body wasn't reacting well enough to the medication, needless to say am a little nervous as we can't see inside to know what's happening.

As we go back the day before we go to Wales for a week's holiday (booked months ago!) we are hoping I'll be "fat enough" by then to go ahead with a transfer and can just come back from Wales to Leeds once for that to happen. Will be very frustrating if we have 2 or more trips back and won't benefit from a week away from home/work..... but then if life ever went to plan we wouldn't be here and needing the medical assistance in the first instance!!
