Esperan - Darling it's a case by case basis. I had 21 follies. I was told I might suffer from OHSS but they said I should be fine to proceed with a fresh cycle. At the time I was ecstatic, but soon realised that I wish they had cancelled the cycle. They pain I suffered with OHSS was nothing I would wish on anyone. I went from 72kg to 82kg in the space of 2 weeks, I put on about 30cm around the waist, I had fluid in my lungs, my follopian tubes, my kidneys, my stomach, my uterus and also fluid build up around my thighs (because I was bed ridden and it wasn't circulating properly). I was hospitalised twice and put on a drip. I can't tell you how scary it was. To top it off I then miscarried at 4 weeks. However this was not associated to the OHSS. OHSS does not cause miscarriage. I don't mean to scare you, but these things can happen. If they suggest you cancel your cycle it might be worth your while, even though it would be very upsetting at the time.

Mrs Zeg - Do you really park 1km from work? That's discipline for you! My work is 15 minutes drive. I told myself I'd ride the bike to and from when I first started there...that was nearly two years ago...the bike hasn't left the garage.

Miss K - Yeah, DH is pretty good sometimes. But other times Oh well, what can you do.

Misty - I hear you, after my last cycle I had 3 months off. No Bellybelly, FS, no nothing. You need it every now and then for your own sanity

Tiggerlinda - Come on in!

JBM - Welcome back. I hope everything becomes together for you well before september. Look after yourself and make sure you get in a few massages for a bit of TLC to help you back on the right track.

Loops - Welcome back! Sounds like you've had a lot going on. Well hopefully this is a fresh start for you with good news to come your way this year

Baby2bee- I'm glad you are positive at the moment. I hope it stays that way and good things come your way soon

AFM - Silly me ate prawns for dinner tonight. Is there truth to the story that you should eat prawns when you are pregnant?
