Feeling better

Apologies for my very depressive and dramatic post yesterday, I just had "one of those days" I suppose. I feel much better today.

I've done more research as to my gallstones and if you have gallstones without any symptoms or frequent attacks, they are classed as asymptomatic gallstones and only 10- 20% of people with asymptomatic gallstones will ever need surgery, and up to 25% of the population have them and are only found by accident.. Most are prescribed painkillers incase of an attack and told to just keep an eye on it. The longer you go without an 'attack' the less likely you are to have one. Usual gallstone attacks occur a few times a week, or weekly, I've gone 3.5 months without any pain so I think I'm OK :)

Met with FS today, we signed off the forms to go through the "antagonist protocol" or IVF, which is different to long and short protocol in that its designed for woman who are at risk from OHSS. They use less of the stimming medication but just as much LH, so fewer eggs but hopefully of good quality. They aim to get between 5-10 eggs per cycle. They prefer to for 5 day transfers all being well, and take it from there.

Success rates are around 30%, although FS believes ours should be slightly higher given our ages and my AMH, but we will get a better idea once they've done egg collection.

We even asked FS about the holiday we have booked in October and she said we would only be 14 weeks pregnant so would be absolutely fine to go on holiday. If it works obviously.
