It has been quite an eventful last few days. On Saturday we went back to the hospital (more later), Sunday we were at A&E since Jonny accidentally spilled some Hammerite in his left eye (he's fine now, although he had a red eye rim for a couple of days). So Sunday night I jokingly remarked that I wasn't going back to the hospital on Monday. How wrong I was...
On Monday the builders came around to finish off some small jobs in and around the house. One of them being cutting some tiles in the kitchen to fit the kitchen properly. One bit was particularly difficult to reach so he needed to have a good close look at it. This resulted in a tile cutting flying in to one of his eyes. So back to A&E. He is now doing fine too.
Officially we have started with IVF treatment number three. Hopefully third time lucky. Since Saturday I am taking the pill in order to downregulate any enthusiastic follicles. This should give them the chance to growth all at the same rate. I also had some blood taken to determine my FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) level.This was raised. Although this can vary from month to month, it is indicative of the repsonsiveness to the hyperstimulation drugs. That will be low. I was absolutely gutted.
It feels like no amount of healthy living, organic food and expensive supplements will do the trick for us. We just need copious amounts of luck. And some more.

Hi Flo,
Thanks for your com on my blog!
Well, news are rather good on my side: I've had the "official" ultrasound of the 1st semester (10 pregnancy weeks) and the baby is doing fine! The placental detachment is almost totally resorbed, and the baby has caught up with its growth lag.
Now, all I have to do is enjoy my pregnancy and stay quite still as the placenta is low attached.
I'm approaching the end of the 1st semester and getting more and more confident that everything is going to be all right.
I'm glad to read that you have officially started the IVF treatment again. Enjoy the quiet weeks under the pill before the great stimulation again! I hope this time is the right one for you!
I've read that you have taken advantage of the break in the treatments to move in and go on a week-end, that's a good therapy to recover and to prepare for the next IVF!
I wish you all the best for the next attempt.
Do you already know when you are starting the FSH injections?
Love, Christine
