Whether it's cheaper than flying to and fro from Australia where we are covered... well, I don't know. At the moment, the thing where our embryos are still in Oz make that a moot point.<BR/><BR/>Plus - leave work to move to a new country I've never been to before to become a professional IVF patient? Would I slit my wrists? Do we really want to add "cutting down to only one income" to our list of problems? Or do I want to try and find a job that I'm constantly absent from due to "illness" such that they get pissed off at me when jobs in my area in Singa are pretty few and far between? All great options. <BR/><BR/>Talk me through this for a moment.<BR/><BR/>My current plan: stay in Oz til Feb. Unless this morning's rate of attrition continues, we have enough embryos to last til then (assuming we stick with single transfers which, well, wait til I check the obstetrical cover on our insurance and then I'll get back to you... although hmmm... taking care of twins in a country far, far away from family and friends... still doesn't seem like top stuff even if the medical side is covered.) <BR/><BR/>Feb we... make a new plan. Too many variables for anything more detailed.<BR/><BR/>Can anyone - ANYONE - see any options I can't?<BR/><BR/>BeaBeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11877513815828460269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25184159.post-1155008705761453132006-08-08T13:45:00.000+10:002006-08-08T13:45:00.000+10:00Oh Bea !It may very well only be a short time alon...Oh Bea !<BR/><BR/>It may very well only be a short time alone, I know that doesn't make it any easier...<BR/><BR/>Can you continue to do IVF in Singapore ?<BR/><BR/>We will be here to support you, all the way.<BR/><BR/>Take careColourYourWorldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01869194928164916281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25184159.post-1155008042234721292006-08-08T13:34:00.000+10:002006-08-08T13:34:00.000+10:00Oh Bea, that's good and bad news all rolled up int...Oh Bea, that's good and bad news all rolled up into one! Does that mean you'll be staying here while he's in Singapore? It will be hard, but not impossible. I hope you don't need to 'go it alone' after this cycle ... but if you do, you know we'll still all be here for you.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your transfer.StellaNovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06100713458878621577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25184159.post-1155007337140975702006-08-08T13:22:00.000+10:002006-08-08T13:22:00.000+10:00Not to take anything away from Katty who really is...Not to take anything away from <A HREF="http://kattypuss.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Katty</A> who really is going it alone, but it's time to reveal the other subplot in my life at the moment.<BR/><BR/>Mr Bea found his dream job. <BR/><BR/>He's been interviewing for the last 2 months and today he accepted their offer.<BR/><BR/>They want him to start in about a month.<BR/><BR/>It's in Singapore.<BR/><BR/>It's a two-year committment.<BR/><BR/>How long can we put all our dreams on hold waiting for something that might never be? No - I couldn't ask him to pass it up.<BR/><BR/>So unless this cycle works (FS didn't seem that chirpy about it and believe me, he's a pretty chirpy guy) I'll be going it alone.<BR/><BR/>Until our embryo supply runs out.<BR/><BR/>And yes, basically this is a blantant plea for lots and lots of support.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, guys.<BR/><BR/>BeaBeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11877513815828460269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25184159.post-1155003884725464202006-08-08T12:24:00.000+10:002006-08-08T12:24:00.000+10:00Four embryos.

So we thawed a fourth. <BR/><BR/>It's ok - average - but so fresh from the freezer no-one really knows whether it's going places or not.<BR/><BR/>This time, it hits me softly, without the explosive passion of months gone by. Just as deep, I'm sure, but it's an old wound and knows how to open and heal.<BR/><BR/>It is right to take some time for those that have been lost.<BR/><BR/>And for those who linger tenuously - I guess I'll be here, doing everything I can.<BR/><BR/>BeaBeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11877513815828460269noreply@blogger.com
