An appointment,a chance encounter, and MORE waiting

We had our follow up appointment today at the clinic.

I went armed with questions on a piece of paper that once in there I was too embarrassed to pull out and consult but I remembered all of them anyway and our FS is so nice, he was quite apologetic about the fact that I had overstimulated, and then told me how unusual I was for having such a high FSH but a good AMH, and great ovarian reserve, apparently I am only one of 2 people he has come across with this rather confusing affliction.Awesome- I feel very...'special'....

But here's the dumb part, and it's my own stupid fault for making assumptions that I would be doing a FET in my next cycle...turns out it has to be the cycle AFTER that, so essentially embryo transfer won't be until the end of Feb.
Now I know that seems a small thing and hey, whats another 28 days, but honestly can this thing be dragged out any more?I just want to make it to the finish line of this bloody first IVF cycle.
He wants us to do a manufactured cycle...progynova tablets 3 times a day for 8(?) weeks, and pessaries,I was expecting a natural cycle so I'm off to madly google all I can about manufactured cycles.
The doc said that we have about a 40% chance with this FET, which in my glass-half-full state I thought sounded pretty good...until he added-
"so that means you have a 60% chance being back here for your second round of IVF"
This is the statement that my positive thinking brain had been kindly quashing to the back of my mind so I could blissfully ignore it.....until he kindly pointed it out.

So lesson learnt today-DO NOT make unfounded assumptions about your FET, you will only be disappointed!

Anyway that's my small gripe over with, and as my resolution is to stay positive this year, I'm thinking positively that I will use my extra month of waiting, to go hard at the gym and exercise away my frustrations.

So after the appointment we were heading over to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription and of all places to run into someone-we bump into my little sister! To explain, little sis is a professional rower and lives about an hour away from us in a town where all of the rowers reside to be nearby the lake, and this town is about another half hour from the city which the clinic is in, so it was totally unexpected to run into her.
Turns out she was waiting for her boyfriend at a medical centre and we all ended up having a super nice lunch together at a cafe.

Both of my sisters know that we need to do IVF, but otherwise I have kept most of the details and appointments etc fairly quiet from them, so she had no idea we would be there but she obviously knew why and didn't ask any questions which was good,it's nice not to have to talk about it sometimes ya know.
So that made our trip definitely worthwhile, and now if anyone asks why I wasn't there with 4000 others to run screaming towards The Hoff I can say it's because I was spending quality time with my little sis!
