Monarchgrrl, that's exciting news! I just heard a rumor that our KD may possibly be back in town mid-summer instead of early fall, which would mean we could maybe start ttc a couple months earlier. Not getting my hopes up too far because it may not happen. But, I guess that means I better get more serious about some weight loss and finding a prenatal to start taking.

but there are some of us who are still around. I'm having to wait a bit longer than I expected, and I'd like to re-start this space for those of us who are still waiting to be ready for whatever reason.
I will be carrying DP's eggs, and at the same time DP will be donating 1/2 of his eggs to a woman (or man, I suppose) in need. They harvest 10 or so eggs during the cycle, and I get half. We had also hoped I could participate in a stimulated cycle at the same time, harvesting my eggs, fertilizing and freezing half and donating half to another person in need. This would have cut our costs down to just sperm and freezing, which is a totally manageable amount. Unfortunately the ethics board voted it out (too difficut to successfully manage that many people's cycles at once), so I will just be receiving eggs from DP and using my own later on.
The downside is that we now have to come up with about £3000 before we can start, which is much more than we had planned for. At this point everything's on hold till we come up with the cash, and then it could be a 2-3 month wait until we're matched up with an egg donor recipient.

for the delay... no fun at all!
: This is the first cycle I started temping -- it's 60 days long so far, but it's the first cycle since I got off of the BCP and Metformin for the PCOS. I've got a long road ahead, so it will be nice to have some company!
). It wasn't as awful as I thought, and had some decent stuff about meditation and treasure-map-style intention setting. I have all sorts of book suggestions - stuff I've read and stuff I really want to read. If I could only find my list...
