Bowled a Bouncer

I've been cruising along ok, probably as I was only back at work for two days and then we had a long weekend for ANZAC Day.


Anyway, last night I was watching TV when they announced that Princess Mary of Denmark is due to give birth in October. I was momentarily shocked, I told my husband and started crying.

On Tuesday morning they seemed to be talking about it constantly on TV. They kept interviewing Danish journalists and quoting Danish polls etc. I know it's fantastic news for them and I admire her, because I can't imagine what it's been like thrust into the public spotlight, people commenting on your fertility like it's their right. But it just makes me feel left behind. I was due in October. I feel panicky, may be we should have transferred one and gambled with the OHSS? I wonder when we will transfer next month? Will it work? What if we run through all 7 embryos over the next 3 to 4 months? Back to bloody stims and the threat of Medicare being taken form us.


I feel like a batsman, settled in making a few runs, then even starting to tonk a few 4's and forgetting all the stress, then suddenly you have a bouncer bowled at your head and you no longer feel in control.
