Hi Di

[clunas]

Thanks for your 17 Sept message. Sorry to be slow getting back - have had a difficult 10 days or so. Interesting that you have one ovary more reliable than the other. My non-lazy (but oddly behaved) ovary has a 20 mm follicle on Day 3 this month, after another high Estradiol reading. So I'm hoping the clinic will scan me to see if I ovulated ok (I've just had a surge). Nerve-racking, isn't it? <br><br>My clinic's now agreed to try stims at the lower end of my cycle, but this month I'm far too high - even I can see that! What I'd like in the meantime is more 'hands-on' tests (eg for LH and Prog.) and scans in non-med cycles, too - just in case there's anything we can do to make a difference. This is a good clinic in terms of overall results, but understandably most of their effort goes into younger clients with much better chances. <br><br>I'm nervous about changing clinics due to my age (turned 46 last week). I guess you're much younger and not having a problem with getting accepted? I'm about to post an 'over-45s' message to see if anyone has any recommendations!<br><br>Best wishes,<br>Clunas.<br><br><br><br>

Hi Clunas,<br>Sorry to hear you've had such a tough time recently - this is my 3rd clinic and although its apprehensive trying somewhere new with completely new staff who don't know you - I've found the experience to be well worth it as each of the units has been more forward thinking then the previous!<br>Have you had a lot of difficulty getting accepted by units cos of your age? I'm 37 now and have been trying for 8 years.<br>Take care,<br>Di
