Well, H is having surgery tomorrow for his wpw.

The seminar was good. I learned a lot. Like women who don't have children are more likely to get breast and ovarian cancer than women who have children. I was able to ask if they would still give medication to women who develop cysts. The doctor said yes, that they either remove the cyst or wait for it to go away. I also learned that IUI only has 15% success rate, while IVF has a 70% success rate. And that frozen embryos survive better than frozen eggs. And using frozen eggs and embryos has better success than fresh... because the medication actually decrease the chance of implantation. (Sorry if it's tmi!)

H said we will go forward with IVF. I'm so excited and scared! But at least I have hope again. But first, my surgery to remove the cyst.
