Serene - sorry to hear your first cycle was abandon. We <jia-you> and try again!
We tried the short protocol the first cycle coz it was easier on the body (and shorter). We have male factor so no issue of hormones on female size, so no need to do suppression. But i think all these the first time the doctor is testing only one-la! hahaha.. like cooking curry, sometimes must add more spice, next time add more coconut milk.
Miracle - enjoy the 2ww. Hoping for BFP for you from your 3 little miracles!
