Well we got the phone call telling us to come in for egg collection at 3pm. I’ve booked the whole day off work as I didn’t know when we would be called and thought I could relax anyway. The thing I’ve noticed is that couples at the clinic are embarrassed. I walk into the waiting… Continue reading Egg Collection Day
I woke up thinking about hope. If I’m entirely honest I’ve not slept very well for the last few days and I always wake up in the middle of the night thinking about something really deep to either scare the frigging day light out of me so that I can’t go back to sleep. Today… Continue reading Hope – What is it good for?
Well what a shit night sleep I had. I woke up at 4am busting for a wee and then couldn’t get back to sleep. All I could think about was my little eggs in a lab hoping and willing them to grow. At least I have today off as I’m not sure I could have made… Continue reading Embryology calling…
We were up nice and early to get to the clinic this morning for the egg collection. A slight panic that we were going to be late due to the icy weather we are currently experiencing and the ungritted country roads. But we made it in one piece, bang on time. Got to the ward… Continue reading The results are in……..
Well after lots of injections today I am sitting here with alarms going off and no injections to take. It is the day before my egg collection and I’m bricking it. My hubby is watching Spurs and shouting a lot at the tv. I’m an Arsenal fan so I couldn’t give a shit that they… Continue reading The Egg hunt is tomorrow…..
So it’s finally the time to change onto the stimulation injections, when things start to get interesting. These next lot of injections are to grow your follicles ready for egg collection. So I have 2 injections every night to take for the foreseeable plus a slight change in diet where I need to increase my… Continue reading Follicle smol-licle!
Professionally for me 2015 was shit. Not one day, week or month, the whole bloody lot of it. I have worked at the same company for 10 years, working my way up from administrator to Director. For 9 years it was a lovely place to work at, the best. Without sounding too gushy, we were… Continue reading Sometimes life sucks
I’m running a bit behind on my posts as I started my injections before Christmas. In hindsight, I would have started the treatment in January so I could have got Christmas out of the way. However, I though more about my team at work and if I was going to be moody, then at least… Continue reading Moods and Swings
The IVF drugs have arrived in a massive over-packaged box to my work. I’m lucky to work with a really good bunch of people and some of them know about the IVF journey we are starting to embark on. So we were able to pack it away in the fridge until home time without causing… Continue reading Injection Day – What an anti-climax
Well we are finally at the fertility clinic and we are both excited and apprehensive. We get there especially early and are the first people there. It’s taken us about 2 years to get here with various delays and not that we are here, I feel like running out. Thoughts running through my head are… Continue reading We’ve finally made it, despite a bumpy road…
