EC : Day 3: Wednesday 31st May

So, for some suppository advice, wet it a little first and use a cotton bud to help push it in. It isn't as bad as you think it will be. I'm still a bit achey but not as bad as yesterday. I've booked in for a massage tomorrow to help all the hormones push their …

EC : Day 2 : Tuesday 30th May

We got a phone call this morning, 5 out of 9 eggs have fertilised! That is over 50%. They are going to wait and see how good the embryos are before deciding whether to freeze them or do a fresh implant. Now is all about getting my body ready. I'm drinking ridiculous amounts of water …

EC: Day 1 : Monday 29th May

So far we have arrived at Homerton Day Unit for 7:30, the reception staff were running late so the nurses got us all set up. There are about 7 other couples here all for the same procedure. We got taken through to a cubicle and given a backless gown and some disposable paper knickers. Also …

Day 32 : Sunday 28th May

My ovaries are aching. I can't call it pain because it doesn't hurt, it is more like a dull pushing sensation. If I'm not stretched out they do hurt. Egg collection tomorrow and my first ever operation. I think I'm going to buy some new magazines to keep me entertained. I don't think my op …

Day 31 : Saturday 27th May

It is the first day of half term and my Cetrotide injection has been moved to the evening so I have a real chance to lie in. Naturally this means I'm wide awake at 4:30am. I'm not in major discomfort or anything, I'm just fully awake. My eggs are still making my stomach feel like …

Day 30 : Friday 26th May

The scan is at 8:40 and OH is with me for this one. I still have mild cramping (nothing as bad as a period pain) in my lower abdomen. Fingers crossed there are loads of healthy sized eggs in there! Today may be my last Cetrotide injection... woop! (Later) Phew! I'm going to information dump …

Day 29 : Thursday 25th May

I've been getting a tightness in my abdomen quite like how you feel before a period, which is a little concerning. I don't know if this is the terrible diet I've had recently though or the egg production. I've also been getting nosebleeds (just small ones) which, when googling (good ol' google) can be an …

Day 28 : Wednesday 24th May

I wrote a post this morning and it didn't come up later on! Is it my scatty mind or the technology. Very hungry again, the healthy eating is ongoing but it is very hard when there are Percy Pigs in shops and I'm an eating machine. Acupuncture tomorrow, maybe I should mention it. Scan on …

Day 27 : Tuesday 23rd May

My OH forgot to do something at work so woke at 12 am a panic. I am now VERY tired. For the first time I'm thinking about calling in sick using the IVF as an excuse. I know I won't, I just want to. I accidentally pricked myself in the finger with the injecting needle …

Day 26 : Monday 22nd May

I skipped a blog post yesterday. It is my birthday today and we had a party on Saturday. Yesteday was all about the tidy up! I have a scan this morning to see how everything is progressing! (Later) The scan revealed that there are some eggs (about 6) but they are all a bit small …
