Thursday 28th September: lead up to transfer

I took today off and slept for most of the morning. I've worn myself out! The scan went well. She showed me the screen which I always like, I saw the womb and the "still" ovaries. Everything is slowed down and resting at the moment. Tonight I start Progynova again alongside the Suprecur (with a …

Wednesday 27th September : lead up to embryo transfer

I checked over Facebook at work and saw a post from a friend which needs digesting so I'm going to write about it all here. She was 41 weeks pregnant and previous posts have been pics of how big she was and how ready to see her baby she was. The post today read that …

Wednesday 27th September 2017: lead up to embryo transfer

I have a parents evening tonight so I'm going to have to inject at work. The hormones are filling up my body more, I can be close to tears. This morning I had a sob at the Take That musical because their mums were so proud! My friend recommended some cold sore patches which have …

Monday 25th September: lead up to embryo transfer

Yesterday I went on a bit of a mission. I can only describe it as nesting. I had a massive sense of home and wanting to make my home clean and nice. I mowed the lawn, cleaned, cooked, sorted out finances! This really energised me. This sense of self worth has been counteracted by a …

Thursday 21st September : lead up to embryo transfer

Last night the injection was hard. The needle didn't seem to want to pierce the skin! Maybe it was a little blunt. The result was a more painful injection and a solid bruise this morning. I've also had a bad stomach. Yesterday I had to run to the bathroom a few times. Someone else at …

Tuesday 19th September : lead up to embryo transfer

I had a migraine last night which made my vision blurry. I couldn't concentrate to do the injection prep so OH had to do it for me. I think it was following a particularly busy day at work and I probably didn't drink enough water and I didn't have much sleep. Because of the hormones …

Sunday 17th Sept: lead up to embryo transfer

All that fiddling around up there has bought on a bleed. It may have been a sympathy bleed after visiting my friend who was having a monthly struggle. It is not heavy and clearly a lot of lining. I'm a bit dozy so I accidentally dropped my femcup in the loo. This meant I had …

Friday 15th September 2017: lead up to embryo transfer

So I've just had a mock embryo transfer. I get this as I am a part of a trial. Apparently people on private healthcare get these mock transfers and the NHS want to do a study to see if it makes any difference to success rates. I have to admit, I'm glad I had it. …

Thursday 14th September 2017 : lead up to embryo transfer

On the tube home I was offering an older man my seat and he said "no you go ahead, you've had a heavy day". I don't know if it is the bags under my eyes or the yawning but I am grateful to him. Even if I did feel bad: he was about 70! He …

Saturday 9th September: lead up to embryo transfer

I have been decorating and got so into it my injection was 45 mins late. Just after injecting I feel a bit woozy and going up a ladder was probably not the best thing! I am caught between wanting to carry on as usual and taking it easy. I'm wallpapering the baby's room. I know …
