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 …

Sunday 10th September : Lead up to embryo transfer

I finished the room (just carpet needed now) And it feels good! As soon as I injected myself at 19:00 I knew I'd have to stop. It takes about 5 mins to start feeling drowsy. OH witnessed the effects today for the first time and was surprised at how quickly it happened. So far drowsiness …

Friday 8th September : lead up to embryo transfer

So after a long week I get home and OH has bought wine! Bit annoyed. I'm not drinking. Ok... one glass! There was also spaghetti bolognaise so that made up for it.
