EC Day 12 : Friday 9th June

So I looked over all my sheets again and the implantation could be 2 months. I still haven't had a cycle yet and I guess that is the best way to get the hormones out of my system.  As the next few weeks is going to be about dieting (booooooooo) I'll probably not blog every …

EC Day 11 : Thursday 8th June

I'm so emotional! At work I got arsy with the deputy head about changes to timetables and I sent a snotty email.  Now I'm reading through feedback from students about a club I started up and they've been so nice! I'm crying at it! I think I may be starting my period soon. 

EC Day 10: Wednesday 7th June

I've just come out of acupuncture and I must have fallen asleep in there! It flew by! I'm feeling quite tired now. I'd eaten some of last night's spaghetti bolognaise for my lunch and my stomach was making some threatening rumbles. She was pushing around on my stomach and I could feel it slipping around …

EC Day 9: Tuesday 6th June

I have put on weight. I feel massive at the moment and my clothes look awful! I guess I'm a bit swollen up. Also, the hormones are leaving my body and I have a sniffly nose and sore throat. I guess this is why they say we should give the woman's body time to recover …

EC: Day 7: Sunday 4th June

Yesterday I decided to have a drink with my partner as we don't have to be so strict.  This morning I'm feeling it! I don't think I'm going to do that again for a while. With all the changes I've been putting my body through there are many positives that has come from this, no …

EC: day 5 : Friday 2nd June

My abdomen is still painful when I go to the bathroom. Just after the acupuncture it felt better but it is beginning to be painful again. It doesn't hurt all the time though so it is not worth taking pain killers over. Some of the people on the forums are in much more pain so …

EC: day 4: Thursday 1st June

We are just waiting to hear from the nurses on the progress of our little eggies.  I have acupuncture today with someone new. I also have a nice bruise from the cannula  (Later) So, acupuncture felt different to my other sessions, probably because I am not coming straight from work and having to get the …

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 …
