Day 11 : Sunday 7th May

My lie in has been more successful so far. OH and I have dubbed today "Stress-Free-Sunday". I have to at least try and match all the forum ladies and their acupuncture. I am at 11 days and the nurses said you might expect bleeding after 10. I assume this is because the hormones have really …

Day 10 : Saturday 6th May

Woke up with good intentions to relax, had a lie in and a bath. After making some breakfast I sat down to eat it (with a smoothie, of course) and the dog walks in having rolled in something disgusting!  As I showered him off in a frustrated, angry state my breakfast got cold. Then OH …

Day 9 : Friday 5th May

I would have slept better if the dog hadn't of been barking at half twelve last night. What is wrong with him! I've had a look at some fertility apps, I downloaded two last night SIMS IVF Fertility View Last night I tried a visualisation from the SIMS one. I know I need to reduce …

Day 8 : Thursday 4th May

I'm still getting broken sleep and vivid dreams. I'm sure I read that as you get older you need less sleep and if the Progynova is causing menopausal symptoms that does seem to make sense. All day I've been a bit breathless but I'm good spirits. One of those vitamin C orange drink tablets re-energised …

Day 7 : Wednesday 3rd May

Last night wasn't the best nights sleep ever. Night sweats kept me awake. When I did sleep I had weird dreams but so did OH so that might not be the pills! I had a training course today so there was a lot of sitting around and there was a worry about he deep vein …

Day 6 : Tuesday 2nd May

Back to work. Be strong be strong be strong. Don't cry in front of a class (my biggest fear).The problem with being a teacher is that this feels so public. I'm spottier than usual and a bit scatty. If I cry the class will see. They will probably make me cry! Ok, don't project, it …

Day 5 : Monday 1st May

Bank Holiday Monday, May Day. Someone posted Happy Beltane on FB so I look this all up. Long story short, we cut a bit of hawthorn from the forest to decorate our living room because it encourages fertility. Apparently you can only have hawthorn in your house on May Day otherwise it is incredibly unlucky …

Day 4 : Sunday 30th April

Dull headache a lot of today. My nipples are bigger! We went for some food as vague and generalised internet research says I should eat protein. We went to a Brazilian BBQ place (all you can eat meat? Pretty sure this is OH's choice and they're using the IVF as an excuse. I guess if …

Day 3 : Saturday 29th April

I had a lot of work to do today, even though it was a Bank Holiday. Trying to not be stressed and just go with it. It was sunny so I worked outside and I think the fresh air is doing me good. Had a bit of a dull headache most of the evening so …

Day 2 : Friday 28th April

I slept well, no night sweats as the leaflet described. I didn't wake up to a bearded lady staring back from the mirror. It feels like I have a bit of a hangover. At work I felt a bit dizzy. I let some people know what was going on, mainly so they can watch out …
