Wednesday 18th October: lead up to embryo transfer

Work has been so busy I haven't had time to collate my thoughts! So, I'm on Progynova and Cyclogest. The cyclogest suppositories are giving me squishy bowel movements which are not the nicest thing in the world. That seems to be the worst side effect so far. I'm doing one in the morning and one …

Sunday 3rd September : The day before we start again

I had acupuncture today and said I was starting Suprecur tomorrow. She knows more than I did! This is a down regulator. Full of guilt for being too laid back about the next course I came back and read the leaflet with Suprecur. So this will reduce my sex hormones, basically making me menopausal again, …

EC Day 10: Wednesday 7th June

EC: day 4: Thursday 1st June

Day 29 : Thursday 25th May

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 22 : Wednesday 18th May

With the increase in Gonal F I feel more tired this morning. The dose went over two pens yesterday, so it should be 150 from one pen and 75 from the next. There should have been 150 left in the pen but is set it to 225 because the window should read the left over. …
