Sunday 15th October : Lead up to Embryo Transfer

I've just done my last injection!!!!!!! I feel quite excited. It is making it all feel a bit more real. I had a cry on Friday night because I didn't feel ready but I think that was following two incredibly long days at work. This time next week I could be pregnant!!!!!!!!!!

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 …

Wednesday 6th September : lead up to embryo transfer

I'm owning the injections at the moment! It seems like ages since the last ones but I'm getting the hand of it again. I'm starting to feel a bit dizzy. The nurse suggested doing it in the evening and I think it so you sleep through the brunt of the side effects. They'll start building …

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, …

Day 27 : Tuesday 23rd May

My OH forgot to do something at work so woke at 12 am a panic. I am now VERY tired. For the first time I'm thinking about calling in sick using the IVF as an excuse. I know I won't, I just want to. I accidentally pricked myself in the finger with the injecting needle …

Day 17 : Saturday 13th May

I slept very well again last night and had a bit of a lie in! I read through the Gonal injection side effects out loud again to OH, these ones seem to add vomiting to the headaches, dizziness etc. I'm happy not to be so windy! That was a bit much. So now we are …
