Monday 9th October : lead up to embryo transfer

I'm on the train to work following our scan. Apparently the womb lining should be over 6mm and mine is 6.2. Get in! She also said "it all looks beautiful" which obviously made me happy. I said I've been feeling a pressure like before having a period and she said that is totally normal. So...... …

Friday 13th October: lead up to embryo transfer

I have put on about half a stone! I know I cannot blame the hormones... I've been munching like no bodies business. I have a week to try and lose a bit. This time next week there will be some embryos in me! How about that? Fingers crossed they'll want to stay in there.

Tuesday 10th October : lead up to embryo transfer

We went out for a meal last night as it was our 7 year anniversary (of our first date) and because of the happy IVF news. We started talking names, which I know is a dangerous game. We have some quite different ideas about good names..... He said to name a girl after our grandmothers: …

Friday 6th October : lead up to embryo transfer

Last time I took Progynova I said the symptoms were vivid dreams. That is certainly happening again! I dreamt that a very straight friend started a gay relationship with an older, Italian man because he bought him a shop. I don't feel as ill and I think that is partly because I fixed my bike …

Wednesday 4th October 2017 : lead up to embryo transfer

I'm feeling pretty run down. I've got an earache which throbs every now and again causing my face to clench up. I look a little crazy. I need to feel more well so before and after transfer I'm going to take some time off. I can't be full of virus when those teeny tiny embryos …

Monday 2nd October : lead up to embryo transfer

The weekend was a massive mix of emotions! On Friday I visited friends and had a lovely time. It is VERY noticeable when people are drunk and you are not drinking! I went to a wedding in Saturday which was a dry wedding. I also drove so there were many excuses at the ready for …

Thursday 28th September: lead up to transfer

I took today off and slept for most of the morning. I've worn myself out! The scan went well. She showed me the screen which I always like, I saw the womb and the "still" ovaries. Everything is slowed down and resting at the moment. Tonight I start Progynova again alongside the Suprecur (with a …

Wednesday 27th September : lead up to embryo transfer

I checked over Facebook at work and saw a post from a friend which needs digesting so I'm going to write about it all here. She was 41 weeks pregnant and previous posts have been pics of how big she was and how ready to see her baby she was. The post today read that …

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 …

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 …
