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 …

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 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 …

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 …

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 15 : Thursday 11th May

Overnight I had a small bit of spotting. The nurse said to expect it at about day 10 and my body has always been a bit slow. The scan is at 9:45 so I get a bit of a lie in, which is nice. Of course my body clock has decided this isn't going to …

Day 14 : Wednesday 10th May

Sleep, again, is not my friend. It isn't so much not being able to sleep, it is when I'm woken up (thanks dog and fox for the barking battle) my mind switches on and won't turn off. I'm trying all the meditation tips from Calm and Headspace but it isn't happening. Last night OH said …

Day 13 : Tuesday 9th May

I had a vivid nightmare about having to inject myself in the stomach. Sleep has not been kind to me. Neither has the dog, squeezing a toy outside the bedroom at 5:30. So, I've been trying to wind myself down. I know other women can do it so, logically, I can do it too. I …

Day 12 : Monday 8th May

More vivid dreams! It means I'm waking quite tired. My friend said many of the side effects are similar to how it feels when your pregnant. She said to get ready for orgasm dreams! I'm ready! Now please... please? I'm going to try and sort out some relaxation things today. I found a place near …

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 …
