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...... …

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 …

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 …

Tuesday 19th September : lead up to embryo transfer

I had a migraine last night which made my vision blurry. I couldn't concentrate to do the injection prep so OH had to do it for me. I think it was following a particularly busy day at work and I probably didn't drink enough water and I didn't have much sleep. Because of the hormones …

Saturday 9th September: lead up to embryo transfer

I have been decorating and got so into it my injection was 45 mins late. Just after injecting I feel a bit woozy and going up a ladder was probably not the best thing! I am caught between wanting to carry on as usual and taking it easy. I'm wallpapering the baby's room. I know …

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 …

Tuesday 5th September : preparing for transfer

I spoke to the school nurse today about injecting in the leg or the stomach. She said that the stomach is probably best because you don't want to inject into muscle. I mean, I don't have much muscle on my leg but there is definitely less muscle in my belly!  The angle she showed me …

Monday 4th September: preparing day 1

So I injected Suprecur in my belly. I forgot about the build up! It takes guts to push that needle in. I'm on 0.5 and this seems a lot compared to the others. The syringes are thinner though. I went for the belly because I thought it would be easier with the syringe but it …

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, …
