The phone went at 7:55am this morning and it was Ross. He was ringing me to make sure I was up and ready, and that I wasn’t to nervous I think. That was his main concern, and I could tell by the tone of his voice that he felt really bad and terribly guilty. He said he had been worrying all morning and that he just wanted to make sure I was ok, bless him. He really is a great support to me and so very caring.
Well did I have a surprise for him?,……. I’d done it, I had actually done it, all on my own. YES,… YES,… YES, but I don’t really know how, because now I was in total shock, hehe, I had just given myself two injections. I am sooooo proud of myself. I remember wiping my tummy with the alcohol strip and then, bomb, I JUST DONE IT!!!!! Just like that. I’m simply the best,…… better then all the rest,…… better then anyone. Suddenly I had turned into Tina Turner, dancing and singing around the kitchen. Giggling like a silly little girl, How can this make me soooo chuffed?
I couldn’t quite believe that I had done it, you see the biggest lesson you learn on the long journey of infertility is failure, and that’s what I thought was going to happen this morning, but I shocked myself and DID IT. So I now have the new drug Gonal F in my system, and to be honest I haven’t had any side effects from it yet. I know it’s very early but with the Burselin I had side effects immediately. So I consider myself lucky because with this drug Gonal F some of the side effects are pretty dam awful I must say. So I’m just hoping that I am going to sail though this stage. What this drug is doing is stimulating egg production via super ovulation, that’s what is says in my book, sounds interesting to me, but this is really the most important stage of the IVF because if I don’t produce any good eggs, I wont be having any fertilised and then in turn I wont be having any children, so I have to look after myself at this stage. To make my chances even higher and produce good quality eggs I have to eat boiled eggs, and this is no joke or old wife’s tail, it does actually work. So for the next 12 days I will be living off boiled eggs, oh dear I’m thinking the farts may return?
