The injections went really well this morning. There was no…………..How do I do that ? And ……….What do I do now? If fact it was a calm relaxing morning. Ross was back on top form and slipped right back into his role on Executive fertility liquid inserter, and was full of confidence and pride, I also felt surprisingly calm this morning even though I have started to feel a few side effects of this new drug. Well I DEFINATELY know I have got two ovaries, yes one on each side and they are both doing something at the moment, I can tell ya!! Both of them are quite painful and quite frankly it feels like someone is jabbing me in the sides with a snooker cue. NOT a great feeling, and my bloody hot flushes keep flaring up at the most inconvenient times. Normally when I am out in public of course. People must look at me and think I’m having some sort of withdrawal from heroin, after all I do look a bit young to be going through the change.
Hummm, now I have got to go up to Hammersmith on Friday morning for a blood test. I am a little worried, not because of the needle……. Obviously!, Well I could probably do it myself, but because they are checking that the hormone level is corresponding with what they are seeing on the scans of my ovaries. If it’s not the IVF cycle will be stopped and we would have failed. So I really want Friday to come and go, and for us to have hopefully jumped right over that hurdle they have plonked there once again. See unfortunately fertility treatment is one hurdle after another and a whole lot of waiting and praying in between, but over the many years Ross and I have become pros at this, sooooooo once again, BRING IT ON !!!!
