Progress

My day 8 scan went really well. I have 12 good size follicles!!! YAYAYYAYA and some smaller ones too.

My doctor has upped my injections from 175ui to 250ui. They would rather I over stimulate so that they can collect as many as possible than to have to cancel again if they don’t get big enough. I don’t think I will over stimulate though, I’ve had one day on the higher dose and feeling fine.

I have another ultrasound in a couple of days to see how much they have grown and will then plan the egg retrieval operation! I have also started my 2nd lot of injections- cant for the life of me remember what is called... Its not like I should know what I am injecting into myself on a daily basis :/ ANYWHO- I have to do those at night. So Gonal F at 8am and then the *other one* at 6pm. The injections are hurting this time around, me-no-likey.

    1. I have really been struggling today. Grumpy and getting annoyed at my husband and then I read that blog link and burst into a million tears. Sometimes I try and act so strong and like I've got this whole IVF thing down pat. But I feel broken and so so sad. Thank you for thinking of me Kate, you're truly wonderful! Xx

    2. i'm sorry it made you cry :( but maybe it was a good thing to let it all out... of course it would be a tough day today - but your attitude in general is wonderful. but - as that blog post talked about - YOU ARE NOT ALONE... and I really pray you will be granted your heart's desire very very very soon x

    3. Don't be sorry. It was a relief to let it all out and really helped me to figure out what had been bugging me. Yes, I have to remind myself that I'm not alone and press into God a lot more when I am struggling! Thank you for your prayers dear Kate, I feel like your my virtual friend and really appreciate it! Xx
