(Backup) Building up to it!

This week as A wanton distraction We has a comedy night out to see The Horne Section, and we laughed ourselves silly and there were potatoes involved....yeah weird! We have been spending a lot of time talking about the needles and not pushing pressure on each other and I have been trying not to cry -I do that a lot! We have been spending time with our friends having a good time at a couple of parties, We are off to Seacroft today for a -pre-stimulation scan to hopefully start the injections and that is what we have been building up to, I hate needles, And James is going to super brave and do them for me. 

We are also going to a new patient evening to learn all about the procedure and join a Fertility group, see all fingers crossed and I will update you soon

Scan Time

Today was a weird day , off to Seacroft again for a scan to check the follicles and see the lovely nurse, I was so excited and also so nervous to learn how to do the injections, my lovely dad went with me in the car and I felt a bit odd going through all those corridors, and feel unsure and trying to how empathy for all the other couples going through the same ordeal/journey as we are. The sonographer was lovely too, and said they seen a big cyst and that they want to monitor this, but that shouldn’t delay the treatment, so a couple of quiet weeks and back again early October, which is close too, eek! We have been invited to a new patients night to meet other couples and talk about all the details, hopefully that James won’t be too squeamish. After the appointment I seemed to be down as though it didn’t go well, I think that emotions are high, I was shown how to do the injection so it seems to be progressing in the right direction

I have had lots of messages , so many kind chats in person and on Facebook, Thank you everyone, It means a lot to us!

All the emotions

This week, I have thinking a lot about starting the treatment, and so my emotions are all over the place, I have been speaking to my best friends for support and James has been giving me extra cuddles, and lots of support, it is really nervwreaking to go through this, and not everyone understands, but with the blog people’s opinions and ideas should open up more, As I have have said before it is so frustrating and upsetting not to able to do something fundamentally as a woman. Lots of women struggle and don’t want to talk about it, but I hope this blog will help people to talk about it, so I have laughed and cried a lot this week, nd I am trying to come to terms with the planning and the taking of the injections to come, I’m more nervous to put them in the wrong place and do the wrong dose or something stupid, I think I would like people to speak to me about it but try and be patient and show empathy at the sane time, but I also don’t want my friends or colleagues or parents at nursery not to tell me their special news when it happens, I’m not totally pathetic and can be strong when one of them has a new pregnancy announcement, and be stupidly happy for them! I love babies and that why I do the job I do! Anyhoo, all the emotions, so be kind to each other as you don’t know who is struggling to conceive. But we all don’t don’t need to hide it either, let’s break down those barriers Peeps! 

Peace out

Tuesday Visit and the Journey begins

Firstly I would like to say that I love that some of my nearest and dearest are reading this blog, I know that the punctuation sucks, but I just type how I think and speak, so if you know me in real life it will make sense, today we went back to clinic for our nurse consult and to finish filling the forms...there are a lot of them, it’s a big and expensive procedure and they obviously have to give the treatment to the correct people , I asked several silly questions -well not to me and had a blood test ...did I mention I hate needles, my arm is still hurting as I type...I’m such a fucking wuss! They are all so nice at Seacroft and we are well on our journey. I’m off back in the next couple of weeks then the dreaded injections....hope James is gentle , Big thanks to Rachel for listening to me and for my messages of support, would love to her other people IVF stories....
