Treatment – done!!!

Posted by: sarahlou73 on: December 19, 2009

Well what a rollercoaster of emotion this last few days have been!!  My stress levels have been up on the ceiling between one thing and another but I’m pleased to report that the hospital went really well. One of the things that stressed me was the weather forecast.  It said it was going to snow [...]

OMG!

The treatment is going ahead!!!!  Woo hoo!!!!!!  I guess I better rewind and tell you what happened! I didn’t have time to think about the scan much this morning as work was uber busy.  I almost forgot to leave for my appointment!  I wish I didn’t have to go to these things alone but it [...]

I’m having a bad day

Posted by: sarahlou73 on: December 15, 2009

And I feel bad for having a bad day!  I wasn’t even gonna write this entry but I need to get things off my chest.  Prepare yourself cuz this ain’t gonna be pretty!!  I just feel so miserable & scared.  That’s not right.  I should be so happy but there’s too much crap stuff going on.  Don’t you [...]

1st scan – done!

Posted by: sarahlou73 on: December 10, 2009

It went pretty well at the hospital today.  I couldn’t concentrate all day at work, it was a nightmare!  I so wish I’d had the morning appointment!  3pm couldn’t come around quick enough.  The scan itself was a bit uncomfortable this time cuz the nurse couldn’t find my ovaries!!  Ouchy!!  She found them eventually and [...]

It’s finally all systems go!!

Posted by: sarahlou73 on: December 8, 2009

I started one of the fertility drugs (Clomifene) yesterday.  I booked my day 5 scan as well.  I’m having it on Thursday at 3.30pm.  The nurse told me to take the drug I’ve got to inject with me (Menopur) and make sure I’m totally familiar with how to do it.  I best watch the DVD [...]

Phase 1 is nearly over!

Posted by: sarahlou73 on: November 30, 2009

So I finish my first lot of tablets tomorrow.  I thought that 10 days would really drag but surprisingly, it hasn’t.  I haven’t felt too bad really.  I’ve been really emotional and prone to mood swings but that’s about it.  Like I said, permanent PMT lol. I read up on the possible side effects of the next [...]

Hormone surges & counting points!

Posted by: sarahlou73 on: November 25, 2009

It’s day 4 of my tablets and so far so good.  If I ignore the fact that I have severe PMT symptoms that is!!!  OMG, I have NO patience and am so ratty today!!  I also feel really tired but this is nothing new for me so I’m not counting that as a side effect [...]

I’m on the threshold!!

Posted by: sarahlou73 on: November 20, 2009

So today I went to the hospital and picked up all my fertility drugs.  I have to start some tablets on Sunday to manipulate my cycle so I thought I best go pick them up!  When I got home I had to put one of them in the fridge.  I’m not even sure what it is!  [...]

Hang ups & hang overs!

Posted by: sarahlou73 on: November 15, 2009

So last night I went out and got drunk for what will hopefully be the last time for a while!  I had a good night until I had a huge confidence crisis.  I always feel crap about myself anyway but it’s always worse when I go out.  I use drink to give me confidence and [...]

My 2nd blog lol

Posted by: sarahlou73 on: November 13, 2009

So no-one has read my first blog but hey, I’m kinda OK with that.  I feel like this is just a diary now!!  I may send my link to some friends and try and make myself look more popular lol. I’ve re-read my 1st blog and it’s a bit of an epic isn’t it?!  Sorry [...]
