Second Date.........

Well, its exactly seven and a half hours until my first injections!! Whhooooooo whooooo!

I didn't get round to updating after my appointment yesterday because I felt really ill. Ironically, it felt like I had morning sickness, I felt really nauseous, but not actually sick, I slept most of the day, I woke up at about 7pm for a small dinner, then back to sleep, watched the Pride of Britain Awards and then back to bed and slept like a baby until 11am today.
I think its a combination of things, the clocks changing on Saturday night always messes me up and makes me ill, I had a grand total of 4 hours sleep on Monday night and then I think it was a bit of an adrenaline dump after leaving the clinic yesterday.

So what happened at the clinic??
We got there to find another couple waiting there, and they had bought their year old daughter with them, who was being a complete nightmare. So I sat there giving her daggers (the mum, not the baby) until she made the little one sit and read a book quietly! This is really annoying, on EVERY letter we receive from the clinic, we are told that under no circumstances are we to bring children with us.
I would love to bring Charlie so he could be a part of this whole process (weird for some maybe, but I'd love him to be there) and being an almost teenager, I'm sure it would be very different to seeing a year old child, but I respect the rules and wouldn't even dream of asking them if Charlie could come!

Anyway, we are called in for our scan, and we have a trainee sonographer with us as well, they did my scan and I was told my ovaries are 'perfect' and I have down regulated 'extremely well'
Then the trainee asked if she could use me as a guinea pig, she wasn't very gentle and was definitely new to all this, but they have to learn somewhere. I did wonder if it's just us NHS patients that are asked, as no one else seemed to be asked if she could go in with them.
I didn't need B/W as they could tell that I had perfectly and extremely well down regulated by my scan, so we are ready for injections tomorrow.

We had a lesson on how to do the injections, obviously the nurse didn't know about my history and when I went to pick the vial and needle up one handed I was told off!!

So we are good to start the injections tonight at 9pm, and I will be doing it at the same time I take my nasal spray, which is now reduced to one spray twice a day instead of two sprays twice a day.

My next appointment is Friday 9th November to check my follicles and hopefully, I will have ER around the 12th November.

For my girls who like photos of my dates! I look bloody awful because the bed was layed right back! I don't normally have a double chin, honest!!

Hopefully, I will be able to get Bongo to video me doing my first injection tonight and I will upload that for you all to see!
