Moving ahead

We had the appointment today at the clinic. I came home with a kit full of needles, syringes and drugs and a head full of instructions about how to administer them and when. It all begins at the start of my next cycle which will be around 6th January. Then we will begin a process of injections, followed by a scan, and if all is looking good and ready we then do the insemination and more injections until test day. It's quite a bit to take on board... On the plus side, apparently the drugs that I'll be injecting are unlikely to produce any unpleasant side effects which is a relief. So, now time to really enjoy Christmas before we begin round one!

Boooooo!

It was PMT. Pretty bummed about that.
We have our appointment with the clinic on the 20th December. Time to learn how to inject myself.
Oh joy.

Wishful thinking?

I've been for three acupunture sessions now. There have been no promises from the therapist, only that it will probably help me to relax. I've been really hoping that as the timing is better with me being more relaxed that we might get lucky. My breasts have been sore for the last week which seems way too early for PMT. I had a little bit of spotting last night. Is this my period coming early? Or early pregnancy symptoms? It really doesn't help that the signs are the same!
I think, rather negatively, that I already know the answer.
We're still waiting for an oppointment for our IUI planning meeting at the clinic, so that's likely to start in the New Year. I also plan to get some temp work after Christmas. So, here's to enjoying a 9to5-free, fertility-treatment free December!
