The wait begins again

The treatment went OK this month. Although I felt horrible on the Buserelin. Oh and the Pregnyl made me feel like crap too! I was really irritable, everyone was getting on my nerves. I've been very tired and had diarrhea. Great. I just did the final shot of Pregnyl yesterday and I'm waiting for the side effects to pass. Initially, after the IUI I was feeling positive about this try. Now, I'm scared to think that it might have worked. The disappointment when it doesn't work is crushing. I'm already Googling the early signs of pregnancy every other day to check if I have any! Crazy. And not healthy. We can do a test on 10th June...

Round 3

I got my period on Saturday and picked up my drugs on Monday. So we're now on Day 3 of my third round of IUI. My daily dose of Puregon has been boosted from 100iu to 150iu as I didn't respond that well last time. My scan is booked for Monday. I'm not sure if I feel hopeful or not... I definitely feel cloudy headed, bloated and tired already!

Back again...

I've been gone for a while and it's not because I've been keeping schtum about being pregnant! My period was very late but it arrived. I've been busy with the new job and getting worried about having to break the news of my fertility treatment to my new boss. I work in a small office so I can't just slip out to the hospital when I need to unnoticed. I work with three other women (all around my age) and so I've been hoping that they would be understanding. But you never know do you. I mean they've just recruited me and there I am announcing that I've trying to get pregnant and that I need time off to go to the hospital! I spoke to my boss about it today and she was great. "You're really valuable to us already and we will support you however we can". Very sweet. And what a relief. My period was really late last month so I'm not sure when it's going to kick in next. I'm 28 days today so I'm hoping it kicks in soon. I'm ready to get cracking again now.
