4dp2dt - 29th January 2012

Well I am 4dp2dt, I am so wanting to test. I am putting my progesterone out on the bathroom side in 2 days worth so I feel like I am getting to the end all the time, willing time along. Today I got out today's and tomorrow's which is the end of my 1st pack... One more pack to go which means I am half way there !!!

Its 11am and I am just chilling in bed with the tv on. I have had achy and slight on and off cramps yesterday and slight ache today. I am praying this is implantation? But who knows eh. Feels like the day before my period. But not had the twinges before. I have been googling today, and read nothing but positive outcomes. Everyone's symptoms are different, I so wish our toe nails turned pink when you were pregnant or something to make this journey easier....

I am going up to see my horse today which I am looking forward to. Being in the fresh air and smell of horses !! Don't think Andy will be pleased as he has got to come and help me :-) I am taking NO chances on messing this up.

Another long week ahead of me now. Monday and Wednesday I have dogs to groom and Tuesday I have acupuncture so I am hoping it goes a little quicker than last. I intend to rest up again this week. But will be looking on the net for jobs as I need to go back to work now I can't work with horses.

I am so nervous about testing, I just don't think I can take the bad news and have to wait another 6 months for our 3rd and final try.

Inside I secretly feel positive... And I have a test in the draw I have just remembered. I so want to take it. But it will just be a waste as I am only 7dpo, and will probably show a negative as my levels wouldn't of risen yet.


Oh god damn this wait......

Egg Transfer Day 25th January 2012

Woohoo our embie has made it to transfer day !!!!

So I don't empty my bladder and am busting for 2 hours. I get into the gown and settles on the bed only for them to tell me they want an empty bladder..it was heaven. So back on the bed ready for transfer.

The embryologist told us it was a top grade 4 cell which we were over the moon at. Our last attempt was a 2//3 grade with lots of fragmentation. I was given a scan to see where my womb was lying and then feet up in the stirrups and it was time. We see our embryo on the screen as they prove it is there and gets sucked into the pipet. The consultant took a while getting it put in the right place, a little uncomfortable but rather he take his time. Then they showed us that the pipet was empty. And that was that, I am PUPO....

We got given a picture after and it is a much better egg than our last try so we have everything going for us to make this work.

I came home grabbing a maccy d's on the way and layed and listened to Zita West post transfer track. I took it easy for the rest of the day and again the next day. Only having an acupuncture session.

I plan to do not a lot but just enough to stop me tempting to test.

FINGERS CROSSED

Results Day 24th January 2012

Got that dreaded call from the embryologist this morning at 8.30am.

They could only inject 1 egg BUT it has fertilised !!!! Soooooooooooo happy.

I have spent all day in bed and booked my acupuncture for Thursday to help keep the little one put. Also been listening to Zita West pre transfer cd.

Back to clinic tomorrow for a 2 day transfer. 2pm Wednesday 25th January 2012

Egg Collection Day 23rd January 2012

It is now 9.36pm Monday night after EC.

Trip up to clinic went well. Got there nice and early. Got settled into our bay, got the gorgeous gown on and got in bed. Andy did his sample and we sat and waited. Got taken down about 10.35am. All drama less. I came around about 11.15am.  Had my cuppa and some chocolate cookies.

Then Michael and the embryologist came round... It didn't sound good. I was told I have 2, maybe 3 eggs. Michael asked if I had endo?!?!?! As a chocolate liquid came out ?!?!?! However he didn't seem at all phased or at all helpful come to that. Basically left us with, if your eggs are no good, we will call you later today after they have been prepared. If they are ok and can be injected, we will call tomorrow with a fertilisation report.

SO, as it stands, I don't know if I have 1,2 or 3 eggs ?!?! It is a horrible wait. No call this afternoon so I am guessing at least one could be injected.  Now I am dreading the call tomorrow morning in case none have fertilised.

I am in quite a bit of pain in my abdomen area. More than I can remember last time. Just hope it eases off tomorrow.

Praying for a good phone call tomorrow xxxxxxxxxx

Day before Egg Retrieval 22nd January 2012

Eeekkk so excited but so scared.

I have had a visit to my acupuncturist this morning and spent the afternoon with my horse. Rode over to Hockley Woods and met the hubby and dog there. It was lovely and Millie (The horse) was VERY well behaved.

Feeling heavy around my overies so I am hoping they are just getting ready for the morning.

Going to have a nice bath and a yummy roast dinner. Nothing for me from midnight except water until 5am so going to stuff my face :-)

Nice early night but I bet I can't sleep .....
