near the end of IVF round 1...
I was scared to do it! Had my name not come up on the waiting list for <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">ivf</a> I would never have gone for it willingly due to my fear of needles!
My fear of needles is ridiculous. In beyond terrified... and <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">ivf</a> is all about needles and lots of them.
However I feel whatever God throws at u, he also gives you the strength to deal with it
Ive been surprisingly strong and upbeat about it. My hubby injected my every night, and it really wasn't as bad as I had feared. Some nights I even enjoyed it! Enjoyed the feeling of achieving something... of overcoming my fears... taking it day by day, counting the injection boxes slowly disappear... it's been amazing so far.
The blood tests to check my hormone levels petrified me and I had music, a comforting friend who would massage my head and back to distract me while it happened, and lots of courage to get through it. The main thing was, I did it and I used all the means I had available to me to make it as easy as possible for me to get through.
Now I'm near the end....
last scan tomorow and follicle check, my date for egg retreival will either be Wednesday or Friday!
to be honest, I'm starting to feel uncomfortable in the mid section. The injections have started to bleed a lot and sting, as if my tummy can't take it anymore and I feel heavy. As if my ovaries are bursting. I'm not complaining... I think last scan they said I had 10 follies over 15mm in right ovary and 7 in left. It's a good number.
I just hope the quality is there ( as I'm 38!!!!) but I'll be happy to have them out.
just a few more scary things... tomorrows last blood test ( and tonight's jabs) trigger shot and general anesthetic jab... God and all the angels be with me.... and all you girls... xxxx
