One in the ute, five in the freezer

Friday, September 29th, 2006

It’s done. There is one very attractive four celled embryo within the confines of my uterus, and another five in the deep freeze.
Our doc says it was a beautiful cycle, and that all we need to do is cross our fingers that said embie is genetically OK. Then again, he could have just […]

Lucky eight

Thursday, September 28th, 2006

Had the call from the lab:
10 eggs were injected with mr hissychick’s sperm, and eight have fertilised. I can live with that.
Day two transfer booked for 10 to 10 tomorrow morning, and we’ll freeze what is left, depending on how the little critters go between now and then. Divide for your life little embies!
It’s […]

Legs eleven

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

Eleven eggs retrieved at this morning’s pickup.
It’s all quiet on the western front until tomorrow morning’s pick a number, any number of embies phone call. Hopefully mr hissychick’s sperm did their thing, after almost being scared out of making an appearance (note to nurses: do not knock on the door of a man who is […]

I’ve pulled the trigger

Monday, September 25th, 2006

At least ten nice big juicy follies were seen at this morning’s cooter cam extravaganza, so at 5:30 pm* this evening I had my trigger shot in preparation for egg pick up on Wednesday morning at 7 am.
Kapow.
* And I nearly didn’t make the deadline, no thanks to the joke that is Sydney traffic, followed […]

Hard boiled

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

Just did injection number six (150 IU) AND I can’t fit into my jeans thanks to my hugely bloated drug fuelled belly AND I am a moody cow from hell who couldn’t even be polite on the phone to an interstate hubs AND the poo monkey is now saying “I want”, for the love of […]

Stick it sister

Saturday, September 16th, 2006

It’s official: I survived my first attempt at putting a needle into my own flesh.
I was too much of a wuss to do the needle thing for the IVF cycle that (eventually) resulted in the poo monkey..and I will admit to being a huge sooky lala last night before I did the deed. […]

(Mood) swings and roundabouts

Wednesday, September 13th, 2006

Let’s see if I can organise my thoughts:
1.Cycle updateThere isn’t much of excitement to report, unless you like hearing about hot flushes in glorious detail. Which you aren’t getting. So nerr. Tomorrow is first bloods and learn how to be a junkie day. Hooray and stuff.
2. The poo monkeyGorgeous as ever…snotty as ever..and […]

It’s ok to spray

Wednesday, September 6th, 2006

I’d forgotten just how shite Syneral makes you feel as you commence down the road to the pseudopause. My mind is mushy and headachey, my nose is as irritated as a coke addict and my muscles feel like jelly.
Meh.
Thank whatever for the poo monkey, and her ability to point out and loudly declare “man […]
