About Me

I'm 33 and have been married since 2004. We were TTC for over 10 years and went through fertility treatment over 5 years. Unfortunately, I have endometriosis and adenomyosis but these havent been proven to be a cause to our infertility, we are in that huge black hole of 'unexplained'. In 2017, we decided on plan B and moved to Cornwall.

Hating the Waiting!

AF finally turned up but they cant fit me in for my antral follice count until CD21 :o(  Its supposed to be done in the 1st half of the cycle so I'm really not sure if this will be any use but they have told me to go anyway just in case.  I'm just really hoping it is ok as I really cant stand the waiting.  I just want to get on with it all now.  I want to get on with our treatment and get the amazing, life changing result that we are hoping for.

Frustrations

Why the hell is it that just because you want the evil witch to turn up, she bl**dy wont!?  CD30 and still no signs whatsoever!  I've been waiting and hoping for her to turn up so that I can book my antral follicle scan but so far, nothing?!  Its not unusual for me to go to CD35 but as my hopes most certainly arent up, I really thought she wouldnt play these silly games this time.  My dh's latest sa came back really negative so I have pretty much given up all hope of any chance of a natural pregnancy, although this is the only bad sa result we have had, so I'm really not sure why we had such a bad result???

Anyways, I just wish the evil one would turn up so I can get my scan booked and get my written protocol and drugs ready to start next cycle!

And so it begins...

...our ICSI journey.

After 5yrs of TTC (with 1 yr break due to adenomyosis treatment) we are about to embark on our final leg of the journey.  We have had 3 failed IUI attempts and are now due to start ICSI in June/July.  We only get 1 attempt on NHS (+ any frozen embies) and after that its all over as I will never get pg naturally.  We havent got our written protocol yet as I've got to have my antral follicle scan in a few weeks to determine dosages etc.  Then I start the pill for 3 weeks to regulate things and its onto Buserelin for down-regs and Menopur for stimms.  I'm used to doing the pregnyl injection from the IUI's but these injections I am really NOT looking forward to :o(  I am sure all will be ok though and if we get that fabulous outcome, then it will all become a distant memory.

So, here it is, the start of my final journey for a baby.  Hoping and praying it will lead to my family being complete. xx
