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.

Getting somewhere!

Waiting, waiting, waiting....its all we ever seem to do!!!  However, finally we are starting to get somewhere...I have my written protocol and drugs prescription, woohooooo!!! :o)  I have still got to sort out going to get the drugs as I've got to go to Derby to get the prescription signed and get the drugs then I've got to go to Notts for the injection training!  I'm still about 6 weeks off starting the injections though but only 3 weeks until I will hopefully be on the cycle in which I will finally start my tx.  It seems like forever since we started this journey and I thought we'd never get started but having the protocol has made things seem a little more real.  I just cant wait to get the drugs so it sinks in even more! 

I had my 1st acupuncture session on Saturday too.  That was amazing.  I really didnt know what to expect but it was actually really really good.  I instantly clicked with my therapist, shes really lovely and we get on extremely well which I think is half the battle.  The treatment itself was fine, a little pain with some of the points but only for a second or two as the needle went in.  Susan explained everything brilliantly and really made me feel at ease and confident about the whole experience and its positive effects on my life as a whole as well as fertility.  I cant wait for my next session a week on Mon :o)

I have now given up alcohol completely and have cut back caffeine intake to an absolute minimum.  I have also read Zita Wests new book which is totally fab, extremely helpful and full of exellent tips and advice.  I will be starting to listen to my relaxation CD also at the beginning of my tx cycle.  All in all, I think I am doing pretty much everything I can do to maximise our chances of success!
