One day at a time!

One of my colleagues rang me this morning to discuss a mutual patient. Her mind was clearly on something else as we never really got to the point of the call…

After a while, she stopped mid flow and said ‘did I tell you that I’m expecting’? It took me a moment to process… ‘A baby’? I asked.

Turns out that she is pregnant with identical twins. This was a complete shock to her as she already had two children and wasn’t planning to have anymore at 43.

I, of course, offered my congratulations and she told me about her reaction when she found out. She also stated that she couldn’t really afford it and joked that she would have to keep their hospital tags on so she wouldn’t mix them up.

I have thought about our conversation most of today. I am very excited for her but again it has pushed my mind back to my own fertility. It really seems to dominate my life.

I have a hospital appointment next week but I’m not really sure what it’s for… I think it’s probably to start analogue injections prior to my surgery date in October. The doctor told me on the phone that I would need to attend the hospital in July for this - but then I received a surprise appointment for April also…

Anyways, I’m babbling… Happy Tuesday all x
