“I am the one who knocks (up)”...hopefully.

[wemma83]

I’m on day 6 of Menopur and day two of Cetrotide and so far so good 😊 I’ve not really had many symptoms, a bit of a pulling feeling inside and a couple of waves of sickness but that’s about it. I did spend a day worrying that no symptoms must mean it’s not working but then I decided to count myself lucky and be grateful I wasn’t suffering with cramps or hot flushes (yet) and just keep my fingers crossed that there are lots of little eggs forming in there 😊

Like I said in my last post, the Menopur is quite straightforward once it’s been mixed as there’s enough to last a few days. The Cetrotide on the other hand is a bit of a pain in the bum. The woman on the tutorial video makes it looks way easier to draw it up into the syringe than it is in real life! I tried it yesterday but immediately got irritated and passed it onto my poor boyfriend to have responsibility for (to be honest I think he’s quite pleased that he’s got a role in all of it now so that’s nice 😊).

Cut to this morning with both of us bleary eyed, hair stuck up, hunched over our bedsides tables and drawing up a syringe apiece. It was like that scene from Breaking Bad with Jesse and Jane except thankfully (SPOILER ALERT!) Bryan Cranston didn’t come in and watch me choke on my own vomit 😕 We then tried for ages to make the famous “I am the one who knocks” quote relate to IVF (hence the long winded subject of this post) but it was too difficult so we settled for Trainspotting instead. “Choose IVF, choose ICSI, choose injecting yourself twice a day, having a scanner put up your chuff and inserting pessaries into your bum...” you get the picture 😉 xxx
