Hi Everyone,
I am just on my way home from an appointment with my consultant as I am starting my ivf injections this evening (Gonal-f).
I felt so anxious this morning at work in anticipation of the appointment and then a pregnant colleague came into our office and started talking about her baby. I have been so strong so far but it made me feel so overwhelmed. I had to leave the room and have a cry in the toilets. My manager realised I was upset and is being so supportive. We agreed that I would go home after the appointment rather than going back to the office. I work in HR and I just feel too emotional to face people today.
Anyway, the appointment was fine and I feel a bit more relaxed now. The internal scan was really uncomfortable but he saw some follicles which is a good sign as I have low egg reserve. I have another appointment on Monday next week to check progress and start taking cetrotide.
Is there anyone else starting their injections this week? How are you coping with the emotional side? I have been so strong so far but I am struggling today!
