5 days into Gonal and Buserelin

Yesterday I felt like myself. I slept in late but other than that, I felt more normal. I struggled to get to sleep but slept through and couldn’t get my head off the pillow this morning. I didn’t have so much as a headache but just felt weak. Not been out my pjs all day and done very little. I’m back in work tomorrow , I’m thankful that starting Gonal was during my half term but dreading the side effects at work.

My best friends are meeting up after work tomorrow, one has a baby, I’ve not met the little one yet but I just don’t think mentally or physically I can go. I said to my husband that I’m going through all this and to sit and have to be happy for my friend to make her feel better isn’t something at the top of my priority list. Sounds awful but I just don’t care. I just care about getting through each day until we find out if our first cycle has worked. That means being away from family and friends that make me feel uneasy!

The Gonal injection actually hurt tonight so I am not looking forward to tomorrow’s!

If I wake up tomorrow feeling rotten then I will ring I sick and explain why. If the symptoms persist then I won’t hesitate getting a note but that’s a last resort as I really want to carry on as normal.

Hi lovely! Hope tomorrow is okay and work isn't too arduous or that you don't feel guilty about staying at home if you are unwell. If you don't want to hang out with friends with a baby, that's completely understandable. I am avoiding a similar situation next weekend - our whole group is going to meet up with one that is heavily pregnant. Not going to that, that's for sure! Lots of love. xxx

Thank you hun. I will just have to see how I wake up.

I don’t blame you hun. All the fuss that goes with a pregnant friend is the worst!

I’ve seen a photo on social media today of my sister in law. She looked plumpy round the belly. That will be baby number 2 if my eyes are telling me right 🤦🏻‍♀️

Definitely.

Oh.... good for your sister-in-law if she is pregnant. Yay.....? I've got plumpy round the belly, but unfortunately it's not a baby. 😁

It’s more like a sarcastic “Good for you” 😂 Yes my belly is swollen from these meds z

Hey there , ouch I feel your soon the final f one stings the second day I was so weepy I actually cried and felt very sorry for myself , so know where you’re coming through and it’s fine to concentrate on just you for now. We were like you 1 day at a time but it’s a rollercoaster with all those hormones, fingers crossed you’re feeling better today xx
