A little update...feeling excited

So after years of jumping through hoops we are finally starting the first IVF cycle. We have the appointment for the extraction on thursday morning.

I know it's silly but I am just happy and I have hope that it will happen soon....I know I need to be realistic as this could be a long ride but it has taken so long to be here ....that I look at the injections with excitement.

Anyway I just wanted to share with you my excitement and positivity, I've always believe that this is going to happen to all of us.

Thank you ..... I had times when I wasn't so positive and reading messages here help me, that's why I decided to share how I was feeling. Hopefully it will help someone ๐Ÿ˜€

Good for you!! I think it really does feel better to finally get going, even if it means doing injections and being sedated for egg retrievals. Best of luck on Thursday morning. Let us know how it goes. ๐Ÿงก

Thank you!! My husband was asking me if I was worried about the sedation and egg retrieval...and the answer was so easy...no!! I am worried about the next phases...the transfer, the waiting,the weeks after while I am crossing my fingers hoping that everything goes well.

Good luck for tomorrow! I have mine on Friday. It is my 2nd egg collection...I would say make your bedroom nice and cosy as I was super tired after and get some nice snacks in. xx

That's rubbish you have to go back to work. If you are having a full on GA then its likely!

I wasn't worried about being sedated but... and I'm only telling you this to give you a laugh before you go under... I had a nervous tummy and I was SO SCARED I was going to fart when they knocked me out.

I have to confess I am zero worried about the sedation...I didn't think about the possibility of farting but if that happens and I find out about it, my husband will be taking the piss out of me forever.

If it happens it happens ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

Saying that I am not nervous about it might change when I am there....which I can see it happening.

Haha. You're right: if it happens it happens. I think I was just generally nervous and this wave of panic came over me just before I was knocked out. ๐Ÿ˜…

Yay!! I was so worried to start the injections and once weโ€™d done a couple I really looked forward to them because I was so proud of myself for being able to deal with it!Funny what emotions it throws up!

Fingers crossed for you xx

I have to confess that it was my husband in charge of the injections I am terrible with those things, but I think that he liked to be part of the process.

Although I was having to pay the nurse service with a tea๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

So strange how different everyone is my partner can't be in the same room as the needles and injections!
