Never rely on a dragonfly

November 24, 2011 By Tracey Leave a Comment

Okay, this is not going to be pretty so brace yourself. Last Saturday night (less than one week to go before finding out if this last cycle would be the one) I dreamt about a dragonfly.  I don’t remember the specifics of the dream but I remember the absolute exact image of the dragonfly.  I…

Yawning and huffing

November 19, 2011 By Tracey Leave a Comment

It’s 4.30pm in the afternoon and the fact that I’m still in my pj’s is indicative of how I’m feeling.  It’s been hormone city this week, those progesterone pessaries really do pack a punch. I’ve struggled to write this week because the idea of blogging is to explain how I’m feeling and what I’m experiencing…

Hard to explain the two week wait

November 14, 2011 By Tracey Leave a Comment

So far the two week wait is going swimmingly.  It’s too early for me to go a bit nutty, this time next week I suspect the emotions will be a tad more erratic.  I have however been quite irritable and I’m not entirely sure why?  I don’t recall it being a symptom of the progesterone pessaries…

The last transfer I had was a bit complicated, some little hiccup with my cervix meant that I had to have a general anaesthetic for what should be a 1 minute procedure.  To avoid this happening for this transfer, when I had egg pick up a few days ago Dr M put a little probe…

The rollercoaster ride takes off

November 8, 2011 By Tracey Leave a Comment

The thing about roller coaster rides is that when you are on the ride you can see what’s coming.  You can see when you are approaching a steep climb and you know when you are about to go for a nose dive.  IVF has been described as a roller coaster ride, only you can’t see…

Smiling for egg pick up

November 2, 2011 By Tracey Leave a Comment

Final scan today before egg pick up on Monday.  Apparently Marilyn is still smiling  at me.  I’ve started on the blocker injections (technical term – orgalutran) and holy shit they hurt.  Timing is everything with these suckers.  Have to be on the dot 3 nights in a row.  Out for dinner tonight which means packing…
