Hi Ladies
I am back from the hospital!!!
Aunty - thanks for the fab Haloween pictures - that so made me smile. Hope that everyone has their goodies to hand out this evening to the children
Haylie - glad that you got on well at the hospital and that you now have a plan for your FET that allows you to go on Florida hols first. You'll come back from the holiday and be so relaxed going into the cycle. And hopefully Xmas will prove to be a distraction for you so the time will pass quite quickly.
So I am a happy bunny as I have a pre-Xmas plan of attack. Consultant had said that we had to wait post-surgery until after Xmas when we last saw him back in August. Woke up in the night and could not really sleep as so stressed that he would not allow us to try pre-Xmas or that we did not have enough time for the protocol that we did 1st time around. But explained that I am on sabbatical from my v stressful job but not sure how much longer that this can go on (due to £) and really stressed the fact that I wanted to get on with it whilst I was not working as so much easier to manage appointments etc etc. Dh piled in and backed me up - think that he wants a quiet life & to shut me up!!!
AND GUESS WHAT MY CONSULTANT HAS AGREED!!!! I am so much happier now that I have a plan. Plus he is going to put me on the short antagonist protocol this time due to timings so don;t even have to be on 2ww over Xmas & no down regging which went on for 18 days last time for me. So if AF shows on the right day, I will be starting stimmies on 16th November. If all goes well then EC/ET should be right at the end of November. I simply cannot believe it - after all the waiting and the two operations this summer that it might be so close for me. Know that there are loads of hurdles to clear but somehow feel that I will be able to deal with this as never expected to get an attempt in now and also given that it will be 20 injections less than last time around and over 2 weeks shorter. He sent us straight to the nurse to book a planning appointment. She started saying that they were fully booked (which was one of my panics in the night) but my this stage I had my consultant on side so was not going to give an inch. She went to speak to one of the nurses and they added an extra appointment so will see me next Tuesday. So I am all set. Now all I need to do is change my ticker so can count down to starting again.
It is a challenging process but it is so exciting to know that you are starting it again & that this may just be our time.
Aunty - may be I could ask you to be a sweetheart and update the list and have me starting on November 16th if AF behaves!!!!
Becleo - hope that your appointment went well and that you have a plan. A hat trick of plans would be terrific
Hope that you are all doing well. Thanks to all of you for cheering me on - it so worked!!
Lots of Love
