Good evening ladies,
I've taken some time away from the board, but it was not in a negative way; I was shopping around for our belated honeymoon! I found a fabulous package for 8 days in Egypt in a 5 stars hotel for only 1236 Euros (about 1900$CAN... that's for the two of us), all included! I'm very excited but I'll wait until we know if we have to do another procedure after this one (HOPE NOT) or not before we book anything... but that would be exciting (and
sassy, it's your fault! Those pics were too nice!)
So far, so good, my body did not totally freak out because of the double dose of Puregon (which was impressive to inject!); IBS is behaving (don't remember who asked, sorry, but IBS is for Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and the special diet seems to keep it so. My night was, again, very agitated; I woke up at 4am after having a very strange dream, once again... DH cuddled me at once and I fell asleep easily... but woke up again at 5:40am or so. Each time I woke up I felt that sharp pain on my right side... strangely enough, it disappeared when I got up, but I even had trouble turning in the bed. A mix of bloating and ovarian pain. Right now, left ovary is hurting and my prefrontal lobe too, just a dull pain that comes and goes.
And a nice twist to my day: I learned that TWO of my friends are pregnant! One is 12 weeks and an old friend from my ex-lab... and the other dances flamenco with me... 8 weeks. Both got pregnant naturally after trying for a couple of months only. *sigh* I was glad for them of course, and I showered them with congratulations... but I felt jealous, too. Bah, didn't ruin my day (my DH asking, "So what? You're not happy for them?" ruined a few minutes of my evening though! lol! they just don't get it sometimes) but I felt a little twinge in my heart all the same.
I'm sorry if I won't reply to everybody's news... there was so many that I can't take that time and just use it for posts when my DH hasn't spent time with me in the evening since Sunday.
Shantala: hey darling! You're so sweet to me! Thanks for your encouragements!
Jemima: Hello! *hugs* glad to see you post again! I missed you! Don't fret about the book, I'm sure the translation is good. I read the translation in French and let me tell you... it was pure literary enchantement. You asked what egg food I use: Puregon; now 200 units per day.
Becleo: hehehe... I'm sure hoping to see my ovaries suddenly turn into grapes indeed!
We'll see tomorrow but given what the nurse told me, I really didn't sent my expectations too high for tomorrow's scan.
Aunty: You're very brave to drive so many hours to your clinic! But those little bundles of joy are worth it, aren't they? Thanks for replying to my PMs; I'll reply soon. I'm very glad that you were given the ok to start the egg food! Your favourite part! Growing your future babies! I hope eveyrthing goes as smoothly as possible.
Haylie: What a shock, what a nasty shock! There is never a perfect time to tell such news to a spouse, but my, there are worse times than others! I find you very brave despite the turmoil of emotions that must be rushing through you... whatever decision you make, and it's not easy to make, you know you have our support. I hope your friends and family are giving you all the support you need, too! *HUGS*
Macca: it's great to have news! Hey! Perfect embies, that's amazing! Congratulations sweetie!
Nouna: I'm still alive, don't worry. It does look like we're in the same situation. Let's hang in there till the next scan!
Sassy How are you doing hun? I bet the waiting is more unnerving with each passing day... you know you are in my thoughts and I send tons of good waves your way and your babies' way! I'll be looking forward to have news about your ET and embies.
I'm deeply sorry if I forgot anyone... but I'm really fried, I must stop here. Take care ladies, and I'll see you around! My u/s is at 7:30am, so I'll give news whenever I am near a computer.
Lots of love,
Sophie
