Honey i'm home

Home with 2 priceless little embies, which we didnt declare at customs

Well where do i start, this is going to be a long one.
First thanks for thinking of me and keeping me going, your support is fab.

So the night before we left for Big B, we had a major panic, i thought i forgot to take my medi, ran upstairs, took it then dh pointed out i was meant to start it the next day---------complete panic. We called IM and eventually after a few calls the Dr rang and assured us it was ok although if we had a problem with our main donor then the backup one couldnt be used as i had already started the medi. Tears, tantrums and major worry the whole night. The Dr tried to assure us and said the eggs look great but wouldnt give more info and said she would call us with embie info when we were on the plane and leave a message---was scared stiff.

Flights - Flight over, was delayed for nearly an hour and last night we were delayed for 2, then when we boarded there was no air-con and it was so uncomfortable. I had to take my medi at midnight and what time were we due to land---yep, midnight. When i was asleep, dh spoke to the steward and they put us in seats right at the front of the plane, then when we had landed and the aircraft was taxing to the platform, she allowed me to go into the loo. So glad we got this as my medi would have been about an hour late.
When we arrived in Barcelona, true to her word the Dr had left a message saying everything was fine and we had 6 embies---i cant begin to tell you how relieved we were
Hotel - Well the one we wanted was fully booked so we went to another one. It was ok and clean but not to my standards (or i'm sure Carolyn's lol) and the lift shook everytime we were in it plus it was a bit smelly. Then they told us it is a holiday in Barcelona in August and everyone goes away so there was no resturant for us to use after ET. IF there is a next time, we will book somewhere else.

ET day - I first went to have my acu with the lovely Valerie who is over there. She is slim, tiny and pretty with an American accent as she trained there and has lovely lips like Angelina Jolie-----------then i had to get my belly out in front of her The acu helped and really relaxed me---Carolyn all is forgiven for being so bossy, you were right
We then went to talk to our Dr (Dr Guix), she bounced in the room and announced she had great news, "the best of the day" and told us we got 10 eggs, 6 are excellent so 4 will be frozen and 2 put back at ET. Both me and dh were shocked as we have never had frosties and later when it hit me, i was just so chuffed as we can have 2 more turns

We were due to have ET at 1 but didnt get it until about 2. We were quite reaxed though even after visited the loo about 10 times, i never know how much fluid to drink.
Then i nearly collapsed when i saw the Dr-----wow he was gorgeous (check him out on the IM website--Dr Luis Zamora) and believe me, he looks better in the flesh, with gorgeous eyes. I was dreading getting my kit of infront of him We saw our 2 embies up on the tv screen and then came the drama. He put the bloody horrid spectrum thing in but kept moving it about-------oh my god, the pain. He had to do a mock transfer first then the proper one to get it right. I kept asking if there was anything wrong but he kept saying it was fine and he wanted everything perfect. I have never had other Dr have a problem getting to the uterus and i even felt the cathiter Eventually it was fine and we saw the embies inside. The Dr kept shaking our hand and reassuring us everthing was ok then said he wants to see the baby when it arrives I just felt a little anxious that this traumatic event will affect the embies---they didnt seem bothered by it though. I suppose what reassued us was they wouldnt do the ET until i was ok and the cathiter was all set up properly.
Then i went back for another relaxing acu treatment with Valerie then back to the hotel for a rest. The weather was hot but dull so i didnt mind lying in my bed and i fell asleep until 7pm just not like me to do that, it must have been all the tauma and excitement of the day.

So now today we are just lazing around and keeping my belly warm and praying that this will be OUR time and we can have some luck for a change and get a BFP

Love to you all and thanks for thinking about me

Knew i would forget something

For the IM girls. They give you more medi, 5 packs of pessaries and 2 of patches for after ET.
They didnt give me info about the lining, which i wanted or about my embie quality, they said i will recieve an email with all the embie details from the lab. Hoping i get his tomorrow or i will have to hassle them again

Thanks again for all your wishes and lovely pics (that i still cant do)

Rebecca - Good luck for the test, bring on the bfp chant

Love Jen x

Hi

So ET is over and done with and the waiting is her again but i feel more ralaxed this time-------- so far.
It helps i know a little about the donor and now i have my embies back i just want to be pregnant, doesn't seem to bother me about donor eggs, they belong to me and dh. As far as he is concerned i will be the mum. Whether i feel like this if i had the baby, i dont know but just now i am just so happy they are home with us and it feels right, just like the last cycles with my own eggs. I reckon if the donor doesnt see the eggs as babies and she is just giving a help with her eggs as she doesnt need them yet well i should feel the same. She isnt looking at it like she has lots of children in the world, its only an egg to her. Yes, i still feel i want it to be like me but thats only in looks, it will be like me in character as i am bringing it up. Does that make sense? Do looks really matter? As long as they are loving, caring and happy people then that will make me happy. Anyway i have a stunner of a donor so i dont need to worry lol

I will try to catch up with everyone else over the next few days. Called my boss and have taken 3 days sick so am now off until the 3rd----Carolyn bullied me again who am i to argue------she's scary so i'm doing as i'm told

Love Jen x

carolyn and GILL- good on you both with the mega signs x x x made me laufgh you both trying to outdo each other x x x

Kim Bigj Poochie Kelly Anna Sonia and Vicki ( and anyone i have left out sorry) how are you girls ????? much love x x

As fo me we enjoyed a great bank Hols weekend meeting up with the folks in a site at Inverhavon ( near Laggan) the weather has been so good and we had BBQ's long walks with the dogs and good chats. (My dad ain't been too great recently with health problems so it was good to catch up) I slept a lot as the antibiotics are really strong and knocking the stuffing out of me. But we had such a chilling holiday that i feel better. MS is doing better ( just tired) and I have had AF arriving with avengance . So tired by heavy flow too! I managed to stay off the booze as the anibiotics are so strong that i would feel sick if i drank. On a good note ...I HAVE STARTED TMT...as AF came Friday i started BC pills and will take them until IM say so. (usually until the donor is due her AF and starts stimming then i will go onto eostrogen (E2) patches ) As fpor the rest of the week...i have acu tomorrow then just going to chill out as mcuh as i can in between working with clients for the rest of the week. We have good friends coming up for DH's Birthday on Thursday that are staying until sunday. But they are easy to look after and enjoy having them to stay as they are no trouble. If i am tired they also don't take offence if i go to bed early. We are due to go out for a meal thurs and cinema friday. and probably just drink, talk and eat all the rest of the time

off now to do washing and get dinner ready...much love to all you eggheads
