Yesterday I had one of the best scan’s I have ever had. It was a day 6 scan, to monitor when to start my Orgalutran (the medication that stops me ovulating all my beautiful eggs before the doctors can get to them). I’ve only had a day 6 scan once before and it was not... Continue Reading →
I know, I’m super neglectful of my blog. My life was a little hectic in 2020. My job was full on as it has been focused on the pandemic, and it involves a lot of writing so the last thing I wanted to do at the end of the day was write. Also, I didn’t... Continue Reading →
So, you have all your supplements down pat (you really should start these 3 months before you start IVF so quick get onto it if you haven’t), your doctor has got your meds tweaked just right for you, the nurse has gone through with you how to give your injections, you’ve purchased a cute little...

As if IVF isn’t stressful enough, try doing IVF during a global pandemic! Honestly, I just haven’t had time to write anything resembling a diary for this round, but I thought I’d try and capture some thoughts. COVID-19 I knew last weekend that COVID-19 was closing in on us. I was desperate to get to... Continue Reading →
Friday, February 7th 2020 Was awake from 4am again, obviously stressing, I think. I have such high hopes. I just keep picturing myself at each point and I’m the exception! Which I know is unlikely, but what if I am? What if I get 15 eggs from this cycle and say 10 fertilise and then... Continue Reading →
Wednesday, February 5th 2020 I’ve been awake since 4am! Grrrr! WHY?? I mean technically I got 7 hours sleep which wasn’t bad but struggle street again! Luckily, I’m working from home. Which I did from bed most of the day. Acupuncture was good, I dozed off for a few minutes and it was incredible how... Continue Reading →
Friday, January 31st 2020 Doing better than yesterday. Still a bit emotional but nowhere near the level it was yesterday. Otherwise feeling good. Saturday, February 1st 2020 It's a little cruel to be up so early on a weekend. Because I leave my house by 7am and give myself my injection before I leave, I... Continue Reading →
Sunday, January 26th 2020 Today I spent some time with family from interstate and it gave me some energy. Making myself get out for a reason other than work was good for me. I’ve definitely gotten into the swing of my injections. Dart it in quick! It really is the best way. I bought the... Continue Reading →
Wednesday, January 22nd 2020- Day 2 Decapeptyl For the first time in weeks I had a bad night’s sleep, waking several times. I’ve woken with a headache, but I’m ok. I pushed through with no Panadol. My second Decapeptyl isn’t much better than the first, still hurts. Still have pretty instant wooziness and fatigue after... Continue Reading →
Monday, January 20th 2020 Today is day 21 of my cycle. So, I’m off to the fertility clinic to have my bloods check to make sure I’ve ovulated and collect all of my medications to start my IVF round. After everything I’ve been through to get here, I thought I’d feel more nervous but, I... Continue Reading →
