Operation pin cushion: day 8

I'm at my other brothers for the weekend. Wee Man has been having lots of fun playing with his cousins. They have a vast collection of Thomas toys so he's in his element.

Had another scan today - eggs are growing well. 7 on the left, and 10 or so on the right, with a few other small ones. Largest few are 18mm so all is looking good.

No change to today's drugs:
112.5ui Gonal F
150ui Merional
Dexamethazone
Doxycycline

Operation pin cushion: day 7

Had a busy day at the hospital - blood test then lots of waiting around to see the anaesthetist to make sure they are happy with which drugs they can and can't use on me.

Wee Man has been very sweet and thoroughly enjoyed played with his uncle and auntie. He only had a 10 minute nap in the afternoon so he was very cuddly which was lovely.

A new drug has been added to the cocktail - an antibiotic:
112.5ui Gonal F
150ui Merional
Growth hormone
Dexamethazone
Doxycycline

Boobies!

My brother in law spent a fair while last night making sure Wee Man could say "boobies" clearly. He would have cried with laughter this morning when Wee Man pulled down my top and shouted boobies on the packed commuter train. Cheeky chap!

Operation pin cushion: day 6

I had my first scan today to check on egg growth. There were 6 on the left side and around 12 on the right. There were a few big ones but most were around 8mm. I've just checked where things were this time last cycle - I had 5/6 on each side around 8mm, so we're doing just fine.

Today's drugs have changed a little - my Merional has been increased:
150ui Gonal F
150ui Merional
Dexamethazone

Playing in the park

Operation pin cushion: day 5

I left Wee Man with my sister while I went for my blood test. I think they had fun - he was saying "happy" when I got back and very cuddly with his auntie Sarah. I was back just in time for his nap so we had a lovely snooze together.

No change to today's drugs:
150ui Gonal F
75ui Merional
Growth hormone
Dexamethazone

Operation pin cushion: day 4

I had to go into London for a blood test this morning. It was Wee Man's first trip in a train and he was rather fascinated by it all - he enjoyed looking out the window and eating his picnic (thanks auntie Sarah). I was helped with the pushchair on and off the trains/tube by a wide assortment of people - there was always someone offering a hand.

Got the call about what drugs to take today - no change:
150ui Gonal F
75ui Merional
Dexamethazone
