There are many many reasons why this day is different in my life.
This day 12 years ago I made the huge (although at the time small) decision to end my own life. That Thursday came at the end of a hard time of not coping in which my inability to keep my head above [...]
IVF For the Uninitiated Part I
Posted in IVF, IVF for Dummies, infertility, medication on February 28, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I feel I should clarify something for the non IVF’ers.
Not all follicles contain eggs (which IVF3 thought me very well).
Not all eggs are mature
Not all eggs that are injected with a sperm (ICSI) will fertilise
Not all fertilised eggs will make it to day 5
So, while I had 16 follicles yesterday I would only expect 12 [...]

I should have posted this on Tuesday but I was more than a little distracted about the scan yesterday so I didn’t.

My mother has been visiting with us since Thursday. She had her hip replaced almost 5 weeks ago and she came to stay with us for a break from the monotony of being in her own house and it was well needed as she was stir crazy. She is not hard to mind [...]
My legs are knackered!

For some reason my legs are really tired tonight, like I was standing on them for a long time yesterday or today but I wasn’t. They also feel restless so I am putting it down to the steroids. I need to sleep tonight so they better not keep me awake!

There is another new entry immediately below this one but I wanted to keep them separate.
This morning, while lying in bed, I realised that D has a clenched jaw EVERY TIME he fights doing something, hits me, throws something etc. It was an eye opening realisation. So today we started “Gentle Face”. [...]
