My 2nd journey through IVF. Tomorrow is the day that our embryo will be transferred. He or she will be taken out of the freezer and (hopefully) will continue on their journey to becoming a beautiful baby. The actual transfer is easy, a bit like having a smear test. The worst part is having a full bladder during the procedure, which is incredibly uncomfortable. Soon we shall find out. I would so much love to have another child but I can also see positives in only having one, easier travel, no more sleeple...

My 2nd journey through IVF. Today is day 1! 8220;It only takes one embryo to make a baby” or words to that effect the doctor told me. We were literally putting all of our eggs in one basket. Once our special little embryo was transferred all we could do was wait! I couldn’t believe it! It wasn’t until I saw this tiny little dot flashing on the screen at my 7 week scan that I finally understood that I was actually pregnant and actually going to have a baby! November 13, 2013.

My 2nd journey through IVF. December 18, 2013. And so it begins! Our journey has begun! I don’t start taking my second lot of injections until the 2nd of January (if my natural cycle has stopped like planned) so we’re still a long way from what I call ” the business end” – egg collection, embryo transfer and finally a pregnancy test. November 21, 2013. Ding, Ding, Ding! The answer was yes. So we took the money out of the equation and we had our decision. IVF created our beautiful child, wouldn...8220;...

My 2nd journey through IVF. Patience is a virtue. Randomly getting pregnant naturally after IVF. The internet has told me that this does happen, unfortunately not to me. Two home pregnancy kits and a blood test confirmed that I am definitely not pregnant. It must be hard for the women that don’t have any frozen embryos. How cruel to think you might have gotten pregnant naturally only to have your hopes dashed again. March 3, 2014. Late period after IVF. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

My 2nd journey through IVF. A few days after my last post, my period arrived. Definitely the happiest I’ve ever been to see it! Now we can begin the process again and get back on the road to picking up our one precious embryo. I called the nurses and on day 2 of my cycle I started taking Oestradiol Valerate (synthetic estrogen). This is so they can control my cycle again. I’m over taking hormones, these ones keep giving me headaches and I have constant but mild PMT symptoms. March 17, 2014.

My 2nd journey through IVF. The waiting has begun! Egg collection day is the most invasive and one of the scariest of the whole cycle. This egg collection was very different from my first egg collection. Usually the doctor administers the sedation drugs but because I had my first one on a public holiday, they had to get an anaesthetist to administer my sedation, I was given stronger drugs and I fell fast asleep and don’t remember a thing. This time I remember it all! We’ve done as well as last time!

My 2nd journey through IVF. We’re now getting close to when all of the exciting/scary stuff happens on our IVF journey. He now lifts up my tops and asks if I have a baby in there. He also asks if his Dad has one in his tummy and if he has one in his own which is all incredibly cute! January 6, 2014. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

My 2nd journey through IVF. Month: January, 2014. January 20, 2014. We only need one! Or will it stick anyway? We’ll make our decision tomorrow. The waiting is the hardest part. I’m terrified our one little embryo won’t survive the freezing and thawing process. It could still be a few months before we find out. I’m trying hard to stay positive, we only had one embryo before and we got one baby, hopefully all that embryo needs is a cosy little womb to keep it warm for 9 months. January 16, 2014. Wow that&...
