Introduction

Journal date: 25 September 2009

Hi all, I hope that just as I did when reading other's diaries, people who read mine, will be able to take their minds away from 'is it working ... is it not' stress of the 2ww after embroy transfer, if only for a brief moment.

I am 29 yrs old and after 2 yrs of of secondary infertility, my partner and I have opted for egg sharing, as we are unable to afford IVF, and the NHS in my borough will not treat us for IVF because I (and not my partner) already have a child.

So after 12 days of 225iu of menopur and alongside 2 sniffs of suprecur 3x daily, my body gave 8 folicles, 4 of which went to 'a recipient' and I wish her all the luck in the world... the others were for me. 2 off these fertilised, and after 2days where trnasfered back to me, where I hope they are snugg and on their journey to becoming my babies.

The last 11 days since egg collection, I have gone through fear, delight, fear, hope, fear, hope and so on. My body is being secretive with its reaction to the newly adapted embroys, I have had no symptoms other than a delightfull increase to my 2 fried eggs, and beer belly.

My blood test (for pregnancy) is due on tuesday (29/9/2009). But my parnter's birthday is the next day, so rather than risking ruining his birthday celebrations wih a negative result, I will hold my breath and wait until the thursday 91/09/2009) to take the test... I still need to check with the clinic, as I am taking cyclogest perssaries and this may need to stop on day 14.

😜 😇

So this is my journey so far, I will keep you all posted.. 😜
