Day 12: Lucrin/Puregon

Today marks day 12 of my journey! Time feels like it is passing superquick, and im starting to feel anxious about preparing my body for the Egg PickUp procedure. Im scared shitless its going to be a painful procedure, and im nervous about the amount of eggs which will be successfully harvested. Im also confused about how im feeling regarding the whole process, and whether we are going to get the much-wanted baby out of this cycle or not.

My headaches are becoming so bad at the moment, that im waking at night in agony. My head feels so sore that i can barely lift it off the pillow without howling in pain. Last night I resorted to taking panadol, and according to the IVF clinic, this is perfectly ok and safe to do so.

The needles are going ok, and DH is still in charge of jabbing me, although this morning he looked to peaceful and comfortable after i had already woken him up at 4am for some panadol & water, that i decided to give the dose of Puregon myself. It wasnt overly unpleasant, and didnt hurt, but still id rather he be in charge of that!!

I just returned from a nice night out with my sister and a friend, and whilst we had planned dinner only, they decided to catch a movie. Whilst i would have loved to join them for the 9 o'clock session, i had to be home at 10pm for my Lucrin shot! So alas, i missed out!
Oh well, hopefully i can join them next time!

Oh - I *think* my moods have improved! I still get cranky very easily, however the extremity of the actual crankiness has worn down a little. So i have gone from Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde to the wicked witch of the west! Now my DH, thats gotta be an improvement!
