Day 13

Well the side effects seemed to have well & truly kicked in now :(
On a normal day i am experiencing

*Severe headaches
*lower back pain
*Nausea
*extreme tiredness
*major heartburn
*period type cramping

Hopefully these symptoms will subside after the Egg PickUp, which is another week or so away.

My gorgeous DS went back to school today after having 2 weeks off for the term break. Not only did he look super spunky with his new haircut (given by mummy) but gosh he looked so grown up! I missed not having him around the house!

Tomorrow morning we need to go back to the clinic for *yet another* blood test, and an ultrasound. The ultrasound is an internal one, and will detect and measure the growth of the follicles. I guess this is the real test to see how i have responded to the overall treatment so far. Fingers crossed my ovaries are in overdrive, as this will justify the cramping i have been experiencing.
We need to be there by 7am, so i have booked DS into before school care. We just have to have him up & dressed and teeth brushed and out the door by 6.30am. He will get fed breakfast etc. at before school care, which is a much better option than dragging the poor child around with us for the morning.
