Slight emergency

Is it bad form to kill your partner before the embryo transfer. I just need to get the etiquette down.

So all is proceeding to plan, started sniffing lucrin yesterday (and what a joyous occassion that is for all concerned - that is not a strawberry scented delight sliding down my nose). Nevermind, its all the greater good etc. Sunday, that is tonight, off I happily trip to the fridge to get my Puregon. But wait, no puregon, no pregnyl.

SWP has had a complete brain failure. There was not enough room in the fridge, so he has taken my incredibly expensive fertility drugs out and left them with the other drugs in the bathroom. Despite knowing that they get picked up with massive ice packs and that they must go straight home to the fridge, despite me checking 3 times with him "did you put the drugs in the fridge", despite this being our 4th stim cycle (so he has been here before) - he thought they would be OK on the bench. He doesn't know why either.

Luckily the after hours clinic answers the phone (it is 7.30 on Sunday). Annie doesn't know whether I can use them, but phones back to say that the pregnyl will have to be destroyed but the puregon will be OK. I have to go and pick up more pregnyl with my blood tests this week.

Oh, and she says that I can't kill him, she thinks that we will need him later. Personally, Im not so sure :)

Update: late this afternoon, we have take off. Let the rollercoaster begin. Its not often that I am so glad to see her, but finally!!!!

Ummm, hello??

This conception thing seems to spend a lot of time revolving around my period. Which was due 2 days ago, yes, thats right my incredibly reliable, 28 day cycle has gone missing in action.

Why can't it do that when I am waiting for a blood test.

Nope, it still not here. No matter how many times I check, there is no period.

Im late. I even try the traditional-guaranteed-to-make-my-period-arrive trick and POAS. Oh good, now I have a negative, and still no period.

Just waiting then. Fine.

Weapons of mass conception

OK, the list got longer, but in the end, I think that we will go for it. I am supposed to start Wednesday, Day 1.

Went in and picked up the drugs today (those little packs get bigger and bigger each time). We are throwing everything at it this time - clexane, prednisolone, pregnyl, progesterone - everything that has made any difference in the past. Its a flare cycle, so no BCP, just get my period, start sniffing and shooting up, and monitor like crazy.

Alex can fit me in for acupuncture too, so all the stars seem aligned. The nurses are so lovely, Sandy is practically overjoyed to see us, tells us that this time will be the one. At least some one is positive.

I may be bitter??
