For a few nights now, P has been jabbing needles into her leg and injecting herself with hormones in order to “reboot” her hormonal system so that she progresses towards ovulation according the a timetable to suit the hospital’s convenience.
The drugs bring on the nightsweats which results in her having to peel herself from the bed in the morning but has the advantage of dissuading our allergen-enriched cat from tucking up beside her at night. They do not affect her mood except when I suggest that any passing grumpiness must be “down to the hormones” at which point she chases me round the house with a pair of kebab skewers and a garlic press, psychosis shining from her eyes.
Yes, mes amis, we are once again on the IVF treadmill. Though this is, definitively, the very last time.
I tell you because those of you not battle-hardened by following us through previous rounds may not be ready for the display of olympic-standard self-pity this usually brings on. It’ll be ugly round here for a bit and the sensitive among you may want to avert your gaze. For those of you who want to join us in this month’s trip over the emotional Niagra in a barrel, I’m grateful for your company and I suggest that you hold onto your hats.Â
*fingers and toes all crossed until I get cramp*
Thanks Gambs
good luck moober, I really hope this one’s the charm.
All digits crossed for you moobs. “£$FKJLOS£)*$%*)£ W(r3034 .
Umm. See?
Good Luck Moobz….and feel free to unload on us all you want. That’s why we’re here!
EB- Thanks James, I hope to buying some B&S maternity wear shortly.
Poggle – this will end up with you spilling vodka in your lap.
Maniacal – Thanks M. I think “all you want” may be too generous a measure 🙂
Look away from Moobs?? Not possible.
Many, many good vibrations headed your and P’s way.
wishing lush fertile sexiness your way.
I will follow you in a barrel…right down the frickin falls my friend!
I am sending you and Penny big HUGS from afar…and lots of wishes for this to be the one.
Ah, if I could have given my former superfertility away to you and yours, I have dear.! Im praying for productive procreation and that you might have a little bit of fun in the process!
Moobs, I had no idea you two were on the IVF merry-go-round until you left a comment on one of my posts about it… but I am glad to know you’re giving it another go, and I’ll be sending lots of “Strong egg, strong spermie” vibes your way.
In a totally non-pervy way, of course.
Um.
Oh man, buy your wife a big present for enduring IVF more than once! Well wait, I know what IVF costs, maybe you could just MAKE her a present. I’m sending you my best blog energy. Good luck!
If good wishes play any part, it seems like you’re onto a winner. It’s a privilege to share some of your experiences.
I had to do injections into my leg for my arthritis for a bit. No comparison whatsoever but all due respect to Penny nonetheless. All due respect to you too.
I’ve got nothing really to add – Just, good luck to you and Pen.
Fingers are crossed, Moobs…as are all my pubics.
Lol KC – that sounds like some complicated braiding
Best of luck to both of you! We’re all cheering for you.
And thanks for the suggestion of the kebab skewers and garlic press. Usually I do my chasing with a broom and torch but your way sounds so much more civilized.
oooh I’ve crossed everything for you guys xx
I couldn’t look away if I tried. All best wishes.
all the best to you both – I really wish you well.
