I've been given the green light!!

Unfortunately I have to wait for the results of my smear test I had done on Friday. But once I get that it is all systems go.

The clinic have explained everything to me and it is not as scary and daughting as I thought it would be,

Can give myself the injects I need and only require a few blood tests over two week period before extraction - I had in my head every day!!

They will only implant one egg tho cause of the diabetes - I was hoping they would do two.

So here to getting my smear result and then starting.


'Happy Happy Happy'

congratulations , great news xx
 
Fantastic news :D x
 
That's brilliant news, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you xx
 
Totally and utterley brill news Di everything is crossed hun xxx
 
Great news - I have been down this route, and no, it is not as bad as everyone seems to think. I did my own injections too, sometimes painful though because of the size of needle needed to hit muscle deep down.

Don't know why only one egg though, I had two put back, and both took. Might be with the added risk of multiple birth.

It all good though!!
 
Hi Casper

I plan on doing my own injections. We have lots of twins in the family already. Husband Father is an identical and also has twin brothers. My grandma is also a twin - so hence only one & I think because of the diabetes.

In therory I should be able to start with my next cycle - kinda excited but also a bit scared!! I'm gonna try and take some time of work from the extraction and until after they implant (unpaid) - I can't take the risk of work knowing what is going on and I want to be able to releax and not have to worry and stress out about work.

So here's to fingers crossed
