Appointment Update
Our appointment to start didn't go to plan! After getting myself all psyched up (and very worked up and stressed!!) about the 1st injection, they have changed our start date. As i had AF inbetween arranging the appointment and actually going there they now want to start on day 21 as they would with someone with normal cycles. I dont really understand why. In a normal situation they would start the 1st lot of injections on day 21, around a week later you would get AF and around a week after that go in for a scan. This checks that the drugs have switched off your system and that you have a thin womb lining. The nurse said that they wont be expecting me to have AF, they will do a scan after 2 weeks to check my lining thickness and that i am switched off. However because i wont have had AF there is a chance that the lining may have started thickening already and they will have to induce a bleed. It seems to me like they are making it more complicated!! I've just had AF a week ago, so the lining will be thin at the moment, so why not switch me off now??!! Arrggghh!!!!!!
Normally i wouldn't be bothered, i'm used to all the waiting! But i'm really worried about all the timings now. Starting yesterday was perfect for us. DH was around until the middle of november and treatment would have been over by then. Now it will be very tight and i'm really worried its all going to go wrong. If the 1st scan goes ok then i think it will be fine, he is exhibiting at a local show on the day of planned egg collection so it is a lot easier for him to take time out. If they have to induce AF then thats when it all goes bad!! I've got to try not to think about it. They say they can work round it and will just keep me on the drugs for longer. So there are options....it just means being menopausal for a very long time. My family will be in for a horrible time!!
Sorry for the very moany post.....it just felt like such a let down. After getting so worked up about needles and scans (which they didn't bother doing either!), i've now got another 10 days to do it all over again!!
We picked up the drugs, there are a lot less than i was imagining. There was a diary on here and the lady had taken a photo of all the drugs and there was loads, big cardboard boxes full!! Mine were just in a little carrier bag!! I will take a photo later of what i have. We also got given all the needles, and i'm pleased to say they dont look too scary.
Wow, i cant believe how much i go on!! Sorry if i've bored anyone, but this is such a good way to vent!!
So my new start date is the 6th October, wish me luck!

That will probably change saturday night when i'm faced with the needle! DH is trying to make sure he doesn't have to work saturday so that we can do something nice together before. At the moment i'm feeling positive, i hope i stay that way....i keep thinking, in about a months time i could be pregnant!!
