Day 6

Day 6 of the cycle has rolled around very quickly. As usual it was an early start to see Warren. Everything is looking fine so we are good to start on the FSH. I picked up the drugs and did my first jab this evening. Tomorrow I start on the clexane too which I'm not looking forward to. I have been feeling a bit sick with the metformin but Warren is still keen to keep me on it. And of course I paid that big huge chunk of money today.

My main side effect at the moment is fatigue - I am just so so tired. With Charlotte not sleeping well at night I keep trying for an afternoon nap, but she sometimes doesn't want to nap then either. Except for yesterday, when she had a nice 2.5 hour nap. Which would have been good if I hadn't of been off having a mammogram. Those lumps are still there and were bothering me so I wanted to get some further tests. But I finally have some piece of mind now. The mammogram wasn't painful at all, but they did want to do an ultrasound to confirm the results. I had to smile a little when the radiographer walked in and he was quite good looking. If you are going to have your boobs out and flashing at everyone it helps that they are a bit cute!! Strangely I didn't feel at all awkward the whole hour that I was being poked, prodded, squashed and squished. Probably because compared to IVF treatment, this was nothing. So the good news is I do have lots of little cysts that are quite benign, and the sore lumpy part is actually glandular tissue that can get inflamed with hormones. What a relief. I wish the radiographer who did the US back in January had said that as I would have stopped worrying then.

So we go back to see Warren on Sunday for day 10 and then we should know when EPU will be. I really should have an early night tonight as I have to go to work and at least pretend to be a functional human being.
