MY NEW LOOK

I took the plunge and instead of brunette (as originally planned!) I ended up a redhead! What the hell, it's nice to try something different and it'll fade over time. And I got the chop too! So I have a new look for the Spring and my upcoming pregnancy. Because this IS going to work. I am going to get pregnant and have a happy and healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. I am!

I must confess though that I am starting to get a wee bit nervous! This time around I am going to be on only 75iu of puregon. Teeny tiny dosage compared to most people but in my case I got 18 eggs on 100iu and a nice dose of OHSS between collection and transfer. Not something I would like to repeat as I was miserable for a good five days. Really miserable. Think waking up in the middle of the night in tears from pain and vomiting type miserable (and I am guilty of not informing the clinic of how I was feeling and stubbornly going ahead with transfer anyway). I know I shouldn't be nervous because clearly I need a lower dose but I can't help but feel my body may not respond as well this time around as that time I had been doing acu for a good 12 months prior and this time I only started going again about 5 weeks ago. I just hope it doesn't influence things too much. And that my eggs decide to behave and grow at a normal rate rather than an inflated rate. Eek!

  2. I like the new look and the new attitude! Yes, this IS going to work. And don't forget, slow and steady is better. I had better quality eggs when I had fewer. I'll be checking in of course

    Thank you for commenting on my blog ;)

  5. Looks cool! I am crossing my fingers and toes for you. I just went on to the waiting list to go and have my fibroids surgically removed. I have to wait up to six months. I sure am hoping it all goes well and we can get pregnant after it.

  7. Ooo, looks gorgeous! Yep, definitely need a new look to go with pregnancy. :) Hey, I was 75iu of Puregon remember...sure, I don't have possible polycystic ovaries, but I'm sure that this will be the perfect dose for you and you'll get a good amount of quality eggies. Yay, not long now!
