Boy am I getting nervous now! Tomorrow is the big day, well Friday is really but tomorrow is the day when they knock me out and take the eggs - it's a much bigger operation than Friday and I'll be having a general anaesthetic for the procedure, so it's really the hardest part. It's what all the drugs have been for and it's key to everything, so I'm a little nervous.
Chris is more nervous than me though! So much so, that for the last 2 days he's been feeling really sick and took the day off work today. Poor baby. I think I forget sometimes that even though it's been me who has had multiple injections (27 shots of Buserelin, 11 shots of Menopur and 1 shot of Pregnyl, and 1 blood test thats 40 injections so far!) that he is as scared of this whole process as I am. (But I'm definately the braver one!)
No injections today though! and what a nice thing that is, although I did go and have acupuncture today which means I've not totally escaped the damn needles yet. 17 Acupuncture needles today, and I can't say that I enjoyed it either. I really hate the 4 that go in your ears, they bloody hurt. I will be going back for 2 more sessions on Friday, once before the embryo tranfer and once after. Then that is IT - NO MORE NEEDLES!!! (well there may be a few blood tests to go but I don't know about that yet). Oh and of course there will be the needle in the back of my hand for the op tomorrow. Do you think there is a theme here?? I hate bloody needles, they hurt and they are nasty little sharp things. I really do feel like a sodding pin cushion. I hope it is all worth it. (rant off - I feel better now).
Other than that it's been a nice day. The weather is HOT, and I've remained calm and unstressed. All good for tomorrow.
Time for an early night - we have to be up at 6am!
