Well I’d love to say my pregnancy got easier as it went along but unfortunately it didn’t. It was pretty much stressful from 5 weeks until the end which was 33 weeks. I’m only now feeling good enough to write about it (probably with the help of the anti-depressants I’m on!). So I had gestational ..read more

Probably time for an update hey? Well I was right and I do have gestational diabetes, so I’ve been on insulin since around 10 weeks. It’s fine, it doesn’t worry me because at the end of the day it is for the health of the baby and what’s one more needle in this whole process ..read more

First OB appointment yesterday and I have to say I’m so relieved in more than one way… first off the scan went well and baby was still kicking (my symptoms disappeared for a couple of days and freaked me out) so when I arrived to the new OB he asked if anything was worrying me ..read more

Sorry for the drop off!  Things got a bit crazy around here and my 4th beta was a bit wonky and on the low side so I of course panicked and thought the worst.  I wasn’t very confident going into my scan but the baby was seen at 6+3 with a heartbeat of 117 bpms ..read more

Yep it worked! I didn’t want to bog you all down with my neuroses during the two week wait… so I spared you the pee stick shots etc.  Needless to say I was peeing on sticks as soon as I got home, at first I thought it was a chemical because the line was so ..read more

That’s what my doctor said to me at our appointment just before transfer yesterday. This has been a phenomenal cycle, the kind I’ve only ever read about before from others… never for me, so I’m a bit in awe that it’s actually happening. Of our 20 embryos, 15 were of freezable quality – two were ..read more

Here I am in Cape Town again! Back at the Vineyard Hotel and relaxing my ass off. I’ll just recap for those who aren’t up to date with this cycle (or can’t be bothered reading back over 3 years of my writing)…. this is donor cycle #4 for us. In 2014 after 6 of our ..read more

So part of the ‘luxury’ of doing the majority of my cycle from home and doing a ‘FIFO’ transfer in Cape Town is that my lining scan is done here. Normally at this point of the cycle I would need to be in Cape Town but to save costs I’m going at the last minute ..read more
