It’s
been 12-13 days since we started out IVF cycle. My one injection a day went up to 3 a day and if you look at my
stomach it looks like a pick up truck rode over it. Shades of blue, pink,
redness etc. We’ve been to the clinic practically every day for ultrasounds,
tests, scans etc. the process is nerve-racking and difficult and I realise it’s
as much of a mind game as it is a physical one. You need to believe in the
greater picture… the vision and feel it
in every bone of your body. I’m scheduled for my retrieval or as they say in
the IVF world ‘ pick up’ on Tuesday and I Reshma sister is coming home to give
me my trigger shot at 10: 30 pm. I still have a long way in the journey .. My
transfer, my hysteroscopy.. etc but I KNOW that this is my last round of
injections with the trigger tonight. I believe.. I know that we will be
blessed. More than anything I am so thankful for the effervescent Dr S who is
with me every step of the way monitoring my follicles with more excitement than
me. The wonder women/nurses sujatha,Bismillah and Reshma who administer all the
injections, stuff and prepare me for scans with the quiet reassurance that it
will all be worth it in the end.And of course the stud that B has been, holding
my hand throughout all our appointments and doing impressions of things that
make me smile and bringing in some fun with the phus phus and blums(our code
words) . This process is stuff on couples emotionally andn physically
exhausting .He’s my rock and I know someday when we look back at this when we
are in bed with our son and daughter and scruffy pup we will look back on these
days.. laugh and be thankful
