One perfect emby....please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who was to know that when I titled my blog....I really need those comforting and positive words.....yes EPU was today and out of all my lovely follicles, we got one egg thats right a nice egg FS said so hoping and praying it fertilises
Wow this journey of IF is a rough and bumpy road and who knows when it will be smooth riding...
So as my blog says I need one perfect emby as thats all I have this cycle and as I have read the first IVF baby was only ever on one egg..and a women only falls natural with one egg each cycle ...and my chances are a little higher then natural cycle as we are having ICSI...This next 24 hours I need to go occupy the mind
Blessings to me everyone!
EDITED
God I love my mum from the moon and back and the whole universe she is my rock through this whole journey ...puts me back in perspective...its ok Emma ...you have one not none....

Marvellous Monday
For all those curious...tonight is T for Trigger thats right Im getting those eggs ripe and ready for picking Wednesday morning....I think this is one of the high moments of IVF knowing you have some follicles ready with hopefully some good mature eggies..All in all this IVF cycle #1 definately has had highs and lows but Im proud of myself for overcoming fear of needles...Im proud of my DH supporting me even though there were some stressful moments eg mixing our pregnyl shot together then on our last injection last night for pregnyl we did not have the 1/2ml measuring syringee which our clinic forgot to give to us so we were ringing around our local pharmacy which is like 25 km away and luckily was opened until midnight so we got it..DH got so stressed out god bless him
So pray for me please for Wednesday that I get some good eggs ripe and ready for fertilisation

Fantastic Friday
Well as it goes...15th day for my FSH injections...yes my body is addicted to these drugs since I was sloowww responding in the beginning I require a few more days of these drugs...so yahhh even with low ovarian reserve I now have 8 measurable follicles over 10mm, 2 at 16mm, 1 at 23mm and rest between 11-14mm. My Fertility Specialist wants to see how I go over weekend and measure again Monday for EPU Wednesday so I have more eggs..so looking pretty good apart from my dam irritating cough I have..may have to venture off to take my antiobiotics as no extra herbal medicine allowed on IVF :(
Every day I appreciate medical world for such invention and am so amazed about the whole IVF process...its still amazing how much control they have over my cycle and all I have to ensure is that I inject, sit back and relax and think positively grow follicles grow..Thank the universe for medical science and my wonderful and handsomely gorgeous fertility specialist is enough to put a smile on my face

Focusing on the positives....
The therapeutic treatment I needed after yesterday and thought I would share to help the rest of you:-
1.Crocheting
Here is a picture of the blanket I gave my sister in law with baby boy due next week....cant wait to make one for my own
2. Walking my beautiful dog on a beautiful sunny autumn moring
3. I can see the colours of the autumn leaves
4. My husband is still standing by me even with our difficulties of becoming parents
5. We own our own house still paying off but has allowed me to work from home part time with my accounting business after selling most of my business I operated for 5 years
6. My husband I have travelled to many places around the world ...We are yet to go to Europe together hopefully one day we get there together ...IVF financially has stopped this but we still have been to Thailand, Japan, Fiji x 3, Hawaii and many other places within Australia
7. I have strong family bond to support me all the time
8. The journey of TTC has opened my eyes up to the spiritual world
9. I am educated has allowed my husband I to now afford IVF and the clnic and doctor ouf our choice.

To cry or not to cry....
Now I know this journey of TTC is difficult and heart wrenching...and I know the words of IVF and the journey is even harder....I have been dealing with it one day at a time thats right I think its the only way to stay above....
2 Blood tests down and one Ultra Sound...how many more to go? Who knows? God knows? Well I hope he bloody does and is kind to me.....
It was like a production line this morning at the Ultra Sound all the ladies lined up getting their scans to see how many follicles they have and anything else ...I always battle nerves going through the process what do I expect today...I emptied my bladder as soon as I got there ie 45 min drive to my clinic and lots of fluid in morning always busting to go ...then had to wait approx 15 minutes...thought better empty bladder again as its filling it and it sure did need emptying...
US found 1 follicle right ovary and 5 follicles on left with a 3.4 cm cyst endometrioma....what the F**** ?? I was just on zolodex for 3 months to suppress my hormones just went through a second laprasacopy to get rid of them all and this bloody cyst had to appear (it was 1.3cm prior to starting FSH but too small to remove in laparascopy)....please body be kind to me...please
Anways after driving home and settling in after visiting my heavily pregnant Sister in law due next week after all my tests...I had to drive all the way bak 45 min there and back to get my extra goodies...yummy more drugs...now I get to inject myself every 3 days with pregnyl to stimulate ovaries a little bit more to give me good and better quality eggs
The positive my FS did not ring me to discuss the findings from the nurses and instructed second lots of drugs...got to be apositive as he is wishing to continue with me...so there is still hope !!!
In between waiting for the results and my scans this morning ..I visited my sister in law had a big cry before I got there and then tried to forget about my journey whilst there and focus on her baby to be and another lovely visit of 3 week old baby....babies all around ...god is that a sign that Im one step closer or gods way of teasing me? I thought visiting her was good therapy for me to surround myself with more babies or am I insane?
So next is another BT on monday to measure then probably a BT and US Wednesday.....Now I really feel like a drug addict as pregnyl I get to mix two components together ...oooh Im so excited
