FET is a go!

We had our appointment in Sheffield on Thursday to discuss our FET.  I've been back on my birth control pills since a few days after egg collection so we are ready to go just before my next period.  The day before I take my last pill I will start Suprecur (Buserelin) injections daily to suppress my ovaries.  This will be for 2 weeks then I'll have a scan on 11th November.  Hopefully everything will look good and I'll then start on oestrogen tablets, whilst continuing the injections, for 2 weeks then another scan.  All being well at this point they'll schedule the transfer, I'll stop the injections, continue the oestrogen and add in vaginal progesterone pessaries.  It's not a quick process but if everything goes to plan we will be transferring in the last week of November - so really it's not that far away!

I find it so odd that the medication we're using to suppress my ovaries is the same medication I had for my trigger injection, same dose and everything - the wonders of modern medicine!

So I now have a kitchen full of sharps bins, needles, syringes, tablets and pessaries and a fridge full of medication for the injections.  It's starting to feel very real but I'm trying not to get too excited.

I'll keep you posted once I actually start the medication, which will be next Friday (27/10/16).
