Somehow, the time has snuck upon us to embark on our journey to put our fourth embryo (the only one from this cycle) back where it belongs. A week ago I started my injections and things are going well so far. I've been full of cold so my healthy diet and exercise regime has totally gone out of the window but I'm not feeling too bad. My period has been really heavy but that's to be expected as I'd taken about nine weeks of pills back-to-back as we weren't sure when the medication would be starting.
Today is the first day I've felt any potential side effects - I've had a headache this evening - but it could be totally unrelated. I'm feeling much calmer than I did last time, probably thanks to the sertraline!
Oscar is, typically, being super challenging at the moment because he just seems to like to prove to us that we couldn't handle a second child.
I have a scan next Tuesday then hopefully will be ready to add in the oestrogen and we are expecting transfer to be the week commencing 5th October, assuming everything goes smoothly. It could potentially be early the following week if my lining isn't quite ready but I'm in no rush.
Part of me would like it to be a little later so as to avoid a due date too close to our nephew's birthday but the other part would like it to be earlier as our best friends are planning a cycle with transfer towards the end of October and we don't want to be too close together as we are likely to be their childcare during labour!
