IvF #4 fertilisation report
1 embryo. Cancelled the PGS as it didn’t seem worth spending two grand to find out we had a dud embryo. If it even makes it to day three. Le sigh.

The aftermath
I’m still forty and I still have awesome diamond earrings. I also had a fairly reasonable hangover on Sunday morning (must have been that goblet of champagne I kept refilling, or the fact I only got 3hrs sleep…) and as … Continue reading

Birthday surprise
So, today I woke up and I was forty. I kind of imagined (like, years ago, when I was, say, thirty) I’d have had a couple of kids by the morning I woke up and was forty, and that they … Continue reading

Yep, no flies on me. Period never came, had blood test, decided I was just about to ovulate, waited a couple of days and then began a long down-reg on May 3rd. Lucrin until the cows come home. Well, three … Continue reading
