Well, today marks the first day of treatment!
After a slight ker-fuffle with some test reseults we are now on track… well, sort of.� Day 3 of IUI marks the start of taking Gonal-F injections to help my ovaries get the idea, at least more so than normal, and release more eggs than they might otherwise do in an effort to increase chances of concieving, we are goin to pick that up from the clinic on Friday and be shown how to administer it – it sounds like its done similiarly to insulin injections. Then on Day 9, they start regular scanning to see how things are progressing. Sounds pretty straight-forward doesn’t it. Day 9 occurs after the day or days I will be interviewing people for a role as web developer so� it would appear to be all cut and dried!
Wrong!
I phoned up Jon to let him know we were all go and that my first scan would be on the 8th when he reminded me that he is in hospital that morning for a scan of another type. Unfortunately its the QE 2 in Welwyn so a far drive away and he is having a flexi-sigmoidoscopy and won’t be able to drive for a while after. However in the meantime I wondered if his mum might have some flexi-time and drive me, obviously the issue here is that I don’t drive! But alas no, I called hime back to learn that she was taking him to the hospital for his 8:30 appointment. Of course I did point out to him that since he wouldn’t be in any fit state to drive why had he suggested that I rebook for later on when he’d probably still not be able to drive!
In the end I decided to opt for taking a taxi. Unless anything else presents itself in the meantime. Hopefully though he won’t miss any of the other scans. My other hope is that with all this crazy silliness now things can only be good.
But we shall see…
