I've started my journey!
Af has arrived today, after a couple of days of spotting just to get me excited, so I have just done my prostap injection to put me into a medical menopause. It hurt more than the trial injection, and didn't help that dd thought it would be good to watch!!
However I'm now on my way!!
My nurse is away until 31st August so I'm to ring her then to arrange a scan to make sure I have downregged properly and then will start oral oestrogen to build my lining before I have my donor embryo transferred.
I know that this has a slim chance (around 20% I think as I'm having SET) of working but I can't help feeling excited about it.
I'll update my progress, and side effects on here over the next few weeks. I'm really hopng the side effects will be minimal but have heard that you can get VERY moody with prostap so I have warned DD and other family and friends!!

Injection site is a little tender today and I have been a little cross with dd but thats as she was being down right naughty and nothing to do with my hormones-which I did tell her!!!

I am so pleased for you tht you have started your journey. I hope so much this works for you and I can't wait to read your updates. Wishing you loads and loads of luck, hope the injection site isn't too sore!!!.x.
glad to hear the journey has started and il look forward to your updates
Gemlou, yes I remember you and I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.
Well my 5 year old dd has just said my injection is working as I'm cross and moody-I'm blaming it on too little sleep!(caused by her! LOL)! One thing I have noted is af is even heavier than usual-especially for day 4! I think I need to eat red meat today or I'm going to be anaemic!!-sorry if TMI!
Tomorrow G and I are going with her dad to Chester zoo and then a hotel (he's in his own room!!) overnight in llandudno so they can go to the beach before returning on tuesday afternoon. This will be stessful enough so I'm really hoping that I'm not suffering any mood effects yet-I don't think I am but I NEED to be calm and tolerant!!!
I'll let you know if I manage it!
