AF arrives with a vengence!!
So AF arrived, and did she arrive?!? Its almost like my body knows whats about to happen? This is the worse period pains I think ive ever had, had me curled up in the feotal position, feeling very sorry for myself, started to wonder what the hell I was doing going through all this treatment if my period has me in such a mess haha, and thats justa standard period, there hasnt even been any medical interference yet!!!
While I was in that pain, I started to think of all the endo women who have pain like that and worse no doubt every month, and I started to think about if all my dreams come true and I have to go through labour ........:-$ What am I getting myself into haha, I guess thats all normal feelings, althought this definately not a normal period....maybe it is the stress and tension making it worse?
So I start injectibles on the 22nd of August..... didnt realise the whole thing would take so long, I am apparently on a long cycle and the estimated egg collect will be around the 16th of September!!! Which means late September before transfer and it will be october before I know the results, this is quite a learning curve!!

Hang in there. It\'s all worth it. We\'re expecting our little guys arrival on sept 17 :) I never thought we\'d get to this point. Everything we went through was so worth it. Best of luck, u can do it!
Good Luck! It will be worth it in the end! I\'m in my 2WW now and so anxious!
I freaked on the way to get our first transfer. Totally normal, embrace the emotions of fear now so they are not held hostage. PS yes, endo sucks. I think this time AF is just saying good-bye for a while, she doesn\'t want to be forgotten. ;-)
Almost there, so excited for you.
Glad you got your schedule - which sounds like long stimming, but I\'m no doctor! Good luck!
I totally think stress and tension plays a role in pain...please take care of yourself in all of this! Glad you know more about when things will happen. The shots really weren\'t bad for me after getting used to doing them. Hope everything goes well for you!
Thanks everyone!! Its been such a long time coming I\'ll be glad to get going just scared the whole way through!
