Go on boys go go go . . .

So yesterday, (Thursday) I had blood taken, my levels are still within a normal range sitting nicely around 4000, thank you I am doing so good pat on my back for me for controlling my hormone levels so well, ha ha! Today I had to have another scan and another blood test – my vein they like to use looks like a heroin addict has been having a party, it is a little bruised BUT that old vein still did its thing it and gave blood like a seasoned pro. Next my scan, hmmmmm so I am happy my vein still works I waltz in to find the clinic is running an hour behind schedule because they were struggling to extract sperm from some poor blokes, as the Dr puts is “testicales” (okay they are called BALLS, not testicales please stop trying to bamboozle us in the waiting room with Dr speak!) Then finally my turn to be scanned ah life is good nothing I like better that to lie back and have a stick complete with condom pushed up my fandangle on a Friday morning when I have a whole load of eggies growing. Now the Dr who did this is the one who stuffed up last time so you can imagine how relaxed I am right now, yip you guessed it not really relaxed at all. Not to mention when I first lay down she said to me “so Leeanne your pregnant right now”, um excuse me but have I walked into the wrong place??? “Actually I am here for you to make me pregnant” I say back to her, hmmmmmm lucky it wasn’t a man Dr I said that too or it might have been taken the wrong way he he!! Anyway she apologised profusely she had me mixed up with the another Leeanne - WHAT there are two or us, and there I was thinking I was so unique. Anyway after a long stressful day of waiting for results and waiting for the right outcome in regards to the results, I have been told to use my trigger injection (the pregnancy one) tonight, I will then have egg collection on Sunday morning at 11.10. Can you believe that this is the last injection I will ever give myself, seems a little bit weird to be sad about this I know BUT these injections are the closest I will ever get to making a baby so when I am injecting I always feel like I have got hope when I stop injecting and if it doesn’t work where is the hope then?? So yes I do feel sad saying goodbye to my injections we have travelled a long way together. After 4/5 years of trying for a baby both naturally and through IVF it all rests here at the end of this last injection – oh pressure or what!!! So NIL by mouth for 6 hours before collection on Sunday, oh my goodness that is a long time for food and I to be apart!! After they collect the eggs L will have to do his little part with a good magazine for company (poor L) so unromantic!! Then they will put the sperm into the egg whilst it all sits in a little petrie dish and we all have to hope and pray that there will be a lot of loving going on in that dish on Sunday evening. Mmmm I might ask if I can leave a CD with Barry White singing just to keep everything in the loving mood. Oh I hope they dim the lights as my eggs could be a little shy. Go on boys swim, dig deep and fertilize those lovely eggs I have been growing just for you, go go go . . . . . .
