I realized yesterday that I haven't been updating my blog, so my apologies.
I was waiting for my first period after withdrawal bleed after IVF no.6. Since my last 'natural' cycle was 56 days, when my husband started talking about a last holiday before the treatment cycle starts, I was all for it. We chose a week in September to go in and booked it all on August 21st. Of course, my period started on August 22nd (so that cycle ended up being 41 days), which meant my day 21 would be exactly in the middle of the holiday week. Oh well. I started taking Microgynon and booked TIA appointment (when you sign all the consent forms) as well as the endometrial scratch two days after that.
TIA was last Wednesday, September 19th, all went well. Endometrial scratch was on Friday, September 21st. It has become more common now that the booked appointments are running late which we are not happy about. On Wednesday we had to wait for half an hour. On Friday it was only about ten minutes but the reason got me angry. The lady booked before us was late but because she got there still before us (we arrived bang on at 12pm, our booked time), she took our slot. I would prefer if they took us first, acknowledging our timely arrival time and she would wait when there is a window. Anyhow... It was all very quick, signed a form, undressed while Rick, doctor David and nurse Nicole (or Nicola) were chatting about football. I do hate speculums so this time was no different. The scratch itself was very painful but quick as usual. Got all clear to start my buserelin injections that evening. I got a cyst on my right ovary again but the only thing they can do is to monitor its size. There are around 13 follicles in my left ovary and around 5 in my right one but probably there are some hiding behind the cyst. Next appointment is booked for 5th October, to check how everything looks and hopefully to confirm the start of stimulation.
