After six weeks on thyroxine, it was time
to see if my hypothyroidism was resolved enough to start IVF.
I called about my blood tests. They
couldn’t find my results – I had to chase them up with the pathology – they
wouldn’t cooperate – end result = me in tears on the line to a number of
difficult women.
After calling every moment I had a break at
work, I finally got through to them again after work. The nurse said that not
only was my thyroid great, but that I could start the IVF process that day! I
was in shock & amazement – I think I had been waiting for another
disappointment. Even if it was cleared – I was starting IVF at least two months
earlier than planned.
So the last two weeks have gone so quickly
& I can hardly believe I will start injections on Friday.
I took Provera for a week (to raise my
progesterone). The first few days I had a terrible headache, was dizzy and
nauseous but that seemed to even out quickly.
I then started Synarel nose spray (to
prevent me from ovulating). Yuck! Not fun, at all. Tastes gross but I haven’t
had too many symptoms. I still feel tired and headachy. I’m trying to give up
coffee at the same time, which can’t be helping! So stick with me, and I will
try to write more regularly about the upcoming weeks. Lots of prayers &
hope hope hope!
