OK, I promise I'm not going to do this every day of the 2WW, but it's another significant number.
It's the number of days past transfer.
It's the number of embryos we've had in total over three IVF cycles - little Viennetta arrested before transfer on our first cycle.
It's the number of full years I've been working for my current employer - significant because today is my last day of work.
It's the number of days until my interview for a possible new job (confirmed only yesterday - and they've given me stuff to prepare for it, so that's Monday's lounging in front of the telly scuppered!).
It's the number of months until that job starts if I get it - and so the number of months I get to take it a bit easier and just do the occasional bit of freelance work to keep me going.
If any babies want to start implanting now, this would be a really good time to do it...
Picking up the pieces and taking the next step after a diagnosis of infertility
About Me
- Hope Springs
- United Kingdom
- I thought my fairytale had come true when I married the man of my dreams - and in many ways, it has. But after 16 cycles of hope and disappointment followed by a trip to see a consultant and three failed ICSI attempts, we have a diagnosis of both severe oligozoospermia and diminished ovarian reserve to contend with, and wonder whether we'll ever get a chance to complete our family.
