Streaming cold. Grumbling ovaries. Two weeks of heavy rain. No baby. No job.
I'm going home to be cossetted by my parents for a few days.
See you soon...

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.

The clinics - dramatis personae
The old clinic - where we had ICSI #1 (October 2009) and ICSI #2 (November/December 2009)
Mr No Nonsense - the consultant, a man of few words who doesn't like to sugar the pill
Nurse Perfect - my favourite nurse
Nurse First Time - the nurse I saw on our first appointment, who is my second favourite
Nurse Not Quite - the other nurse
The XXXX clinic - where we had ICSI #3 in 2010
Mr Miracle Worker - the head consultant
Mr Greek God - the consultant we saw on our first appointment
Mr Wonderful - the consultant we saw most often during ICSI #3
Aussie Girl - the nurse we saw on our first appointment

ReplyDeleteI hope you have a really relaxing time away. xxx Hugs
ReplyDeletePS - i'm just catching up on your posts and I could not agree with you more about the one sided view that is portrayed on TV/Movies about infertility. Irks me so much. But reality is just too boring and depressing to put on the screen I guess.
I am glad you will get some serious TLC. You deserve it. Hang in there and enjoy yourself. I'm thinking of you as always. *hugs*
