the drug-induced drama begins....

Pippa: Well it's been a while since I posted here. Sometimes it's hard to find thinking time during life's routine.
I started my down regulation drugs today (sniffing them from a inhaler bottle) and this just happened to coincide with a new baby entering our family. A boy, to complete a set of three. Jack has gone to see the new mum and sniff the baby skin and has left me alone to contemplate.
It seems an awful long way off, the sniffing of our own baby's skin ....

Still no alcohol is being consumed in our house (well, the odd 0.5% beer) and it seems a pretty happy, loving household at the moment. Over 10 years Jack & I have been together and I still can't wait to see him at the end of the day. More importantly, he lets me know he feels the same.
I'm just waiting for the drug-induced moodiness to kick in and spoil the harmony, I hope that doesn't happen. I've got 17 days of sniffing before I have a pre-FSH scan to check my ovaries have shut down , then I begin the stimulating drugs. They await in my fridge- boxes of the stuff and I have a little purple bag to carry around my stash- how cute!

My anxiety this week is that I don't think the hospital have supplied enough of the sniffing stuff- only 14 days worth and that won't get me to the first appointment. It is very frustrating trying to contact the clinic as I can never seem to get a real person, only an answer machine. Hopefully they will get back to me tommorrow.

I had better close and try to get some sleep. Goodnight and sweet dreams to the (as yet) nameless 1-day old boy, perhaps you'll have a little playmate on the way??
