IVF: my journey to meet the precious life has just started...!!

FINALLY!!!We have started IVF cycle recently and it's day 3. We had everything in place once last year but had to postpone it due to several family issues. Thankfully, things seems settled so that we could finally move forward.

It's pretty personal thing so wasn't sure if i should make record of it on this blog. However, I believe it's going to be great to note the journey and share it with someone who also choose IVF in order to meet their baby, treasure of the life.
 
I'm doing self injection, Lucrin and Puregon. It is self injection is much easier than I imagined, Thank God! It made things less stressful. I also had a big concern about my mood swing due to the influence of the chemical. However, I don't see any difference on my mental state so far which made me so relaxed as well. In fact, I feel much happier. I think it is with the fact we are one step closer to meet our future family member.


Blood test will be started on day 8,and soon after that, ultrasound will be started. All new and quite experience. Really hope all goes well and be able to share good news in about a month time.


一年ほど前から準備はしていた体外受精、家庭の諸事情で延期せざるおえなかったものの、3日前、ようやく第一歩を踏み出しました!

私の体外受精の記録をつける事はもちろん私自身のためでもあるけど、
シェアすることで同じく体外受精で赤ちゃんに会う道を選択した方のお役に立てたらいいなと思ってます。

毎朝、ラクリンとピュラゴンというホルモン剤を自分で注射します。注射は拍子抜けするくらい思ったよりずーっと簡単。ホルモン剤の精神的な部分への影響もかなり気になっていたんだけど、今のところ全然違和感なし。それどころか、気分はすごく幸せ。長かった停滞期を越えてようやく前進できて、赤ちゃんに出会うことが現実的になっているからだと思います。

8日目には血液検査をして、その後に超音波で卵子の数の増加の様子を見ていきます。
あらゆる事が初めてでもちろん少し緊張するけど、順調に進んでいって、一ヵ月後には嬉しい報告が出来るといいなぁ。
