The Holiday and The Heist

After our week away cruising around the Hinchinbrook on a houseboat we are feeling rested and ready for whatever this cycle brings our way. Not being at work meant no sneak peaks this month, which I think was probably a good thing. It meant that we could almost switch off from the whole process for a week and be pleasantly suprised by the outcome of scan day. Our scan on friday showed that there are 2 mature follicles on the left ovary and that we could proceed to insemination as long as we were happy to accept that there is an increased risk of twins should both eggs be fertilised. It was a no brainer for us given that we had no luck with one follicle last cycle -of course we would proceed. We were sent on our way with instructions for the Ovidrel injection to be given at 6am Sunday morning 18/10/09. Following our scan we went to our Acupuncture appointment which turned out to be really interesting. Michael believes (and I am inclined to agree) that there may be insufficient lining of the uterus for an embryo to find attractive enough for implantation, so the aim is to stimulate blood flow with the acupuncture and proliferate the endometrial lining with the Chinese Herbs.

So the scene is set - the heist of all heists is scheduled for 12:30pm Monday 19/10/09. Bonnie 1 and Bonnie 2 are hoping to join forces with 300 million courageous Clydes to pull off one of mother natures biggest miracles.
