Round 22

I haven’t been very active with my blog writing  lately…. partly because life has been busy and partly because I haven’t wanted to tempt fate and write about what I’m hoping and praying for. With 18 eggs securely frozen I just need another two to get to my 20 that I have dreamed about for so long.

As I sit in Starbucks in the UK the night before egg collection on this latest round I wonder if this will be it. I started stimulation on 31 December so this round has had a lot of slow low dosage stimulation, a change from all the other rounds. I have two follicles showing on the scan. One a good size and the other one on the smallish size but I’m hoping that someone is looking down on me and wanting me to reach my magic number of 20 as much as I do.  Tomorrow I will know.

My family are all out of the country at the moment, so I have a good friend coming to take me to the clinic and collect me tomorrow.  She has been such a rock to me this past year, she was the one who kept me positive when I wanted to give up and has given up her weekend to be here for me.

Friendships like that are hard to find and I don’t think she quite knows just how much I appreciate her love and support. It’s people like this that have made the difference on this journey and I will be forever grateful for the support and encouragement she has shown me.  I will most certainly pay this kindness forward.

So until tomorrow it is fingers and toes crossed as I have one last sleep before collection.
