So finally my little follies were ready to rumble - YEY! So tonight was the big drug finale!

The last sniff (hooray) and the injection of all injections! The HCG injection. This ends all of the drugs taken and is the drug which makes the eggs release from the follicles I believe. The science bit for those who like it:

You will be asked to stop both the GnRh agonist and the FSH/hMG injections and a different type of injection called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is given in a dose of 5000-10000 iu (recombinant hCG is as effective as urinary hCG). The injection is essential because it simulates the woman’s natural LH surge. This surge also initiates the final growth spurt of the eggs. hCG injection is carefully timed and is usually given at night to allow egg collection to be performed at a convenient time, about 36 hours later.

So as you may have worked out - that means my egg collection will be 8am on Thursday morning in oxford - thats one hell of an early start - YAWN. Actually I probably wont have slept anyway as I will be very nervous.

The jab itself was no worse than the gonal F ones so no change there! It has all the same side effects so looking forward to more nausea tomorrow - YEY!

So there we have it all systems go! My head feels a bit fuzzy to be honest. I’m not sure whats going on or how to feel. One minute I am so excited and then terrified and then I wonder how I am going to get on if after all of this it doesnt work. I don’t think I am that strong.

We shall see! Night all.
