Memories

Hey folks,
hope you all are having a good start to the new year!
I just accidentally found this old blog of mine. Read it all through and compared to what it was this year.

Yeah, I did the donation once more. Felt awesome, although this time the collection hurt much more. But I am happy I could do it. And I am pretty sure I will do it again, at least once. Or maybe even twice. They say 4 times is the max. Or 5, don't really remember. But I know this family has become pregnant with the eggs they got fro me. And the nurse called me few days ago to say that it looks like they gonna have twins ^^ How nice is that?

Hmm..You know, I would suggest every healthy young woman aged 18-30 to do this, go through all the mood swings and pain in the end, because it's worth it. You might have no idea how it feels to not be able to have kids because your eggs wouldn't be fertile. I know as a friend of mine has cried on my shoulder over it. Helping gives the great happiness. And sharing is caring!!  :)


But this is it.
Over and out!.

It's all over!

So, today is Wednesday which means that yesterday was Tuesday. Yesterday morning was the egg collection.
Not the nicest process, i'd say.
Although I'm under quite strong sedatives, i still felt everything..and the feeling sucks when that big needle is put into me. As a result, they got 15 (!!!) follicles from my body. But, all uterus neck is scratched and bleeding a little. Plus, the Ovaries are still hurting and I can barely move somewhere. :(  So, I took a day off from school.

Otherwise, I'm ok. Happy that the process is over and done. Happy to help somebody to have a kid.

I know that I will do it again sometime. In couple years I will be going through this process again because there's no bigger happiness than making others happy. :)

Best wishes and hoping that there will be more and more egg donors to help others!

Last injections

I hope these injections were the last. My body starts to feel weird, i'm becoming a little moody and.. this Orgalutran injection was quite painful. I guess, just because of the fact that this needle was bigger. Or because I had to take them both one after the other. Brrr...
It has been 10minutes since that injection and my tummy feels a little weird. I hope tomorrow they will schedule the date and time I have to be in the clinic to get those eggs out of my body.  :) But it will be next week, that I know  :) As I understood from the Monday's ultrasound, they are getting approximate of 10 eggs. Might be less, but this is the number which shows up in the US :)

Let's hope on best!

Ultrasound

Ah, I was totally hit out of blogging, but - yeah, I had my first ultrasound check. Everything goes well. So, on Friday I am having the second ultrasound, I have still my injections to do. And on Thursday evening i'm taking not only Puregon, but now there comes Orgalutran (or something like that), too. Both on the same night!

Next week will be the grand finals!!!

Injections have started

Hey everyone!

I followed my schedule and stopped taking the e-pills last sunday, so on wednesday i had to start taking the injections.
The periods this time have been very strong and hurtful, as the cycle was stretched to be 35 days long. But they stop quite fast, not so long as always. :)

So, on Wednesday. november 10, 2010, is started to take the hormone injections in my belly. The medication is called Puregon. I have to do them every evening before I go to sleep. My time for them is 22 (10PM).

At first I thought the injection will hurt at least a bit as it's a needle in my belly.. but - it actually is nothing at all! I didn't feel a thing! :)

So, no worries about that. Now I know that I will be a little moody.. changing moods all the time from happy to totally blue...  :(

And in a while I might look a little fatter than normal. :D But that's nothing.

Anyway, my first ultrasound will be on Monday (15th november). Can't wait!! :)) ^^

The change of cycle

Hey everybody,
I have been taking the pills, as you know. In these days I should have my menstruation (due to normal menstrual cycle) but I can only feel the weird feeling which is in the start of every menstruation. No blood, no anything else because of the pills.
The cycle will be longer this time. My last pill day is November 7th. And then I will have my menstruation. Weird to change it like this. weird feeling now. I hope my organism really takes those pills ok :)


Anyway, c  u another time!  ;)

Feelings after a few weeks of pills.

As I haven't used the contraceptive pills for a long time, it was a little weird to get used to them again. It is like I don't feel really any big changes in the way I feel, but started noticing mood changes which I wouldn't refer as normal for me.
I forget taking them in one time every day which is suggested. But at least I remember that I have to take them in less than 36 hours after the previous one was taken. :)

For the record, the alcohol consumption and cigarettes are totally cut off now.
If anybody wonders, which contraceptive pills I'm using, those are Yasminelle. They are quite mild and popular among young women aged 16-28.
That's it for a while. :)

See you in a while!
XOXO,
Zaara.
