Everyone at the ACU was lovely! The doctor gave us loads of her time and the nurses were friendly and helpful, really put us at ease. We had our blood tests and I had a scan of my ovaries. I have really good ovaries apparently with at least a dozen follicles in each, only concern is that I could become 'over stimulated' so will have to be monitored closely when we start treatment.
The doctor removed my contraceptive coil for me. We now have to wait for my natural cycle to return and then ring the centre for a date to get started, could be as little as two months! I've started taking folic acid as advised by the doctor and decided to cut down on alcohol and caffeine; healthy diet starts here! Very excited now but suddenly feel unprepared! Need to start reading about getting ready for pregnancy rather than how long it takes to get appointments! Going to try really hard to keep up gentle exercise and relaxation over the next couple of months but even thinking about it all sets my heart fluttering! Deep breaths!
