So it has started! My first appointment took place this morning. I am not going to lie, I was shaking! But it was good, in fact it made me feel great. My scan showed a lovely healthy uterus, my ovaries are good and I have enough follicles. My blood tests were all good, just a borderline thyroid result (normal for everyone else but a little high for someone trying to conceive) so repeat this in March. I have had an AMH (anti-mullerian hormone) blood test just to double check my ovarian reserve.

Next step is my counselling session, which is next week. Not really sure what to expect but I am excited to get going now.

I thought I had chosen a donor this week but it turns out I wasn’t the only one and he is out of stock! Fingers crossed he has plans to get to the bank sooner rather than later!!!

Anyway, I now have to get back to normal life.. turns out it’s quite hard to do!!!
