Today has been implant day! So, this morning we went off to the clinic to have my Zoladex implant. I had to take madam with me as I stupidly hadn’t arranged anyone to have her. I don’t like taking her to the clinic purely because I don’t want to upset anyone. But, I also want her to see that injections and blood tests are OK. In fact, she’s so used to them now, she holds the bottles for the nurses!

Getting out the house was the usual struggle this morning as she didn’t want to get up, then didn’t want to go for a week, didn’t want to get dressed and then wanted to face forward in the car. This last caused a major meltdown and meant a lot of deep breathing from me! It doesn’t matter how many times I explain that facing backwards is safer, she still wants to face me. We have a mirror so she can see me but she kicked that in frustration and then got cross because she couldn’t see me!!! All fun and games.

Anyway, we got to the clinic and I must confess I didn’t really know what to expect from the implant but I thought it was probably going to sting. In actual fact, it was absolutely fine and I barely felt it. It was over very quickly and we were back in the car 15 minutes after arriving and on our way home! It’s been over 2 hours now and nothing at all. I am just waiting to see if I get the joyous pseudo-menopause side effects!

I now have to wait 2 weeks for my scan which can only happen assuming I have had/are having a bleed otherwise I will need another drug.

Watch this space!

Stat safe and ciao for now!

Edit: I forgot to mention, her ladyship is currently cross with me because we didn’t bring a new baby home with us!
