In a couple of days time my DH and I will be heading up north for a day jam packed with IVF activities, including one of those most delightful scans with a full bladder ripe for prodding. You’d think my bladder holding capabilities would be at an all time high by now because I’ve had so much practice. But I still get anxious about this scan. However I do have to be thankful for the fact that my cycle seems to have occurred at exactly the right time for the scan, despite having been all over the place for the last year. I am beside myself with joy – my body is actually working to a plan!
One of the interrogations appointments will be with the clinic’s counsellor, so DH and I thought we’d better prepare. We sat down to run through the questions and suggested discussion topics sent with the information package, just so neither of us are blindsided by an awkward question that could damage our case. We needn’t have worried. It seems we’ve discussed everything all by our clever selves – well, we have had enough time to think about this after all. Plus we have some back – up responses prepared for any tricky explorations into our motivations or fears. The main one is; that DH and I have become even closer during this ordeal and are confident that we can deal with any problems or issues that arise from having a donor egg child. When faced with any problems we will simply do what we do best – talk to each other and love each other. We truly are that good!
So after doing our donor egg exam prep we headed off to give ourselves a treat, (another fail-safe problem solving technique). We dined at our favourite Pizza place. They make pizza in the true Italian style – they’ve even got a certificate from Napoli to prove it! See…everything you do needs a stamp of approval from a governing body – from pizza crusts in a wood fired oven to unconventional buns in the oven.
