Sorry it's been a wee while since I last posted. We have been busy getting a new kitchen in which has been stressful.
I have also had a bit of stress in trying to arrange the time off from work to attend for my treatment. Seemingly, I am not entitled to anything, except for my annual leave and unpaid leave. I was really quite upset about it all to be honest. Where I work has an Adoption and Fostering policy but nothing for this treatment. I was told that this is my choice to have treatment and was likened to cosmetic surgery! My boss was really sympathetic and I appreciate that he is unable to influence anything to help me.
I explained that Adoption is a choice too and more importantly that for people who seek IVF and Adoption, this is the only way for us to fufill our basic human right to have a family. Still, this was all in vain and nothing can be done. I am trying to find ways of changing this for the future for others who will follow in my footsteps. I will let you know what happens.
I'm still attending for weekly acupuncture which I am really enjoying, am going again tomorrow. I'm hopeful that as well as helping the process itself, that it will help with any side effects that I might experience.
I also can't stop eating! I tend to overeat when I'm worried about things so I need to watch or I will put all the weight I lost back on which is not wise.
So, Sunday, only afew days away now and I can hardly believe that this is it now. I'm excited, yet a bit apprehensive but I hope with all my heart that this all works out for us. I can imagine that everyone else feels the same as we do just now.
I will write again after Sunday and will probably be here alot more from then on.............
Keep everything crossed!
L,x
