ICSI IVF - First round of ICSI and no eggs fertilised!!

I got the call to say that none of our eggs fertilised and it was the most heartbreaking thing i've ever experienced. I literally can't explain the disappointment. The worst thing was, the embryologist was baffled as to why it hadn't worked! She said the sperm and eggs were both good quality..In fact, my eggs had survived the ordeal! They had activated with the presence of the sperm, they just...

5 Things: August 2016

01: Countdown to ICSI IVF Hey Guys, We are almost there!! Seriously its about a month till we start our IVF journey and I cannot wait. Give me those injections!

My IVF Journey so far.

So i thought i'd update a little bit on where we are up to with our IVF journey. I had an appointment in June to check on my weight loss progress and by that point i was 2lb off getting my 1and a half stone award at Slimming world. The doctor was really happy and worked out my BMI was 31. (it has to be 30 to start) But he said he would check where we are on the waiting list and if we are near the...

Mumford and Sons // BST Hyde Park - 8th July 2016

One of my presents for my 30th was to go and see Mumford and Sons live. This has been on my bucket list for a few years. I remember searching for their tour dates a while back and realising i had just missed a UK tour, i was so gutted. So gutted. So when i saw that the only UK 'thing' they were doing this year was the Barclaycard British Summertime Festival in Hyde park I knew I HAD to go. Especially...

New Name, New Layout

I have a new name! Kiss the rain.  It's about remembering to take the rough with the smooth, learning to embrace the rain as you know the sunshine will come eventually. I feel like this is so me right now. TTC is so stressful!! Putting a new template on here is also very stressful. AAaargh. Please bear with me....

ICSI IVF, Slimming World,

So recently I had another appointment with the Fertility Doctor but it was only a check up so not much happened. He just wanted to check i was losing weight as I have to go from: 14st 3.5lb to 12st 12lb before i can start treatment for ICSI IVF. This will mean my BMI will be 30 which is the requirement for the IVF. At the moment I am 13st 12lb so I only have 14lb left! Our start date should...

5 Things:

Don't you just love weekends!! 01: Hair SO, If you have read my previous post about dying my hair you know that i put another dye on this weekend. I really love it and i'm really liking being Ginger. I know it will wash out a bit when i wash it tomorrow but the dye kit has a colour extender included so hopefully it wont be too bad. I'd really like to get some extensions too but because the tone and...
