First flight (with own seat)

My baby has grown so much that he is now eligible for a seat of his own on a flight. We took a short flight (less than an hour), just the two of us. I wasn't sure if I could handle it if Andrew decided to throw tantrums or cried from the pressure on the plane. Thank goodness it went on smoothly.

First thing first, the moment we sat down, I put on the seat belt for Andrew then myself. While waiting for take off, we entertained ourselves with in-flight reading :) Then not long after the taxi off, I gave him something to munch. He was ok with the taking off. In fact, he fell asleep not long after that! And it was uneventful all the way. Andrew slept through the landing and woke up only when the plane came to a total stop! Awesome right!!

Overall, I'm glad it was uneventful and I hope Andrew enjoyed his flight.

First jab for Project 2.0

The blood test taken showed that I have normal amount of eggs reserve but it is at the low side of normal. With some discussion and calculation of my period, we decided to kick start immediately. So, first thing is to have myself injected with growth hormone in hope of getting better quality and healthier eggs. Since during last IVF, I only managed to have less than 5 eggs, so instead of aiming for quantity, we are going for quality now.

I had the first jab on 12 July 2014. I'm not sure what is the dosage but it's "25 clicks" on the pen. In the meantime, I am also taking Vitamin D, Folic Acid and Omega 3. I will need to have 2 more growth hormone jab on the next 2 Saturdays!

Here we go

We have decided to go on another round of IVF in hope of starting project Andrew #2. We went to see Dr F last Wednesday and had my blood sample taken to test on how many eggs do I have. This is something new that I didn't do last time before having Andrew. So... here goes!
