Today's the day I take a yukky but necessary step towards conceiving- I'm having my dermoid removed. I'm scared out of my brains as I've never had surgery/ general anaesthetic before and I'm hoping and wishing that my ovary is OK to be left where it is.

I'm trying to think positively about it- that it will bring me one step closer to conceiving. I'm so nervous I feel sick though!

Anyway, wish me luck! If all goes well, by 3pm I'll be a bit sore and missing an ugly plum sized tumour that could have teeth and hair in it! Good riddance!!

Take care!
