Hi all,

Well I was due to have my first egg pick up around the 12th of April. I went in for my scan before starting injections and everything was on track... the nasal spray was doing it's job and I was told to start on injections but then they noticed that my rubella blood test results had been flagged - low immunity so I was advised to get reimmunised and wait atleast 28 days before trying to get pregnant.

The clinic has had these results for 6 weeks so I was furious that they didn't tell me earlier (I could have been immunised and waited the 28 days whilst I was on the contraceptive pill).

I was told I might have to start all over again (with going back on the pill after I was immunised) but then the doctor said I could stay on the nasal spray to keep my cycle where it is for another month and then we'll start on the injections.

Thank god I haven't had serious side effects from the spray (just feeling pretty tired). Now I will end up being on it for 8 weeks.

Egg pick up might be around the 10th of May now. I'm feeling very frustrated with all the delays and I haven't even really started yet. I know it will still be a long process from when I start injections (especially as I know the chances of getting pregnant first go aren't great).
