The First Consultation

Our first consultation was scheduled for August 4th, 2010 at 4pm.

We were both up at 7am, we were so excited. The journey to the Clinic is little over an hour in duration, but we just couldn't wait to get going.

We arrived in Cork around lunchtime and met with my brother for lunch.

We passed some time and eventually it was time to go to the Clinic.

When we arrived, the reception staff were so friendly. We filled out all the paperwork and took our seats in the waiting room.

We didn't have long to wait, maybe about 15 minutes.

The nurse called out our names and we followed her up to the consultation room.

We met with the Dr. who explained the whole process to us and then brought us to the scan room.

The first internal scan was a nightmare..........my ovaries are very difficult to scan. It was extremely painful but the outcome was positive. My ovaries are in great condition and producing six and 10 follicles respectively (they are just located in very unusual positions), however, due to an error at the previous clinic we had been seeing, we would have to wait for at least another 4 weeks before we could begin the process.

We left the Clinic, I was in pain, We were both a little disappointed that we would have to wait for another month, but at the same time we were happy that the ball was rolling and we were looking forward to the journey.
