Because Thursdays are slow traffic days in Lagos, I allow myself the luxury of an extra hour in bed. So when my alarm went off by 4:00am I promptly dismissed it and snuggled deeper under the duvet.
It had been raining for most of the last 2days and there’s nothing like a cold shower on a cold day to give you just the right amount of kick to jump start your day.
As I made my way out, I allowed my thoughts to dwell on the last few weeks — endless doctors’ appointments, daily jabs in my thigh, drugs, drugs and more drugs…
Today would mark a turning point. We’re expecting one phone call from the clinic, the embryologist to be precise. We would get news about how many of our eggs got fertilised and how many embryos we should hope to have after 5 days.
Married nearly 10years and on our 3rd IVF cycle. It’s been one long Journey but today, my heart is hopeful that this cycle would be ‘It!’
By midday, the phone call came through. It’s a yes! I can hardly contain my excitement.
Even though we have only just crossed one hurdle, it’s enough to inspire hope and faith for the rest of our journey. We’re taking it one day at a time.
