All booked in.

I picked up the phone today and booked my fertility specialist appointment. Another step taken, another conversation I never imagined having. The receptionist at the clinic asked me if I have a partner. "No, I don't," I said, fearing a tone of judgement in her response. But she coolly went on to explain that as of 1 January the law around donor sperm is changing which means that imported sperm from the states might not be available. My heart sank. Then she went on to say that they are confident of finding a way around it and therefore are still booking women in for 'work-ups'.

Thursday, 19th November at 8.15am. K has offered to come with me. Counting down the days. 10 days to research, research, research so I can go in armed with a list of questions.
