After a few days of period hell Michelle was physically feeling better but she was still mentally scared. She was on her ways down to the surgery on the boat, to try and get help with her Fertility issue. Steve had arranged for the next few weeks to get Friday nights off, so they could try conceiving but she was trying to think of any reasonable excuse to try and stop him at least for this week.
"Just take a seat Michelle and I'll find your records" The doctor on duty said as she emerged into the surgery.
"So you're here because you're trying to conceive but you don't think it will work"
"Yeah I doubt it will, there were complications when I had my first one"
"What did the doctors say the problem was"
"Well I was to young, so there were problems there and then I was on the pill to soon and for about a year after giving birth, so they said that I was partly infertile and if I wanted more kids I would have to take medication and everything"
"Right well the good news is we can give you stuff to help but the bad news is that, the side effects of it aren't that nice"
"That's fine, whatever will help me get this little baby I'll have it"
"Okay does Steve know about this"
"No don't know how to tell him"
"Well, you're going to need too, it will also affect him quite a lot as well as you"
"I will soon"
"It'll have to be really soon like tonight, as soon as you've taken the first pill, it's going to change you're hormones, going to make you develop more especially around your chest, you'll be more tired, you'll have sudden mood swings as well as cravings, sudden fainting and dizzy spells, temperatures, sickness and the urge to eat more"
"So basically like being pregnant but I'm not"
"Yes and if Steve get the wrong end of the stick you can imagine the rest"
"Yeah I'll try telling him tonight then"
"Good idea, when do you plan to try conceiving"
"It's tonight, next Friday and then the following two Fridays he's got off and then I think any other points he can manage to squeeze giving his girlfriend a shag in"
"Yeah, I wouldn't try tonight, just relax and let your body get used to them and then maybe try over the weekend and next week"
"Good I didn't really want to try tonight anyway"
"Okay well here they are, 14 bottles to be taken over 2 weeks half of one in the morning rest at night and the pills are to be taken every 4 hours for the same 2 week period"
"Alright thanks" She said shoving the paper bag inside her black designer handbag.
"Okay so if you come back in two weeks we'll see how you're doing, you can take tests if you want too but really you shouldn't get a positive until after about a month of constant treatment but if you do happen to get a positive or if there's any other problems just come see me" The doctor said showing her to the door.
"Yeah I will, thanks"
"No problem just remember to take it easy and tell Steve"
"Yeah I won't be able to not take it easy when Steves gets told anyway"
"Well accept his help, you'll need it"
"Yeah I'm sure I will" She said giving a final smile of thanks to the doctor before heading back up to her and Steve's room. She got in and plonked herself down on the sofa before fishing through her bag for the medicine. She found it a bought it out into the open the whole time debating whether to tell Steve and the only one pro she could think of would be all the extra love and care she would receive from him, but she was a grown women and would do this on her own, so without a seconds hesitation grabbed one tiny little bottle and swung half the contents down her throat before swallowing one of the pills and quickly shoved them back into her handbag as Steve walked in.
"Hey babe" He said hanging up his smart blazer on the coat stand.
"Heya" She replied back hoping he wouldn't realise the sudden effect the drugs were having on her, she was now feeling incredibly nervous and scared of basically everything and so badly wanted to sleep. She hadn't realised how quickly they would take to work so hadn't paid much attention to the doctor and just assumed she had over exaggerated a bit.
"Chelle what's wrong hun" Steve asked sitting down on the couch beside his girlfriend who seemed to be shivering uncontrollably but was dripping in sweat.
"Cold" Was all she could say in the sudden panic state she had found herself in.
"Well look let's get you warmed up" He said gently wrapping the blanket that was draped over the sofa, around her and with that sudden warmth wrapped around her, she fell straight into a deep sleep leaving Steve confused at what was going on.
