It’s been a busy couple of weeks!
So, as mentioned, I started my birth control pill on February 25th. The BCP was weird – I felt like I was a teen again, setting an alarm to make sure I remembered to take my pill each day at the same time. My body didn’t love the pill – I spotted randomly, especially after BD which is weird. I guess I expected that, but I did not expect the freakin infection that I would get because my body is hormonally confused. I’m fighting that bugger off as quickly as humanly possible. I called the nurses over the weekend and they said that taking that one day pill won’t hurt anything at this point, and won’t slow us down in our schedule. Done – pill, now work your magic!
So, 16 days later, and more waiting. My last dose was on the 12th, and I just got AF yesterday. Things are on target.
My appointment at the fertility clinic is tomorrow. It will start off with an ultrasound to see what is happening with that ugly left-side cyst. Gosh, I am so hoping that its gone. Please be gone! I don’t think I can handle another set back. But truth be told, I’m actually feeling positive. I *feel* like we will be going ahead, and I *feel* like this appointment will be a happy one. After the ultrasound we will be meeting with the doctor again to discuss the news or no-news, and then with the nurse to review meds.
If it’s a go-ahead, stims start on Wednesday, and I will leave tomorrow with my first batch of meds.
I’m feeling good.
The weird thing – it seems like all the roadblocks and forced breaks have been for the best – totally confirming that everything happens for a reason. Within the past two months Gav and I got really really sick (healthy now thank goodness!), got on a plan with the acupuncturist, and did our taxes (getting some money back which will definitely help!). The driving conditions on the Coquihalla are much better now, and when we are in Vancouver, we can anticipate warmer temperatures. I’ve also been able to figure out a plan for work, and and and! This is around the time of Easter which means that I have to take two less days off work.
Everything happens for a reason, and I’m feeling good.
