11/10/2017 0 Comments what a time!I've been super busy, so I haven't updated with the news that we started the November cycle! I started birth control on Monday (today is Friday), so I've been on it for 4.5 days now. I don't know if it's residual hormones, the new BCP (birth control pills) or a mixture of both, but I am emotional AF today. I have been fighting off tears for the last hour and a half. It's what I call a "crying day" and I usually can keep my emotions in check during the workday, but today I'm really struggling.
Sometimes I wonder if there's a positive to being this emotional - maybe I'm just super in touch with my feels right now. Maybe it should fuel some kind of artistic endeavor. Philosophical questions for another time, I guess. So the process goes something like this: Nov 4 - Day 1 Nov 6 - Day 3, start hormones (BCP) Nov 20 - monitoring starts (u/s), take last BCP Nov 25 - Assigned Day 3, start injections (Gonal+Menopur) Nov 29 - Start stims (stimulates ovulation) Dec 2 - Day 10, B/US (blood + ultrasound), this is when we start monitoring to see when I'm ready for retrieval. This could be the day I take my trigger shot, which means egg retrieval will be the next day (which would be great, because it's a Sunday and I wouldn't have to take the day off!) Five days after egg retrieval, (about that), we put two embryos back in my uterus and that's how I get PREGNANT! Very exciting. This will be the one. This will be the one. Now, to get through this day of meetings without bursting into tears.
