CD 2 BCP
So, I decided that yesterday was definitely cd 2. I always get HORRIBLE cramps on cd two. It sucked getting the cramps but it helped make my decision to start bcp. I also decided to take them at night. I felt pretty proud of myself for thinking of that. Sort of past cd2, almost to cd3. So today would officially be cd2.
I called my Re like I was supposed to. Unfortunately he's out of the office until next Monday. The nurse said if I don't hear from them by Wed. I should give them a call for my protocol. She did tell me to have Dh get is sperm analysis and both of us need to update our infectious diseases blood work. Poor Dh is afraid he's going to pass out. I told him it was a good thing that he's not the one who has to give himself shots in the stomach. Please, he's got it easy.
I've been doing my meditation's every night. I keep falling asleep. I guess I'll try to do them earlier. I'm finding that I'm more relaxed during the day. So, I guess it helps. It's kind of boring doing the same one over and over. It will be nice when I can move onto the next one.
Everything else is going great. Hurry up and wait like it always is.
I'm going to try to blog every day. I wish I had last time. Even if I don't have much to say.
So, until next time.

Here We Go!
I hate seasonal allergies.
On to other things. I started spotting yesterday. Never been so excited to spot. Went to fill my bcp px this afternoon. The pharm. tech looks at the px and says, "Which Dr. scribbled this signature down here?" Hello! Can you not read? It says his name and the name of the clinic at the top. I was so afraid she was going to read it out loud. Ugh. People.
I am one fierce biotch today.
Re said to start bcp on day 2 or 3. Yes. I'm stressing trying to decide which day to start. Does he not know he can't give me this kind of decision to make? I just got done telling him how I stress over EVERYTHING. Day 2 or 3, 2 or 3, 2 or 3 keeps going through my head. What will it be? Last cycle, AF started in the middle of the day? I don't know. All I know is when I called the nurse, she told me to start bcp the next day. So, ,maybe I'll start tomorrow if I have full on AF by tonight. Ugh. Just tell me a day please. Thanks. :)

A New Beginning
So yesterday was the first day of spring. We also had our consult for IVF #2 yesterday. What a nice fresh start.
The appt. went well. We are going to increase my FSH to get more follies. Instead of starting with 2/2. We are going to go with 3/2. He mentioned that I had a 'beautiful' embryo last time so he was excited about that. Made me feel good. We are also going to go all ICSI this time. Last time, the natural embies didn't turn out as well as the ICSI embies.
We also talked about positive thinking. He wants to me to set aside 5 - 10 minutes every morning for myself. He wants me to close my eyes, breath and picture myself pregnant. I told him it was funny that he mentioned that because the night before, I had found some fertility meditations that I was very interested in . I mentioned how I have problems relaxing and that this is something that could really help me. So, as hard as it is for me to do, I'm on this new journey of positive thinking. I actually feel better already. BTW, he used to use the mediation's I had found. :)
What else? I asked about acupuncture and he said that if it came down between acupuncture and positive thinking, he would go with positive thinking. He said there are benefits to acu. but in the long run, positive thinking is something that you will carry with you. So, now I won't have to worry about how I'm going to do acu. with my RE over 2 hours away.
No prenatal vitamins. I asked about supplements and he said, "No. Just one baby aspirin a day." I told him that I was taking regular Centrum vitamins and he said that was perfect. It's nice to not have to worry about taking all of these things. What a relief!
So, in about two weeks I'll start bcp! I'll give my RE a call and get my schedule! Oh my goodness. This is so exciting and scary at the same time. I can't let myself be scared. This is going to work. I will be pregnant and I will have a child.
