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.
