The Ugly Pill

I remember now why I hate the pill. Actually, when I was on the pill before I had no idea. It was only after I had quit taking it that I realized what it was doing. It's not that I am all hormonal or anything, it's that AF is dragging on and on and on. For some reason it makes me have a long bleed (eew, yuck i know). I had always thought it was normal. I mean, I was a naive 20 something year old. But when I quit taking them, my bleed went from a light day 1, heavy day 2, medium-light day 3, then spot day 4 and gone! Now, I'm on day 4 and still medium-heavy with no end in sight. Helloooo, don't you know the weekend's here and that's our sex time??? (I say to my body)

Slight Change in Plans

The RE's office called to reschedule my IVF nurse consult, sono HSG and trial transfer. It is now scheduled for Thurs 12/13 at 9:30. It's one more day to wait, but at least I won't have to get up nearly as early to get there.

Day 1

Ok, AF showed up a day early so I get to start BCP's tomorrow (day 2)... WooHoo! Also, I called the RE's office and scheduled the IVF nurse consult, sono HSG and trial transfer for next Wednesday, Dec. 12th at 8:30 am. I live 2 hours away so that means I'll be up at about 4:30 am and must leave the house around 5:30. I know the math doesn't quite add up, but I have to account for the morning rush hour traffic and then getting there a little early too. Now, I've just got to decide whether to take an extra week of BCP's so that I won't be starting stims/injections somewhere between Christmas Day and New Year's Day. I know this may sound a little, um, trivial, but we are going to be out of town during that time. And while I hate to keep waiting and waiting, I also would hate to have to carry it all with me and try to do injections in a strange place. We could cancel the trip, but hopefully it will be the last one for a while b/c we would have our own reason to stay home... see?

Will post more later...
