A New Start

Well today was my last day of birth control pills, so begins try #2. For those of you who don't know when you start IVF they put you on birth control pills (so ironic) to help regulate your cycle. So I go in a couple days for my baseline appt and then start injections next week.

I was just thinking ahead while in the shower this morning that the month of June will be chaotic between IVF, the (dreaded) two week wait and going on vacation. But then I had a terrible thought what if this cycle again gets cancelled and/or converted to an IUI again!  With our insurance we have approx two chances for full IVF cycles. And I would hate to keep spending insurance monies on possibilities that get changed. I suppose better than not being able to have the possibility at all.

So I'm pushing those thoughts aside and going to keep thinking positive. I've read that the first cycle is a kind of trial and error, albeit an expensive one! And my doctor did say that he initially put me on basic cocktail of drugs to see how I would respond.

The plan this time around is to be on Repronex (shot), Follistim (shot) and Dexamethasone (pill).  Hopefully I'll have a better reaction and produce more follies this time around!
