After an additional month of waiting were finally able to start the hormone regiment for our IVF treatment. After an unexpected internal ultrasound I was told to begin taking the birth control pills. I know it sounds odd to be trying to conceive and taking B.C. pills but that's what i'm doing.
I was pretty leery about the birth control pills because this little box always use to mean I would be spending a lot of mornings hanging over this...
and many nights laying in bed wishing it was morning so I could hang over the toilet. But not this morning, I slept for a solid 9 hours without a queasy thought, and woke up like this...
Not one thought of throwing up. It was glorious! I can only hope that this is a sign of how things are to go from here on out. In two weeks I will start the next hormone, lupron. I will keep my fingers crossed that the next round leaves me with as big a smile.
( In the interest of being completely truthful this isn't what I look like when I wake up. But if you actually saw what I looked like when I did wake up you would not believe that I actually felt good this morning. )
