This has been the hardest week ever! I started the placebo week of birth control pills a week ago yesterday. I had a horrible headache on Monday and started spotting. I was relieved to finally be getting this show on the road. WRONG!! I stopped spotting. I then continued to spot on and off all week. On Friday, I decided to call the office and low and behold, Aunt Flo (AF)looked like she was on her way. I went about my day at work and when I got home, AF almost disappeared. I was so distraught last night. I was planning on going to have an ultrasound (US) on Monday figuring Saturday would be Cycle Day 1. Luckily, I started flowing today as expected. Sadly, I lost a LOT of sleep last night over this.
Trying to figure out Day 1 of your period is the hardest thing ever especially in someone who has never been regular. I also had taken a different BCP this time and had no idea how my body would respond. I would be so upset if I went to the RE's office and they told me I had missed Day 3 of my period and would have to sit out a cycle. The waiting is so damn hard. You wait to start, wait for lab work, wait for your US, wait for a call to see what meds to take that day, wait for your procedure then wait to see if you are pregnant. I am not a patient person. I like action and results.
So with fingers crossed I will enjoy the rest of my weekend and go in on Monday to see what the old ovaries look like. I am going to think positive and plan on starting my Follistim on Monday. It's been a while since I've had to give myself an injection. At least then I feel like I'm doing something productive.
