Monday Monday

I got the "all clear" from my RE this morning. This cycle is ON. I start injecting myself tonight (cd4) with 150iu of gonal-f. Woohoo. We're shaking things up a bit by adding in some estrace on cd6 to help with my lining. I'm staying hopeful and positive. I head back in on Friday to check out the follicles and stuff.

I think my good luck bracelet arrives tomorrow. I'm excited to have a inanimate object I can blame for a sucktacular reproductive experience instead of myself or my poor sweet husband.

Woohoo!

My period started today - a 26 day cycle is something I can totally get behind. I woke up around 4 AM curled up around the dog (she totally hogs the bed) because the cramps were so bad. Puppy Face made everything better, of course.

I go back to the RE on Monday for the usual sono/office visit. I'm calling the pharmacy to reorder the gonal-f and am hoping to squeeze in some acupuncture before Monday.

I kind of like starting a new cycle. There's a renewed sense of hopefullness, at least until that first needle jab in the stomach.

Happy Friday, y'all.
