And So It Begins

AF arrived, slowly but surely, two days after my last post. No surprise there. So now I have embarked on the amazing journey of IVF, nervous, anxious, and full of a nice mixture of excitement and dread. The first step, interestingly enough, is birth control pills. Yes, that's right. I am on the pill. I honestly didn't think I'd ever swallow another BCP in my life, but certainly not in the midst of TTC. That's how it goes though.

Next step: I have a hysteroscopy scheduled for Tuesday, which is a little exploratory procedure to make sure there's nothing in my uterus which may be offensive to innocent little embryos, such as fibroids, polyps, tumors, aliens, etc. Then we have a cycle review Friday and a nurse will come to our house Friday evening for an injections lesson. Super fun. I will take my first injection that night, which I am assuming will be Lupron. From that point on I will have daily encounters with needles, and boy am I looking forward to it.

So, that's the latest. Things should get more exciting in the weeks to come, so I will update accordingly.
