Getting ready
Yesterday was my last day of BCP's and I am so happy about that (so is DH!). BCP's made me nauseous, gave me insomnia and made me super moody. So, hopefully AF will come tomorrow and I will get to go in to see my RE before the weekend to get my protocol. There are a few additional things he wants to do this FET, so I'm ready to hear what. I do know that he wants to up my estrogen to hopefully make my lining thicker. Also, there was some kind of shot that he wanted to give me/put me on and I cannot remember why.
I am more optimistic this time, which I think is a good sign. I also had a weird pregnancy dream just last week where I drempt the whole finding out I was pregnant and everything. That has to be a good sign!! I stopped acupuncture after my last fail. I did acupuncture for 2 IUI's, IVF retrieval, and FET #1. All failed. So, I decided to put my $$ towards seeing a chiropractor. I'm a runner and was a soccer player through college and still play now. Due to those hard impact sports/activiities, I've had alignment issues and lower back pain. There are chiropractors who specialized in fertility - getting the pelvis area to line up OK. I had an Xray about a year ago that showed how tilted my pelvis is. So, I've been seeing someone who is helping re-align me hopefully that will help! Also, the week leading up to FET #1, I had so many events and drank more than I am used to. I didn't get drunk, but probably had 1-3 drinks 5 out of the 7 days leading up to the FET. While this may not have been a factor, I'm going to try to not have a drink a week leading up. We will see how my nerves are though!
I am so ready to get this party started and so badly want this BFP, but I also know that I need to give it all to God and hopefully it is in his plans as well. I have control issues (not psycho control but more like I have to be able to control the outcome and I'm kind of a perfectionist) and need to just face the fact that I'm not in control of this outcome, but I will do whatever I have to to help.
Thanks for reading :)

I\'m psycho controlling, but I understand what you mean :-) It\'s a gift and curse wrapped in one. So glad you are more positive this time around!! The chiro idea sounds really good. You\'ll be getting more benefit to it than just infertility as well, which makes it a double bonus. YAY for BCPs being over!!! I hate them too, which is why I couldn\'t be on them even when I was trying to prevent pregnancy. I\'m feeling really good about this cycle!!
So glad you are free from the BCP\'s!!! I can\'t stand them either, they make me feel horrible and it makes me so made that when I look back now I probably never needed to be on them in the first place!!! I damn well won\'t be taking them ever again! haha
So glad you are feeling optimistic and looking forward to hearing what the dr has to say after your next appointment!
Keeping my fingers toes and tattas crossed that this will be the round that gets you a BFP!!!
Yay for no more BCPs! I love your attitude going into this FET and also that your RE is switching up your protocol a little bit! Fingers are crossed for you! Good luck!
Yay for being done with BCPs! Fingers and toes crossed for a BFP!
I hate BCP\'s too and was always so glad when they were done, yay for you! I will be curious as you progress what your RE has you on for your FET, as mine wants to do it naturally but I want to make sure I fully understand it all. Oh and yeah I get the controlling thing, we have no control really over this so it sucks! It took me a long time to come to terms with that, I like everything neat and tidy and this just is not! Hoping this will be your BFP!!! :)
Glad the BCP\'s are done for you - I hate them too. I went off them before we even started trying and I couldn\'t have been happier. Glad you have a good positive outlook and hoping for a BFP for you!!!!!
Glad BCP is over and that your ready for your next step. Hope this one brings you your BFP soon.
