Update on my decision
Thank you so much for the encouraging words the other day. It made me feel better hearing all of your support!! So, we decided to go ahead with August!! So, I'm back on BCP's (UGH - making me sooooo nauseous) for 19 days. I really hate how most clinics make you get on BCP's to regulate everyone's cycles. I understand that they don't want to be doing retrievals and transfers at all times during the month, but I hate how we can already count this month out of trying naturally. I was on BCP's the month of Feb (before retreival), also the month of April (before first FET) and now again. So, basically I've been on BCP's 1/2 of this year and really haven't been able to try naturally. But, I guess that is what you sign up for. Sorry for the vent. I really hate BCP's.
I feel like I'm thinking about this FET more positively and have been finally able to accept the last BFN. This is getting me all excited again!! I know my RE isn't "happy" with us doing this in August, but I really don't see why not. It just might make appointments awkward, but who am I kidding - my RE doesn't even remember the conversation we had last week, so there is no why he will remember. The nurse will though and she's not very friendly. If this doesn't work, we will try naturally after it and will look for a new clinic. My DH reconnected with a friend from college and found out that his friend is a resident at a fertiltiy clinic within a hospital here, so he's been answering all the questions for us. Something tells me we might go with his clinic next! Although I really hope we don't have to make that decision!!
DH and I are going back to his hometown this weekend. WE will be hitting up a winery (while I can!) and visiting with his parents. The drive is about 2 hours and it's a small town, which actually makes the weekend very relaxing! I'm excited! I also had a great workout in this morning and feel so energized :).
Hope you all have a great weekend!

Its awesome to know you have found some light in the journey and are able to experience some of the excitement that comes along with \"baby making\". Being on the IF journey we know how fleeting those feelings can be, so enjoy them while you got them and don\'t let some cranky dr or nurse steal your moment of joy!
You\'re weekend sounds like exactly what you need to continue to renew your mind and heart before next months whirlwind! Enjoy the wine and the R and R :)
I am so with you on the BCP\'s! I have been on them 3 times for IVF and I hated them! I always had the worst headaches and was a bit bitchy at times. At least your not on them for too long! I am sure you must feel better making this decision and moving forward! And hey who cares what your RE thinks, it is your decision and your body! Best of luck this round, hopefully you won\'t even need that other clinic! :)
Yay! Glad you came up with a decision that you are comfy with. And your RE had no reason for you not to move forward with August other than clearing your head. So I think its a great plan! Good luck! Sorry about the BCPs not being friendly though.
Take me to the winery!! Ahh I\'m jealous. I\'m glad you\'ve made a decision, and I\'m glad you decided on August. It really sounded like you were trying to talk yourself out if it so I\'m happy to hear that you\'re trusting your gut. And I hear you on BCPs, they always make me feel miserable!
Glad to hear you have a plan! That always helps:) wishing you lots of luck and a BFP this next time! Enjoy your weekend:)
Funny how you with IF we are never really TTC every month. With my problems,my RE has to put ib an IUD after surgery. In the past year, I\'ve used 5 when 1 is good for 5 years.
I hope you start feeling better and I\'m sure your RE won\'t remember you crying snd telling you you need a break.
