So we finally got the call from our doctor of a timeline of everything! I have been waiting and waiting for my period to start and finally on 11/11 it did (I am hoping 11/11 is a good sign) Side note: There is a super funny video on TikTok about girls who believe 11/11 is a good sign. So from there, on day 3 (today, 11/13 – Friday, the 13th. Oh shit – maybe this will out balance my lucky 11/11 day – awesome) I start birth control for 10 days. I reminded Craig this morning that the “BC” started today.
Craig – “BC” like you mean birth control? Oh honey, it’s like when we first started dating”. Always such an elegant, smooth talker
I stopped taking birth control right before Craig and I got married back in 2013 so who knew this would be a part of IVF (I sure as hell didn’t). It stops the development and growth of my follicles – HALTED – STOP – YOU MAY NOT PASS GO!
So i’ll do this for 10 days and be back with the next steps. This just reminded me, I need to set a timer on my phone to remind me to the birth control. I was horrible at it for 12 years prior so this is probably a good time to remember to take it.
Side note: taking birth control for so long and never having any “scares” or “close calls” I guess that should of been my first hint something was not normal. Oh well….
