I'm back. And ready.

I'm back. And it's funny because I remember writing a very similar post here.

The cramps are ravaging my abdomen as we speak but because these are my last natural cramps, I take nothing for them. Not to be a martyr but because right now I want to *feel*. (Ask me again in a couple of hours when it no longer seems like a great idea.)

After just getting home from Hawaii hours ago, I feel a bit overwhelmed at the prospect of IVF right now, but I know that's just because I'm a) a little scared b) a little tired.

Ok, let me look at my schedule. Based on my knowledge of myself, I say my period will arrive in the next 24 hours. I am supposed to start my BCP on day 4 of menses, which will likely be Wed.

From there, it's really up to me. I can choose to extend my BCP (isn't it weird, I'm essentially picking my due date via my BCP???) or take it according to the schedule which is around 20 days right now. I'm aiming NOT to have the egg retrieval and transfer on a Wednesday because childcare is a bit of a nightmare that day, so here's to hoping.

And here's to jumping in, feet uterus first.
