So....I don't really have any limitations to what I write here. I don't really care if strangers read my posts. Nobody I know IRL knows I started writing this blog....and I might even censor things if they did. I like being able to say whatever I want and not have to worry what people I know IRL think.

I always hated journal writing in school. Probably for the above reason. The teacher always read the entries.

One of the girls at work had a Dr Seuss quote that I quite like and should probably heed.
"For those that mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind."

So AF made her appearance today. She completely surprised me. I was expecting her since I am back on BCP's but she came with no warning at all. I really don't like seeing her so often. As someone who has dealt with PCOS from the minute I hit puberty I am just not use to seeing her every 3 1/2 weeks.

Now that being said if I was not on BCP's and I was seeing her that often I would probably be thrilled. Thrilled in knowing that my body was working. But now it's just an annoyance. I would take packs back to back but my OB/GYN when I called in for the RX only sent the pharmacy 3 repeats??? I kind of get it. That will take me to mid July sometime and technically I will be "healed" of my rupture and c-section incisions by July 31 and can safely attempt another pregnancy. I never said I wanted to ttc so soon.

I do not intend to go off BCP's. Under the advice of my RE I should stay on until I intend to ttc again. If I go off I would have to convince the ob/gyn to rx Metformin for me. Metformin is good but it is not my "cure all" and likely would not help the condition of my ovaries. So the pill it is. I will be calling the ob/gyn in the next couple of weeks....ugh....very annoying. They are so hard to get through to. Hopefully they will give me enough for the rest of the year at least.

A little update on my friend Kat. She had her retrieval yesterday. They got 21 eggs. As of this morning out of the 21 eggs 13 were mature and ALL 13 fertilized. This is wonderful news. Now they just have to keep growing. Her transfer will probably take place Sunday. I am praying that they get a good number of healthy embies. Enough to transfer and freeze some. I am well aware that IVF does not always work, and that IVF pregnancies are lost too. FX!!

I have the same feeling. It's like

Huh, you. . . again. Didn't we just do this dance?

Great news for your friend. I hear through the grape vine that there will be an IVF clinic here in Edmonton with the new women's hospital. Such a blessing.

Yes it will be wonderful when the IVF clinic opens in Edmonton. It was actually already suppose to have opened. The Fert Clinic moved to their new accomidations back in early 2007 in the community services bldg at RAH. Last I heard though was that they were having trouble finding specialized staff for example embryologists. It would sure make the process so much better for Edmontonians once it opens.
