Here we go..................

Cycle day 1 is today and tomorrow we start the dreaded birth control pills!! It has never made sense to me that you take birth control pills to get pregnant. No wonder this has not been successful, we have been going about it the wrong way! I have to take these suckers for just over a month, so we can have my next period arrive just on time so we can transfer on November 6th.

Woohoo let the fun begin!

Third time is a charm?

November 6th.

I know nothing is ever etched in stone when it comes to fertility, but we are shooting for November 6th as our frozen embryo transfer date. With this cycle I will start birth control pills and then stop them on a schedule to bring on my next cycle to coincide with our planned date of transfer. Since we already have frozen blasts, we do not have the worry of matching the donors cycle as well.

I need to have an injection of positive thinking, I am a bit jaded. I went to church today, I could not even bring myself to pray.

I need a little shot of optimism.

To blog or not to blog.....

I am not sure what the answer is to this question.

Pros:
It is somewhat therapeutic to me.
It keep friends and family informed.
It is a nice record of events.
It will be nice to pass on one day to any child potentially resulting from our struggle.
It may help someone else.

Cons
It is a very public display of a very private issue.
The grief I feel is felt by others.
It is time consuming.

I am not sure what I will do at this point.

Your thoughts?
