Day 2- off for baseline

Yesterday was the first time in a year I was glad to start my period! Dh was shocked that it was accompianed with tears and a total meltdown this time. I was expecting to start since we hadn't really 'tried' this last month (in the end, we had bd-ed two days before o and then not again which if I were 14 and having sex for the first time, would definitely have gotten me pregnant... but after months of carefully timing intercourse in the best four days before and on ovulation, I knew I wouldn't be this month). So I wasn't surprised ande avoided the pitiful hope and disappointment cycle.

Plus, I was waiting to start so I could start this treatment cycle. Since it's out first treatment cycle it's very exciting for us. Instead of just hoping that something would somehow be different this month, we are actually doing something different. Something that gives us according to my RE a 30% chance of getting pregnant- which is, btw, higher than a fertile person has on any given month so that's pretty awesome.

So today is Day 2 and I'm off for my baseline which I am not stressing about but am anxious to see if my estrogen is still high. Of course hoping it's lower but since they told me I'll be starting shots either way, I'm not obsessing over it as much. Then tomorrow it's my first round of injections- exciting and scary! I think I'll be most nervous for my monitoring on Friday because I don't want either a) only 1 follicle- I was doing that much on my own! b) 4 or more follicles since I agreed with dh to cancel for four (although I really would want to go forward with four or even five but Al is not so keen on the idea of quads!! Nor am i for that matter but I just don't see that happening). Anyway I'm hoping for 2 or 3 eggs which seems line a pretty fine margin for success!

Anyway, I'll post later with my baseline results!
