Dear AF, You may arrive now.

So. My last AF was about March 24th. I started BCP on March 27th. My last pill I took was on April 10th. This was one week ahead of schedule, I technically had one more week, and my last pill was supposed to have been on April 16th. If you want to know why I stopped early - that story is in previous posts.

So here I am..  3 full weeks AFTER stopping BCP. AF should have been here, on schedule, this time last week. Or sooner.

I haven't been on BCP since I did my IVF in 2008. I was on them for a short period of time.. should it have affected me this much? I mean, really? I really don't know.

So.. if anyone out there reading this has some insight, I'd muchly appreciate it. I have tried the 'tricks' to get AF to come, so... yeah. No clue. I could go get a HPT, but that requires money.

I called my nurse at Shady Grove and left a message.. so we'll see what she says..


In other news, we are busy bees packing up the house getting ready to move to Western Pennsylvania. Only 4 days left.. then we leave Saturday afternoon.

So.Freaking.Hungry!

Oh geez. So, my plan was to watch what i eat, try to lose another 5lbs before starting my meds. WELL - the stupid BCP are making me hungry. I constantly feel hungry. If I eat, I feel full for a short while, then hungry again! THIS IS NOT GOOD. I've gained 3lbs. I have GOT to get a hold of myself. I know once I start my injections, I'm going to gain weight. I just cannot allow myself to put on so much weight - I've been soooo good about losing the weight I have, and now the BCP is screwing it all up.

Yes, I'm aware that when I get pregnant, I'm going to gain weight, but I'd rather wait until I AM pregnant before I start. No need to rush that sort of thing.

Anyhow, I just needed to complain a bit. and say this week, I may just have to go on a semi-food strike. LOL

BCP D1

Well folks, today I started BCP. So, 21 days of that and then we start Gonal F. I'll get my full protocol once the insurance authorization comes in, which should be within the next week.

Just wanted to update on what is going on!
