Let's get this party started!

Listening to: Arizona by Kings of Leon

We went to Charlotte this past weekend to spend time with our friends and their little girl.  I spotted slightly most of the weekend but it was sporadic so I didn't think anything about it.  Monday morning, the spotting was a little bit more frequent and I still had two more doses of Prometrium to take.  I called my RE's office to speak to the nurse and she told me to just go ahead and stop taking them...evidently, some women start their periods while taking them so it was perfectly normal to be spotting.  When I took progesterone before, I always ended up taking all the pills and then waiting for my period to start 3 to 5 days later and I was expecting the same thing with this medicine.  Turns out I was wrong...but it's nice to be wrong because Prometrium made me feel really weird and tired so not taking it meant no side effects!  So, I officially started my period last night and called my RE's office again to schedule my baseline ultrasound for tomorrow morning at 9 AM.  Tomorrow's appointment is just to make sure that there are no cysts so it shouldn't be too big of a deal.

So, what does this mean? Yesterday was cd1 and tomorrow will be cd3 which means I start taking the Letrozole tomorrow night! I will be taking it cd3 to cd7 and then on cd7 I start doing the FSH injections and continue those to cd10.  On cd10, I go in for the ultrasound to see what's going on and they tell me how many more days to continue the injections.  Finally.  We're finally getting somewhere.  Excited doesn't even begin to accurately describe the emotion I'm feeling right now!
