Making up for lost time - the last 2 months

Well - here we are again. I was MIA for quite awhile learning how to not be pregnant or TTC there for awhile. I definitely enjoyed being pregnant a whole lot more than TTC! ;-) Alas, to get to that wonderful pregnancy state again - we must go through IVF again. After my D&E on August. 30th I had to wait for my next period before starting anything again. Let me tell you - that was the roughest time I think I've ever had. Between my hormones going absolutely crazy (and I can't guarantee that they're back to normal yet!!) and wanting my period to get here so I could be pregnant again....it was rough. I was an emotional wreck - very up and down. Physically I started feeling better about 2 weeks after the D&E. It was sad not to feel pregnant anymore but in a crazy way I felt better than I had in months! I contribute that to I'd been on so many different kinds of hormones (injectibles) and between the IUI's and the IVF my poor ovaries had been swollen for months on end. I was able to walk normally, exercise eventually, and could eat whatever I wanted without feeling sick! It was amazing! I decided to enjoy the time because I fully intend to be happily unable to eat anything I want and completely unable to drink alcohol for a good 9 months! ;-) SO I waited for my period....and waited.....and waited. Finally when I was about to call my doc because I thought I was losing my mind from the worst case of PMS I'd ever had and my period nowhere in sight...guess who showed up on our anniversary (Oct 15th)!! YEP - that's right - good ol' Aunt Flo! How I'd missed her. Shortly after I got a visit from the good witch (she's only good on the month's you want her to come!!) I finally started feeling like myself again - emotionally. Well kind of. LOL I'm still pretty emotional. Anyway - I was praying they'd put me on birth control pills (BCP) so I wouldn't have to endure a long cycle again. Thankfully they did! I had to do a saline sono HSG before I could be cleared for our FET. I went in for that and besides a little cramping it wasn't bad at all. My doc said my uterus was "beautiful". I felt so proud! No scar tissue, nothing bad looking - just beautiful. THANK goodness! SO then I got to wait for another AF (Aunt Flo) visit. Seems like the story of our lives when we're trying to get to get "in cycle".
