CD#3 - BCPs Suck Ass

I think I like the way IVF#1 screwed up my menstrual cycle. This cycle has been, well, bordering on tolerable. Devoid of cramping, clotting, and most of the unpleasantries. It would be nice if future ones were like this. But wait, it would be nicer if they just disappeared altogether for the next nice months!

So I'm on my second day of BCPs and I already have a headache. J thinks it's weird that I'm already feeling poopy from the meds, but I can only imagine how bad it'll be once the lupron starts.

Watch out.
