Yesterday was a shock to my system to say the least! And I have learned one massive lesson from it...NEVER, EVER take anything for granted when it comes to infertility or treatment cycles!
I am fairly lucky in that AF is punctual. I know that 31 days after her last visit, she will show up again. I know that she likes to be the centre of attention, so if I have some stress going on, she sometimes waits a couple of days so I can pay her the true attention she feels she deserves, but she is not one for showing up early.
She has recently tortured me, showing up 6 days late when I just wanted to get this show on the road, but yesterday was her ultimate show-piece! Showing up 12 days early!!!
I know that I am still going on with the cycle, but this has been a hiccup I, one, wasn't expecting; and two, didn't need. I now have to wait until 26th April for my down reg scan to see if this cycle is a no starter. Yay to 3 weeks of injections, with the uncertainty that this is going to be worth it anyway.
So here is the lesson I learned yesterday, and which I will share with you - when you are dealing with infertility, always expect the unexpected. Of course this can be positive, for example, receiving a BFP when you didn't have any hint it was on it's way; it might be that one injection doesn't sting as much as the rest; or AF deciding to do her own thing. Whatever it is, you will come through the other end. xx
That is a good lesson and one we IFs should embrace! Thanks for sharing and you're right, we will all come out the other end.
ReplyDeleteI find that this has made me become more laid back in other areas of my life too so that's got to be a positive! xx
