Oct. 23

So, the clinic I go to recently changed it's FET protocol to include oral Estrace every day instead of Estradial valerate injections twice weekly. So, this is my first time taking Estrace and I feel like it might be giving me major food aversions. My husband makes this awesome vegetarian tortilla soup and we had it last week. I usually love it but I could barely choke it down and now whenever I see the leftovers in the fridge my stomach gets a little queasy. We are supposed to have chicken tacos tonight and I'm not sure that sounds very good, either. I just want to eat fruit and veggies and drink water. 

I did a quick Google search for food aversions and Estrace and am not yielding overwhelming results, but that has got to be what's causing it. I haven't started taking any other new meds lately. REALLY though, I should be studying while my son is still at his after school program, but instead I'm doing IVF related web searches because I can't concentrate on much else these days.

Your plans mean nothing.

So we just got back from our scheduling appointment with the FET coordinator and it turns out we won't be doing the actual embryo transfer until the middle of December... like, the 18th. I was NOT planning to have a transfer that late. This puts us at a due date of around September 5th. I was maybe kind of okay with having a due date of mid-August, but September 5th is REEEEALLY pushing it. I will likely have my 3rd semester nursing program orientation on the 22nd, and because 3rd semester classes are on Wednesdays, I probably won't have class until the 29th. However, I really did not want to be due after the semester starts. This is really, really difficult. AND, if for some reason I don't start my period within 4 days of ending the progesterone from my mock cycle... not only will I not get to visit my mom for Thanksgiving (due to baseline ultrasound scheduling), we will likely not make the cut off for transfer before the clinic lab closes for the Christmas holiday... wh...
