Auntie Flo, come back

I was still only counting down to next Auntie Flo's visit when she came. A week early actually. I wasn't sure if that's good or bad but was happy that the countdown could finally start again. But as quick as she came, she left. Two days' visit, nothing more. There definitely wasn't enough to call it a full flow so couldn't let the clinic know. Hopefully she comes next week completely as expected.

IVF #2 ahead

So we went to the clinic today for the follow up appointment. They talked us through the last cycle and told us what actually happened and what we can do differently next time. My mistake was that I thought I could start down regulation in 3 weeks but apparently I have to wait for my next period first because I only had post treatment bleed. So last Saturday wasn't day 1. Oh well.

They are going to leave buserelin as down regulation drug and Gonal F as stimulation drug with the same doses as well but I'm going to have a few more injections, I think the doctor said 3 in total during the stimulation phase to improve the quality and maturity of my eggs (sorry, I forgot the name). I'll be taking aspirin as well. She also offered me some information about endometrial scratching and intralipid infusion. There is not much evidence that it definitely works but it does improve the pregnancy rates. To be honest, I want to do anything there is just to make it work as soon as possible so we can hold our bundle of joy in our arms sooner.
