Another delay

Today was supposed to be The Day. Day 21, start of my injections and also endometrial scratch. But nothing of that is happening. The reason is simple. On Friday night, respectively Saturday, I started bleeding. It was my day 18. It wasn't just spotting but probably another period. Or something. I never had any spotting or bleeding in the middle of my cycles before but now it matters. I sent an email to the clinic straight after I knew it wasn't just a day's worth situation. Their reply came just before a nurse called me yesterday to arrange a time slot for the procedure. I had to tell her again what happened and I got redirected to another nurse, Sarah, who told me that a doctor needs to review my notes and will let me know what happens next. It is not great. The scratch needs to be done in luteal phase of the cycle which either didn't happen for me this cycle or happened earlier and it is not advisable to do the scratch while bleeding. Also it affects the start day for my injections. Turns out now we have to wait for my next natural period and start countdown to day 21 from there. That means we won't start treatment cycle #2 for another 7 weeks if everything goes well.

21...20...19...

Yes, officially as of today we can start our countdown to treatment #2! Auntie Flo finally came, 10 days late. I sent an email to the nurses at the clinic straight away and was checking every hour for their reply. It came really quick and it was so detailed. They gave me all the dates, when I have my endometrial scratch, when I start Suprecur, Gonal F, aspirin, higher dose of folic acid and Zomacton, they even gave me an appointment for my first scan. That means there will be no baseline scan this cycle. I guess it's not necessary since I reacted well to all of the drugs and they are keeping them the same for this cycle so there should be everything going well with my body like last time. I can't wait!
