Ready, set and... Countdown!

After I sent the email to the clinic on Wednesday, I got a phone call from them about an hour later. The nurse was quite confused/confusing because according to my notes I started the down regulation for IVF #2 on 26/04! I couldn't believe they actually thought that when it was the same team who told me to wait for my next period and cancelled the treatment after I started bleeding on day 18. She told me that she was going to have a doctor review my notes and that she would call me back later that day. She never did.
I though to myself, they are probably busy, she is definitely going to call me on Thursday or send me an email. No, nothing happened. Rick was starting to get a bit annoyed as well so he said he was going to call them. All good, they are going to let us know. Cool.
Went to walk our new puppy (Alfie, the German sheprador) and didn't hear my phone ring. I had a voicemail saying that the doctor wants me to start oral contraceptive pill as soon as possible and that I will have to go there to collect them if I don't have any. To be honest, birth control pills are not a thing to be found in my cupboard when we are trying to have a baby... Haha.
I got all panicky because I remember when I was younger and on the pill, they have to be taken from day 1. It was too late to go to the clinic so would have to go the next day (today) which would already be my day 3. I thought that we would have to wait for my next cycle AGAIN to plan the treatment. But fortunately the nurses told me that missing just a couple of pills is fine since I'm taking them only to regulate my hormones and make sure that I'll bleed before my baseline scan. So today I'll start taking the pill and I'll be going back to the clinic on 20/06 for endometrial scratch and will start down regulation on 21/06.
