My FS clinic closed for the Christmas break, they were still opening for limited hours and the after hours phone line was still open but they weren't starting any new cycles until they offically reopened on the 6th of January.
My period was due on the 8th of January which would've been perfect timing to start our first IVF+ICSI cycle. When we saw our nurse back in November she let me know that once I get my period in January I am to call and then come in that day or the day after for a blood test and a scan. I'll also pick up my medication that day as I'm not doing any suppresion with birth control for this cycle. I'm just starting with stims.
But unfortunately my uterus had other plans and I woke up on New Years Day to spotting, which continued into Thursday and today (Friday) my period is definitely here. So there won't be a January cycle for us, instead it'll be sometime in February.
I thought I would be more upset about my period arriving a week early, but honestly I'm not surprised. I should've expected this to happen, the timing was just too perfect. I had a textbook 28 day cycle this month. Twenty-eight days! In the two years I've been taking note of my cycle I have never had a 28 day one.
I kind of feel as if everything that can go wrong, has gone wrong. Friends and family keep asking me if I'm excited to start IVF but I'm not and it's because of things like this. Each time we have a plan in place something comes up and derails or changes the plans.
This is just the start of 2014, if things are already going wrong this early into the game I'm scared of what is to come. 2014 was meant to be a good year, a fresh start, a new outlook to our challenges but so far it's turning out to be a lot like 2013.
