Day One

My treatment did not work this last round so I am back to the beginning. I am on day one of my cycle. We were quite disappointed but have to move forward. Last month prior to treatment, I had become ill after our trip and was on a zpack for a week before my shot. I am unsure if this affected my treatment but I worried that I was on medicine during the time of the follicle formation - ultimately, the egg formation. For whatever reason, last month's treatment did not work. I noticed light spotting last night and had full confirmation this morning that I was, in fact, on day one of a new cycle.

I spoke with my treatment nurse this morning and advised her of my updated status. She was very sweet and first asked how I was doing. I am sad and disappointed but am hopeful this round will be the one that works. I lit a candle today and prayed for God to cleanse my body of any thing which could affect my ability to become pregnant and maintain a pregnancy. I prayed for my body to be the perfect vessel to bring our child into this world. I am turning my focus to preparing my body and beginning my new treatment cycle. I will begin on Sunday with 5mg of femara to be taken once a day on days 3 through 7. I will follow that with an HCG shot on day 15.

Tonight, we made plans with friends I have been too tired to see and will treat myself to a glass of wine and maybe a sweetie. I may even have a latte in the morning. After that, I am back on a strict diet and will pray for God to work his miracle in my body.
