......and so it begins!

Finally my period started after 46 days... I am now taking the pill as part of down regs and my stimulation drugs will begin 28th May. All being well egg collection will then be 25th June.

So far taking the pill seems ok but I seem to be having some side effects. I don't know if they are due to the pill alone: I am really tired and feel nauseous after taking them.

It feels a bit weird after all this waiting to be taking drugs that will ultimately (HOPEFULLY) lead to pregnancy and a beautiful baby. I just woke up the other day and thought, 'Right, better take the pill' and that was it. I think it will be much different when injecting though...

Anyone else on contraceptive pill as part of down regs??

The side effects are not so bad after all. I think a lot of it was tiredness. Appetite wise it's not much different although I'm finding I want simpler food (we had beans on toast last night and it tasted divine!!!)...

I'm not sleeping very well lately but I think that's because I'm over tired and a bit stressed from work. I have plans in place though for when those stress levels need to be non-existent. I work with someone who is utterly frustrating and I cannot tell them what I am going through. I have told very few people in fact and while that's ok to a certain degree it just means I rely on this forum to sound off.

So... So far so good....
