Don't know what to do.... do I start sooner or wait a little bit?

[JadeH92]

Hi ladies, I hope you are all doing well. I have been checking in reading your posts whilst trying to force myself to have a break from infertility.

However, now I'm stuck and was wondering what you ladies would do. So I had my first ever (in years) natural period this week, but this threw me off as I was planning on starting the pill in 2 weeks to start my FET process for the transfer to be end of November.

I am on a short protocol so I take Progynova on day 1 scan on day 10 - 13 usually starting utrogestan on day 15 and transfer between day 17 - 21.

Meaning if I take the pill today and all goes well my transfer we will between the 13 - 18th November (17th which would be day 21 is a Sunday). Meaning OTD will be around 2nd December 2019.

Or

If I wait to see if I have a period of my own again (around the 28th October) and it I don't then start a week on Norethisterone and all goes well my transfer we will between the 26 - 30th November. Meaning OTD will be around 13th December 2019.

I know in the grand scheme of things this is soo minor and most of your probably think, what you being so dramatic for its 12 days difference. But I am now stressing trying to plan everything just to get a bit of control back I think. Also because I have been given the option of starting a week and half earlier it has threw me because I was so organised with it.

The only other thing I am worried about is, if things don't go to plan and things get delayed the clinic is closed over Christmas for a deep clean so it would push me back to the new year... but then would that be a bad thing!

Any advice welcome, although I am aware I sound like a mad woman haha!

OK I will admit I got confused reading those dates lol.. Is it progynova you would be starting today or noreistherone? Xo

Regardless I think it comes down to if you're ready yet? My consultant said 'only start when you're ready to deal with another failure or loss'. The words sounded harsh at the time but I know it's good advice. Only you can know if you're ready and I wish you the best of luck for when you start again 💕💕

Hi Aamiller, sorry for the long reply, I've had a mad few days. Yeah I'm not surprised it confused you... it confused me and I wrote it 🤦‍♀️. By the pill I meant the contraceptive pill (microgynon), I take it to make sure I have a bleed. I started the pill on Thursday 3rd October, because I'm never going to be ready to have another miscarriage and I know that this time is going to be harder than last because I was excited but I know this time I'm going to be more nervous than excited. But this morning I have just realised I have been working it out as if my pill packet has 28 days not 21 and I was working it out so I wouldn't be on when I go away but because I come on 5 days after I finish the packet... my day one will be the first day of my holiday. This process takes over every aspect of your life doesn't it.i hope you are well! xx

Hi.. Aw I'm glad you decided to start things but unfortunate it lands on your holiday but hopefully it will be worth it.

I start again on my next period so it's likely we'll be running pretty close together again depending on if aunt flo plays ball.

Like you I feel very differently this time around! But I hope those feelings might change down the line.

Wishing you all the luck in the world.. Hope we get our happy endings this time xox
