I started BCP yesterday. It’s kind of a screwy, manipulative cycle in which I’m taking BCP for two weeks, stopping to get my period and then going BACK on BCPs, but whatever. I’m starting the IVF cycle.
We also decided to do Option B – and thank you for all of your advice and suggestions! Basically, we viewed the extra 5k as an insurance policy, and it was worth having to pay it back. And if I get pregnant on the first or second cycle (and it sticks) I’ll be much more focused on the pregnancy and baby than five thousand dollars.
Does birth control make anyone else barfy? I took it last night before bed and woke up this morning feeling extremely queasy. And almost 8 hours later I still feel sick. How can I go through injections to the stomach with no side effects and one teensy-weensy pill makes me a blubbery/barfy mess?
Hormones are weird.

Ha ha, that’s funny! Thankfully I didn’t need the BCP. When do you start your injections? Oooooh it’s all very exciting! Best of luck! Can’t wait to hear your story! X
They gave me incredibly terrible headaches. I took them at the end of last year and I hated it. Good luck!
I hated being on BC. it always made me naseaus. The patch seemed to affect me less than the pills.
congrats for starting :). I have my fingers crossed for you… p.s. I would have chosen option B too!!! 😀 xx
