Oh, the irony is killing me. Sheryl Crow never sang about taking birth control pills in order to conceive. After our IVF orientation session today, we picked up our prescriptions. And to add more humor to the situation, the pharmacist-in-training advised me that the antibiotic I'm taking may interfere with the effectiveness of birth control pills. I'm sure she wondered why I snorted.
Tomorrow is the official start of this fun ride. Cycle day 3. In the morning, I will be going for my FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) test. A cycle day 3 FSH test is an indicator of ovarian reserve (ie. how old your eggs are). It helps the doctor to determine your IVF protocol (what doses of meds to start you on, etc).
Brad and I also both start antibiotics tomorrow. We have to take them twice daily and the nurse warned that they're killer on your stomach, so they should be taken with a full meal. Should be fun times.
