Estrace Day 3
Hmm, anything to report? Well, my skin is breaking out, but I think that this started before I started to take the estrace. I'm feeling a bit pudgier, too, but I always feel like this towards the end of my cycle.
I'm feeling a bit guilty for not having done the health kick that I did in IVF cycle 1, but there's a part of me that thinks that I did everything conceivable on those first two cycles. And it didn't help me get pregnant. So why bother? The crack whores of the universe get pregnant without sucking down wheat grass juice every single day, so why can't I?
Then my rational self kicks in and says, "OK, it's ok to have some decaf, and soy, and sugar...but in moderation!" So I'm trying to not sweat the small shit this cycle.
We'll see how well this attitude serves me.

post a commentGood for you. I got so sick of adding an obsessive worry about what I eat to the stress of IVF. I let that one go. GL this cycle. Looking forward to following it.
Wow, I did not realise you were cycling again! And we can totally hook up when I am over. E-mail me and I will let you know the dates and we can organise something with Millie.
Good luck with this cycle - I am sooo much more laid back with my diet etc this time myself. I am rooting for your follies!
Oh I hear you. I was totally rule bound for my first IVF and this time I was just careful.
The very best of luck with this cycle.

I think being happy counts for a lot and guess what? decaf and sugar make me way happy! I'm on the same stance at the moment, I did everything one could possibly do and handle in my second round and it didn't get me preggo, so why sweat the small stuff.
