Here we go again.

Today is Day One. Again. With mixed feelings I approach IVF#3. I am trying not to care too much - trying to treat this as just another shot - trying to visualize the positive outcome - and succeeding only in giving myself a stomach ache. While I am excited to begin again, I am not looking forwrd to the bloating and weight gain.

Lately my weight gain has really started to distress me. I am waffling between 146 and 151 on a regular basis this cycle. To put it in perspective - at 21 weeks pregnant with my son I was only 154. The extra weight and lethargy disgust me - but I can't seem to do anything about it. I keep promising myself that tomorrow, next week, next cycle will be better. I will diet better, exercise more...you get the picture. And yet I never seem to get there.

So, with little fanfare and much trepidation, we begin again. Wish us luck.

Hi CJ, nice to meet you, thanks for your comment on my blog. Interesting about the uterine lining co-culture, that's the first I've heard of it. Very best of luck to you in your 3rd IVF, hopefully the 3rd time's the charm!
