CD22: Waiting…

Well, I am on my 12th day of Loestrin birth control pills.

The good thing is that I feel better with these pills than Femco. I have lesser bloating and sluggishness. I still do feel tenderness in the breasts and some random dull heaviness on the lower front and back pelvis. They are relatively less in intensity though.

I’m scheduled to go back for an ultrasound on Thursday 6/26. I think that is to see if my ovaries and follicles have “shrunk” back enough to start with Follistim again. I hope they have gone back to baseline size so we can begin soon.

I have mixed emotions while waiting - dreading the worse case, yet hoping for the better case. It’s good that I have my time balanced with the physical demands of managing my household while blogging and doing Bible study. These keep me off from obsessing about the situation.

The blogging actually help me process information so that I can react more rationally. The Bible study helps me find new discoveries to trust the Lord. For after all, He is the “peace that passes all understanding”!

How about you? How do you handle the waiting?
