The #3 in the top 3 things not to say to someone doing IVF. Let's review: 1) Just relax and take a vacation 2) Try not to think about it and yes, you guessed it.... 3) At least you get to have fun trying.
Yeah, well, there is no fun "trying" in IVF. Most of the time, you have so many extreme symptoms and discomfort that bodily contact is strictly out of the question (if you know what's good for you!). The rest of the time, you have to use condoms and try NOT to get pregnant or take antibiotics to kill any bacteria or germs. I always knew boys had cooties but this is a bit over the top. And, since the IVF suppression cycle requires you to take birth control pills (BCPs) for a few weeks, this causes you to start spotting on and off the entire time.
So there's a small time frame when you're finished your last cycle (after a week of cramps from hell) and not fully into the next where you can be normal for a just a second. It's that point where your ovaries are no longer the size of tennis balls and your boobs feel normal again. You maybe, just maybe would consider letting someone touch them.
So I'm in "the window" RIGHT NOW, and then the nurse tells me to go to the store and buy Monistat vaginal yeast infection cream and use it for 3 days. really????????????????? ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!! seriously???????????? I think it has something to do with the coculture but damn, can't they just give me a pill?
The fertility gods laugh and laugh.........bastards!
So, there is definitely no sex in the champagne room for us right now. sigh
