Today we both started taking the antibiotic pills today. We will take them twice a day for 7 days. I also started taking birth control pills. Seems odd to take birth control pills when trying to get pregnant, but they say it's to suppress the hormones and make my body crave ovulation even more. I also called the doctor's office to officially get this IVF ball rolling. They are going to create our calendar and I should hear from the nurses later this week. They will schedule a "sounding" appointment with me - not quite sure what that is - but I'm sure I will find out.
I thought you might find this interesting. Healthline has compiled a list of the Effects of Birth Control in a visual graphic and I thought you and your readers would be interested in seeing the information.
You can check out the information at http://www.healthline.com/health/birth-control-effects-on-body We’ve had good feedback about the article and we think it will benefit your readers by giving them med-reviewed information in a visual way.
If you think this information is a good fit for your audience would you share it on your site, http://ourivfjourney.weebly.com/1/post/2010/12/today-is-day-3.html , or social media?
Let me know what you think and have a great week.
All the best,

My husband and I got married in 2005 and tried to start our family back in January 2008. We started our 1st round of in-vitro in December 2010 - which is when this blog was started. Despite a near perfect cycle, it resulted in a negative pregnancy test in February 2011. We were fortunate to get 6 extra embryos from that cycle that were frozen. In March 2011 we started a Frozen Embryo Transfer cycle. Despite another great cycle (on paper), all 6 of our frozen embryos had to be thawed to get 2 good ones for transfer - which failed to result in a pregnancy. In 2012, we took the first half of the year off and then tried a couple rounds of IUI with and without fertility shots - still no baby. In 2013, we did our 2nd round of in-vitro with my sister offering to be our gestational carrier. We ended up transferring 2 embryos into each of us and were blessed to welcome 4 babies in October 2013.
