Taking the month off...

Well my cycle for September came and went. I got my period 4 days after my last HCG shot. I was totally at peace this cycle. I had 2 chemical pregnancies in 4 months. And this month I promised myself not to test.

Being on Femara/Letrozol has been amazing with one exception... The side effect of weight gain. I gained 14 pounds in 4 months. To put it in perspective I gained 17 pounds with my second baby and this time there was nothing cooking in there. It freaked me out and while I thought I had the weight under control clearly I didn't. Femara/Letrozole made me so hungry. It seemed like I couldn't eat enough. As a result of this I started to panic and I felt it be necessary that I take a month off and try to re-group myself. It feels weird not making any trips or taking pills, but it's necessary that I do this for myself. I am 7 days in my cycle and I have lost 10 pounds. So I am happy I made my decision.

Come November we will commence our journey again and be done no later than March and that's' truly stretching it.
