I Find it Quite Ironic

That I am back on BCP to try and get pregnant.  I guess this is officially my IVF cycle.

I'm on BCP in preparation for my surgery and every night when i take them i say to my husband sarcastically "Oh no - i better take my BCP - wouldn't want to get pregnant or anything".  Very ironic to be on BCP - it also makes me think back to all the years i paid for BCP when it seems like i really didn't need them all these years  :-/

Tell me about it!  And the times I would carry them in my wallet if we were going out late so I could take it at the same time!  I thought if I missed one night I would get KU...ha ha..turns out I can skip 2 years of pills and still be "safe."

I know! IMO, it's the biggest irony of IVF.

I know!  I actually said the same thing to my DH 5 minutes ago when I took my 1st pill.  It felt VERY strange and I kept thinking "am I really supposed to be doing this?"  It does boggle my brain that in order for us to get KU we have to take the pill.  CRAZY!
