Just another Manic Monday... whoaaaaaa ohhhhhhh.... Otherwise known as the best Monday ever. Let me count the ways!
- I woke up to AF this morning. An hour before my alarm went off (yay!) I'm actually pretty surprised- she arrived crampless and without any particular fanfare. I'm hoping things stay that way because if so, this will be WAY less horrific than I had imagined. Actually, I kindof wish she'd just get on with things so this doesn't drag out too. But whatever. At least I didn't need to take my heating pad to work with me, right?
- My colleague's wife went into labor last night. Plus side? I don't have to listen to people asking him all day if she's popped yet. AND he'll be taking a month off. I can handle that.
- Blood draw took sticking and fishing in both arms today. The bruises are going to be EPIC.
- Leaving the lab for my FIFTH beta, there was a newborn and I lost my shit for the second time in ten minutes (the first was in the blood draw chair).
- Found out my beta dropped from 50 on Thursday, to 44 today. At least we're not actively growing anything anymore. I guess that's some good-ish news, right?
- IVF nurse called to give me my beta results, and seems to think I still need to cycle naturally after this PIO withdrawl bleed. This confuses me immensely. Because I don't cycle. It takes 60 effing days. And we're working with a deadline- I'll be out of the country May 3-13, so it's either April or June, no in between for us. Must. Get. Show. On. Road. If we have to cycle "naturally", I'm def out until June. And I will lose my shit again and get pretty crazy for the next three months.
- Wednesday's ultrasound was converted to a regular old WTF appointment to talk about our next cycle. Specifically, the GET IT DONE ASAP point. And the NO LUPRON point. And the Maybe we can do a saline sono to make sure there isn't anything left up in there point. Any other points I should cover?
- I discovered approximately one thousand mosquito bites on my feet and ankles from wearing flip flops all weekend. Curses!!!
So yeah. Best. Monday. Ever.

Crummy! Wine and chocolate sound like a requirement (or you can insert your favorite drink and sweet). I hope things start looking up for you. Sending lots of hugs!
ReplyDeleteYou make me giggle. I love sarcasm - I use it a lot when talking about IF and TTC.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are able to go with April so we can cycle together. They better get it figured out!
I am glad that AF came for you and didn't draw itself out.
After my IVF debacle, my RE let me start the pill and just stay on until we start IVF#2 (about 6 weeks total). She knows I never cycle on my own, so we decided to just get back on BCP. Hope this helps!
ReplyDelete*sighs sadly and hands you a bottle of merlot*
ReplyDeleteBest. Comment. Ever.
DeleteI second all the 'go drink' comments. When you finish the Jenny's first bottle, I'll hand you a second. Or a box. Whatever your little heart desires!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a crummy day. In addition to wine, I recommend good take-out, bad TV/ slap-stick comedy and a foot rub. A day like that needs to be buried.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry this ended up being the outcome. I hope you can get a plan together to get the show on the road ASAP. I agree with everyone else - grab whatever alcohol you can get your hands on!
