That certainly was a BIG long title wasn't it? Gosh.
So today as we all know, since we can count and because I told you is cycle day 3. On this "monumental day" hubby and I had to get up and drive an hour north so I could be wanded. We arrived at the office at 7:15 only too find its halls darkened. Jacob "yelled" at me as I flipped the switch, thus shedding some much needed light on the situation. Then we waited. Promptly at 7:30 the office lights flipped on, and the lock popped letting the three of us in the hall know that we were now allowed to enter. Shortly after inscribing my name on the sign in sheet the lab tech called me back. After she drew my blood in a highly unconventional way I asked if the ultrasound tech was in? "Not yet, but when she arrives you're first" Great...this is something else I miss about Dr. Kauma's office. If your appointment was at 7:30 you could show up at 7:15 and if the ultrasound tech was ahead of schedule you could be taken back. Not here however...she didn't waltz in until 7:40, and that was only because she thought she had an 8 a.m. appointment. Apparently Christy forgot to tell her that I was going to be there early.
Ok, so I strip naked for the ultrasound and so it begins. In the middle of it, I felt the tell tale warmth. I knew what was happening, but was in a prone position and to be honest there is no way to stop it. When she was done she not only had to wash the wand that YES was covered with a sheath, but also the table, the floor, and the step up too the table with antibiotic/antibacterial cleanser. I was so embarressed. Hopefully the next time I have to appear Aunt Flo has heeded my advice and is headed to someone elses house...someone on the pill who is expecting her...not someone who wants to be pregnant!
The meeting of the Cobalts. I got too meet a fellow blogger last night, her name is Kathy, and we drive the same car...well she has the 4 door sedan, and I have the 2 door coupe Sport...but its the same car dang it. If you click her name you will be taken to her blog which happily has changed from infertility following miscarriage too pregnancy! We figured Fuddruckers was a safe bet. Heck it was Tuesday, who would be at Fuddruckers on a Tuesday? Apparently everyone! They pulled a Subway. Tuesday nights are now bargain night. For $6 you get a 1/2 pound slab of meat, fries, and a drink. Talk about a deal! While we waited for our food..one of us longer than the other...sorry Kathy...we chatted and go too know each other. We sat there for at least 2 hours and got caught up on each others comings and goings that aren't nessessarily part of our blogs. I don't know about her, but I can't wait to do it again...and next time I suppose we can bring the husbands.
Lastly Easter Eggs. Out of curiosity I counted 14 days from CD 1, and it happens to fall on Easter Sunday! Now I know that just because its CD 14 that it doesn't mean that is the day I will ovulate, but wouldn't that be fun. On so many levels...the Christian side for Christ rose from the dead after three days--and while my obtaining a pregnancy wouldn't be at the same caliber as that miracle it would run a close second maybe. On the fun this is me level...I think it would be fun when we finally announce the pregnancy to be able to dye some eggs pink and blue and give them in little baskets along with the ultrasound. I know, I know...stop counting those eggs before the hatch!
I will update later when the nurse calls to tell me the dose of my meds, and when too return. I am hoping for Saturday because I don't think that Jacob would be real thrilled with doing this again this week!
UPDATE...FINALLY AFTER 3 P.M. THE NURSE FINALLY CALLS. I AM TOO BEGIN 100 UNITS OF FOLLISTIM TONIGHT. I WILL CONTINUE ON THIS DOSEAGE THROUGH FRIDAY. ON SATURDAY MORNING I GO IN FOR BLOOD WORK. IF ALL IS WELL I SHALL CONTINUE ON THIS DOSEAGE. IF I GET A PHONE CALL WE SHALL CHANGE THE DOSAGE. SUNDAY WILL REMAIN THE SAME AS SATURDAY. ON MONDAY I WILL GO BACK IN FOR ADDITIONAL BLOOD WORK, AND I WILL IMAGINE THAT AT THIS POINT WE WILL ADD MY GANIRELIX. AND YES FOLKS...I WAS HYPER AND PARANOID FOR THOSE HOURS BETWEEN LUNCH AND THE PHONE CALL....

I love dying Easter eggs. I have to go buy my eg dye. I am glad you had a good time. Next time if we go to Fuddruckers, it shouldn't be Tuesday night cause it was s zii there last night.
Congrats on your first appointment this cycle.
I have been in your shoes as well as many others regarding AF causing a problem. Just know that the techs are used to it.
Good luck with your meds. I'll be sending positive vibes your way as well as praying.
