CD4: Pussy Pops and other Wonders

AF came a day late making for a 28 day, picture perfect cycle, but I'm usually a 26 or 27 day person. I emailed Dr. Moustache's office to notify them that AF arrived and they quickly set about putting together my schedule for the upcoming FET. Being that it's been awhile since my last CD3 FSH/E2, I begged for a labslip to test this, and they faxed one on over pronto. They put 256.9 down as the ICD-9 code, and I looked it up here at this tres cool site that converts your ICD-9 codes to something legible. 256.9 is the code for "unspecified ovarian dysfunction", and not anything related to infertility, so BC PPO should pay for this test without question. I'll have to refer back to the huge list of services that Dr. Moustache has done for us thus far and see what sort of ICD-9 codes he's been using. Perhaps we'll be able to get some of the last cycle paid for. That would be sweet, but I realize how unlikely it is. Knowing him, he used a code that explicity states, "IVF Cycle for the Terminally Infertile".

Yesterday nurse J emailed that I should start to use my viagra pussy pops every six hours. My response to her was something in the order of, "Okay....but I have my period. You know, I just don't see how those things are going to stay in there since my innards are basically sliding out." She emailed back, "Just lay down for 30 minutes." Okay, I can do that. But these things are disgusting. They don't even melt like the progesterone ones do. The progesterone ones liquify to a point one could assume that the medication in them really does reach your mucous membranes. These viagra ones slide out in a single waxy mass, and I have to wonder if the medicine in them is really reaching me or not. It's a holiday today so I can't telephone up the pharmacist to gripe about this, so until tomorrow I'll continue on with them and and hope that they are doing their job. It will be an interesting conversation for sure. Dr. Moustache's office is used to us calling or emailing with our questions laden with way TMI ("too much info" for Donna! :-)), but I don't think that the pharmacist is as well equipped for my phone call. I'll try to be gentle and not scare her off too much. It'll be entertaining to listen to her reaction though. They charged me $102 for 32 suppositories (used every six hours) so hopefully they give me a new batch. Dr. Moustache doesn't think that I really need them, but he wrote me the script to appease my worried mind. My friend LL had the same surgery that I had (fibroidectomy) and after her cycle she had the brains to get an U/S to measure her uterine lining. Shockingly, hers was thinner than it had ever been. I didn't have the sense to get an U/S, so using the viagra pussy pops, for me, is a bit of added insurance against a thin lining. Fingers crossed that it works.

My friend ZC is getting her beta call from Dr. Moustache's office today. I'm on pins and needles waiting for her to post her results to the board, or to call me and tell me how she is.

I never held back on the TMI with Dr. Moustache. Maybe that should have told me something right there.
