CD15 or CD3?

This cycle started off fairly normal. AF started and I went in for a baseline and blooodwork with one of Dr. Generous' associates. This week, on Wednesday, I had another U/S with Dr. Generous herself and that was when she found the 17mm dominant follicle/cyst on my left ovary. If you will remember, she and the other doc put their heads together and figured I'd cease taking my BCPs, go back on Friday for another U/S and then I'd be in for a trigger to release said follicle/cyst.

Well yesterday I met Dr. S. I can't think of any nifty name for him as his last name is just strange. I can't associate it to anything. So, Dr. S he shall remain. He escorted me to an U/S room and I asked him if I could please have a pad to sit on as I was bleeding quite heavily. He seemed a bit surprised at that tidbit of information and left the room. He returned and proceeded with my wanding. The cyst that was at 17mm had now shrunk to 12mm. He measured it a few times just to be sure that it was on the way out, and indeed it was.

Because of this, he said, I would not be needing the HCG at all. He said that it is likely that, even though I "thought" I was on CD14 that I was actually back to CD2 yet again. To be sure, he said that I should POAS daily to test for LH, check my basal temperature, etc. As soon as we get the LH surge we can prepare for me to start my estrace.

I should have been starting my estrace about the end of next week (27th?) but now it looks like it's going to be pushed out about two weeks beyond that.

I feel frustrated at the continual delays that my freakish body keeps causing me, but I am also so happy that this particular group of doctors really seems to be able to respond quickly with changes that seem to make sense. When I had my last cyst with Dr. Pompy, their answer was to keep me on lupron for TWO MONTHS and allowed me to completely lose my mind on the evil drug. I think that I appreciate the approach my current set of physicians are taking much much more. I say that realizing that I might still have my "RE honeymoon eyeglasses" on and that in a year's time I may feel differently about them. But right now the honeymoon is still on.




So last night me and my mister stirred up a small pitcher of margaritas. Small, because neither he nor I can drink much without falling asleep on the couch. But during my cocktail I googled a set of the cutest flatware I'd seen in a while.

Yesterday, after my wanding with Dr. S, mom and I went for a bite to eat at this cute Frenchie place that is in, of all places, the "Italian" section of town. Since I'm trying to keep my clinics a secret in this blog, I'm sorry...but despite them having the most luscious pastries (organic I think) I've seen in a while, I won't be able to publicly divulge their location. But they had the cutest plates and flatware by a company called "Comptoir de Famille". It's very simple (the pics don't do it justice), has a neat little silver pin that holds the handle to the metal portion of the implement, and has a perfect weight. The set I bought is in ivory, but they also had a nice red. I adore red but somehow I am not quite certain if it will be something I still love in years. So margarita in hand, I bought myself a set of 10 place settings of the ivory.

I'm telling you: surfing and drinking is dangerous.
