Moving Right Along

I just had my telephone call with the patient care coordinator at Dr. Generous'. All I need are prolactin and varicella tests for my records to be in order. Easy enough.

I've been on the BCPs for four days and the PC Coordinator said "You'll be on the pills for two weeks total." 2 weeks? "Wow", I thought. Dr. French, Dr. Generous' colleague, said it would be three. So we've cut our time down by about 1/4 or thereabouts. Cool. Less is more for me in terms of medications. Let's keep those follicles fresh and happy.

So, next Wednesday is my big let's-wrap-this-shit-up-and-get-this-party-started day.

9:30AM - Phone call with the Clinical Coordinator
2:00PM - Phone call with the Financial Coordinator
3:00PM - 1/2 hour meeting with Dr. Generous and then a mock embryo transfer

I warned them that I might just show up in person for the Financial Coordinator chat at 2PM as I'll likely already be in the area. It feels good to get it all out of the way FAST.

Still no word on the E2 and FSH bloodwork.

I think I forgot to mention that at Sunday's U/S they found no evidence of ovarian cysts (yay!) and the doctor noted 6 follies on the right, and 5 on the left. Dr. French looked at my ovaries really fast, only spending a few seconds counting the follicles on each side, so I am really hoping that there might be one or two more in hiding in there.

But one monkey wrench may have been thrown into the mix: I just got word today that our offer on a fix-and-flip house was accepted. We promised them a two week close of escrow in our offer, so I'm going to be on stims when escrow closes, and beginning to manage a renovation when we're close to retrieval. By the time I'm in my 2WW I'm going to be up to my ears in project management crap. We don't have the signed "acceptance" of our contract in hand so the clock's not ticking just yet, but will be soon. I just hope that I can hire enough qualified people to get things started so that I don't have to stress too much about it all. My work has been quiet or, rather, absent, since December, and now that I'm finally cycling it's all hitting the fan. Why is it always like this?

Good Luck this cycle! I hope things calm a big so you can relax and make a baby! :)

Did I really just read that? The "R" word! ;-)

When I read your post about the house stuff... all I could think of is Statia. I remember she was moving and cycling simultaneously, and I thought it was going to be way too stressful, but voila... The Mini Me-ester is here.

I am so hopeful for you!

Good luck with your cycle and with moving!

Life is always testing us, and I know you have the resilience and moxie to pass this one too. Keeping all things crossed.
