Estrace Day 8 Waiting for AF

I started my estrace six days after my LH surge and, as of today, I've been on the drug for 8 days. So I'm 14 days post my LH surge. My last AF began exactly 28 days ago, and I'm a 28 day cycler, so I'm totally due today. But nothing happened.

Before you go off thinking "Ooooooh! Maybe you're pregnant!!!" Look to the side bar under the "About Me" and note my diagnosis: Lack of Fallopian Tubes is somewhere on that list. Unless there really is a Santa Claus, there ain't a chance in hell that I'm knocked up. It's just an impossibility.

I think that there's a chance that the estrace has whacked out my cycle. Actually, I wouldn't be at all surprised if that is what's going on. But I'm a hair stressed that it's late because if it arrives tomorrow, and it probably will, then my baseline U/S and E2 bloodwork is going to be on Friday, which will conflict with my first day at my new job. I warned my new boss that this might happen but inside I was hoping like mad that it wouldn't. I didn't want to start my new job with my first day already being muddled with personal problems.

But it would also be a drag if AF were to show on Saturday because I have two fellow IF ladies coming over on Sunday. I didn't even consider that my AF might run late and screw up our plans to get together.

Oh crap.

Fingers crossed AF waits til Friday to appear.

All this "Friday, but not Thursday", and "Saturday, but not Sunday" stuff reminds me of one of my favorite Monty Python skits:

A Reading from the Book of Armaments, Chapter 4, Verses 16 to 20:

Then did he raise on high the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, saying, "Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals ... Now did the Lord say, "First thou pullest the Holy Pin. Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Hand Grenade in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."
