let's get this party started

Today is cycle day one around here. I'm so relieved. Apparently just the threat of unnecessary and expensive bloodwork was enough to whip this old uterus into shape.

I hadn't posted about it but I was starting to freak out a bit. See, I was late. Really, really late. A dear friend treated me to a fabulous lunch yesterday and talked me down from the ledge. She said that it was common to be about 10 days late after a failed cycle. Dr Champagne wanted to see progesterone and estrogen levels and I was all prepared to spend my day driving into the city and waiting around but that was unnecessary.

The drugs came last week. I used my old, old dealer. From the east coast. There was a tiny screw up with the package (wrong zip code due to poor handwriting) and this time there was no sexy Howie to straighten it all out. How I miss Howie already! I cheated on him this time because I foolishly thought time was of the essence.

So I've got a big shot in my near future. I suppose I technically have until midnight. I'm dreading the lupron. I'm totally procrastinating by trying to stretch this post out wayyyyyyyy more than it needs to be.

Now I just need to firm up the dates. I don't think there's anyway I can go in two weeks so it's likely to be in mid April. I've just asked Dr Champagne and if he wants me there sooner then I'll get my soon-to-be-sore butt on a plane sooner. My 'rents are planning a trip to see the new kitchen (and I suppose me and the mister) the first weekend in April so I can't go until the following week. I'm not planning on telling them I'm headed back to SA so we'll see how all this timing works out.

Ok. Enough stalling. Time for the shot. Wish me well.

I hope the shot went well. If your posts on my blog were any indication of timing, you were busy procrastinating as I was arriving at work to go to the gym this morning. Wierd how that works.

I don't quite understand the timing, but I'm glad you do. Onwards and upwards!

Good luck with the shot. I've got everything crossed that it works this time.

Good luck! I hope this time is THE time!

Maybe you could procrastinate even more and post pictures of the new kitchen?

Good luck with everything!

wishing you well.

I second Chris' suggestion. Kitchen photos please!

Wishing you luck and ease with everything this time around.

Thinking of you, and hoping the Lupron is going okay.
