A Tale of a Day with a Disappointing Uterus

If you can't tell by the title of this post, my uterus and I have had a falling out once again. She is one disappointing body part! My friend said maybe I should think of a name for her, but right now none of them are very nice so I'll postpone the naming process. So first thing yesterday I had my blood draw and ultrasound. I am waiting for the measurement and it comes in at a disappointing 7.1. The RE says things look good and it looks like I will be ready in two more days. I'm thinking I need it to be ready today not two stinkin days from now. So I frantically email CCRM telling them of my news and asking them what it means for my cycle. Of course I am on eastern time, so I usually have to wait until about 10:00 or 11:00 to get a response back. The response I get is we have to wait for your e2 but your ultrasound report is already here. So at 3:00 I send another email making sure they had received the blood work results because the local RE office was closing early and was having the lab send the results directly to CCRM. They respond back that yes they have received my results but had to talk to the doctor.

So it's now 6:30 and I have driven downtown to meet my husband for a nice quiet dinner. I'm kind of in an irritated mood at this point because I see the writing on the wall. What's going on downtown you might ask: a big noisy festival. The restaurants are packed. This would have been something I would love, but I am in a cranky mood and I don't want the noise, people, art, etc. I just want my stupid phone call from CCRM announcing my fate.

So at 7:00 as we have gone from restaurant to restaurant finding out they are packed and have long waits I get the phone call. My cycle is being delayed by a week. My e2 was 620 but the lining was not acceptable. So I have to have another ultrasound on Wednesday and if things look good, I will go the following week on Wednesday or Thursday. The nurse was very nice. I told here that I wasn't surprised. During my mock cycle my lining was 8 and I had said don't I need to be on additional medication because that seems low. Oh no I was told. 8 is perfect. I'm still puzzled as to why I did the mock cycle because it didn't really seem to teach us anything because we ran the exact same play. Oh well.

So now its around 7:45 and I still haven't had dinner. I am now at CVS trying to get my estrace filled to plump up the lining. Well the pharmacist is clearly confused as to why I am taking this pill vaginally. I try to explain to her why, but she needs to talk to CCRM. So I have to call the answering service and have them call the back line. Finally, she understands and starts to fill the prescription, but then she realizes that she only has generic. I know that CCRM is strict on branded, so I am hesitant as to what to do. I have her call another pharmacy that is open 24 hours and secure it there.

It's now 8:30 and I am home. I decide to make myself some noodles for dinner because I still haven't eaten. Running guy stopped by a drive thru on the way home due to our downtown fiasco and I was being difficult and didn't want anything from a drive thru hence why I am eating noodles.

Now it's 9:30 and running guy and I are heading to the 24 hour pharmacy. On the way I tell my mom that we are officially no longer going to Denver, so she can cancel the substitute she had lined up for her class. We finally get home around 10:15 and I take my estrace and go to bed.

The good news in this story is that I still get to go as long as things look good on Wednesday. Also, we are getting my lining at a prime measurement which I know is very important. The bad news is changing my plane tickets is not cheap and airfares are more expensive the following week and my mom can't come with me the following week.

Today is a new day though. I am not going to let my circumstances effect my mood. I am going to enjoy my Saturday and have a wonderful weekend!
