Peacocks

I added this 4th ID key chain to my shop this morning.

I've been having some really odd dreams.  I think that maybe it's because of the flu shot I had on Monday.

Early this morning, just before the alarm woke me at 0430 hrs I was dreaming about sleep.  Odd I know.  I was dreaming that I was sleeping on an Army cot and that someone was complaining about all the choppers.  I live on post right behind the helipad.  I'm used to the sound of aircraft.  When I woke up in that dream I was in another dream trying to find a comfortable place to sleep in a furniture warehouse.  No one would let me sleep until I picked out a sheet set.  I finally picked out a really bizarre but colorful sheet set with peacocks picked out in white with gold and silver outlines against a purple, turqoise and teal backdrop.  Kind of like the peacock colors had bled out of the bird.

I had troubles getting to sleep last night.  J and I went to bed at 2030 hrs. He was tired and I was too.  But I could only sleep for two hours before I was back up again.  I finally got back to bed at 0315 hours.

I wonder if that is the reason why I lost 1.2 lbs.  Not enough sleep?  Usually that just crashes my metabolism.

On the two week wait.  No clue when it actually started so I have no clue if the pain I have is just the endometriosis or something else.  Most likely it's the endometriosis.

CD 9 Good News

My date with Wanda went fairly well today.  We have a new RE in the clinic and I got to see her.  Both Drs B are out right now.  One went TDY for three months and the other is on vacation today.  Oh well I'll have to adjust.

I have to say though that this Major S is a bit condescending and to the wrong person.  I hate doctors that think they know it all when they don't.  She tried to tell me that if I went with PNW for my oocycte purchase (hey think about what I'm paying...its not really a donation since I'm not getting a dinner special with it) they would have to transfer the embryo and thaw it at SRM.  I'm like, "no they won't".  I'm paying out 18k for it to all be done, except for the monitoring, at PNW.  She was, "I'll have to check on that while you get dressed.".

Suffice it to say, I was right.  Thank you to Stephanie at sometimes its hard to get pregnant for informing me all about what I need to know in advance.  I had already discussed all of the ins and outs with Lt.Col. B before he went TDY.  Oh and I told Major S that bit but she is stubborn to say the least.

Now on to some bit of good news.
The 5 cm cyst on the right side is now 2.5 cm.  YAY!
My OPK yesterday showed a surge.  I used the information yesterday wisely and will again today.
The ultrasound showed that indeed I did ovulate on the left side.  A 30 mm cyst is what it probably was Major S said and it's collapsing in on itself now.  Okay so 30mm probably means the egg was over ripe but hey, I ovulated on my own and I still have a chance.

Now since its only CD 8 when I ovulated, we know I ovulate early, I have about a 16 wait in my two week wait.  I'm far from normal ladies.  My cycle is normally 25-27 days.  So 16 is about right.

I told J he has to be very nice to me until I either test positive on the hcg or see red again.  No stressing me out.

So I'm officially in my two week wait ladies.  Fingers crossed it worked.  My labs will be in tomorrow for the P4, E2, FSH, LH that Major S ordered.  She didn't put stat on them so it's just routine.

If J gets to re-enlist, we'll know more in October, I'll be put on hormones right off and be on the phone with the clinic in Seattle to get the donor egg going asap.

Side note:  I lost 1.8 pounds overnight.  Finally the bloat is coming off again.  Looks like the Endo Diet is truly helping to shrink the ovarian cysts.

 J created this last night for my ETSY shop.

I made this one and will list it tomorrow maybe.

And I made this one too.  So maybe I'll add more hats and booties tomorrow.
