Feeling optimistic

Oddly, I'm feeling blah today but newly optimistic at the same time!

Went for my blood test & first ultrasound today. Had to get a colleague in to cover me in the control room so I could dash out for my appointment.. have I mentioned how awkward all these things are for a shiftworker? Anyway, I digress. The nurse did my scan (with the "dildo cam"!) and said I was responding well - lots of follicles (no idea how many) but they're still small, and my endometrial lining was still too thin. But as my oestrogen levels were still rising she thought I might be ok for egg collection this Friday! Stoked! Then she gave me my trigger injection & progesterone gel to take home.

Later today my nurse called again. She said my blood test results were good and my Doc is so happy with them that I don't need another appointment on Wednesday. They'll just call me later that arvo to discuss what time I need my trigger shot and what time my surgery is on Friday.

This all works out well for DP. He's on RDOs Friday & Saturday so he will be available to tend to me. However, he also has to fast on the day in case his frozen spermies don't thaw well & he has to have another biopsy. We'll have to call on the only friends we've told to see if they can be our standby taxi on the day!

My boss has had to organise a colleague to fly from interstate so she can cover for me on Friday. This is not ideal as it will draw attention to my day off & is costing the company money in flights & accommodation. I don't think I'll be very popular. Oh well. I'm also meant to be working a 10hr day on Sunday.. fingers crossed I'll feel well enough by then as there's no-one else available to do the shift for me! This whole situation isn't really helping my stress levels.

Rambling now.. dog tired.. time for a kip on the couch I reckon.
