Welp, yesterday's random high temp was.... Option C!! I was hot. Those who guessed correctly win a prize*
My temp went back down, but still above coverline. (which I still don't trust because it's lower than last cycles). At this point I'm not sure what to think about my fucked up broken body. Not to mention starting last night I noticed I was tender to the touch right inside my right hipbone, which could mean I have something funky going on with meatwad's old house (you can read more about meatwad here and here) Just let me tell you how excited THAT idea makes me. UGH
I'm 6 days out from my appointment with Dr C. I'm still super nervous. I've got this whole list of things I want to ask him or discuss but I'm afraid we won't get to it all, or I'll forget, or something. I'm not nervous with meeting with him though, He's been my GYN since I was 15. He's my mom's, and both my sister's GYN. He delivered my niece AND my youngest brother and sister (the latter I was in the room for!) He's really kind, very soft spoken, has AMAZING bedside manner and knows all my history/family history. But I'm worried that his calm demeanor might mask the seriousness of what's going on.
Even when meatwad was removed, he was really nonchalant about the whole ordeal, which is good because it kept me calm. He has an air of confidence that doesn't even cross over into the realm of cocky. I'm lucky to have him. He's one of the most popular OB/GYN's in town. I'm also worried that if he can't help me, I'll have to change doctors and facilities. That makes me a little crazy, the thought of change and a stranger trying to fix me. What if s/he's an asshole? Or rude? Or like that Dr. from Knocked Up? It gets my heart racing just thinking about it.
So yeah, that's where I'm at. 8dpo, not a lot of symptoms, maybe didn't even ovulate, driving myself nuts... Welcome to my freakshow

*prize to be determined at at later date, prize will not have actual value and my not even be a physical thing. The writer reserves the right to take back the prize if you're a jerk about it.
I love my OB/Gyn and I can't wait to get pregnant so I can go back to her, but I also love my RE. He is so kind and informative and hey. He got me pregnant. It didn't last, but he did it! (I refuse to acknowledge how that sounds ;)) Wishing you luck in your next steps. It's terrifying, no?
ReplyDeleteI tried to temp for 3 months until I completely gave up. My body was just no cooperating. At the time we were doing un-monitored IUIs so I thought it would help. Turns out it drove me crazy instead. I just sort of relied on ovulation prediction tests. Is that something that would work for you?
ReplyDeleteWishing you luck with your appointment. Keeping everything crossed for you.
I wish, but last cycle I got 3 different rounds of positive OPKs.. and frankly peeing on a stick in the afternoon (while I'm at work) starting around CD10 (in case I O "normally") until CD 30+ (when I O'd last cycle) is way more frustrating than temping each morning. I've tried doing both but it becomes really difficult when I leave for work around 730am and not getting home until 8pm (lots of time to miss the surge)
DeleteThat's funny, I've been testing at work for so long, it's just part of my day from CD10 on. I have a little kit - a ziploc with OPKs and a cup (little medicine cup from a bottle of pepto bismol, ha) - I stick it in my purse and take it with me, dip the stick and then let it "develop" while I wash the cup, etc. The only real issue is the 5 minute wait, but if I hear someone outside waiting, I usually just put it back in the package and take it to my desk, then sneak a peek at it there. Writing this out it does sound super weird, I can definitely see why you wouldn't want to do it! (not to mention the false positives)
ReplyDeleteIf we had a single bathroom, I might be more inclined but we have one that's got like 7 stalls and 3 sinks.. and I'm not sure I want someone to walk in on me washing a pee cup lol :)
DeleteHaha! Very good point, hadn't thought of that. You could just pretend you had raging diarrhea and just finished taking some pepto.... No?
