But wait! There's more! Pt. 2

So, yesterday was my birthday. Aside from the minor inconvenience of having to renew my driver's license at the last minute, the day was going ok. Until just after 5pm, when my most snuggly wonderful cat began to yowl loudly and insistently from where he was laying in the family room. He was unable to walk because his back legs stopped working. We took him to the emergency vet closest to our house and were immediately sent to the super-duper emergency vet a little farther away. My cat was diagnosed with a heart condition 7 months ago (Grade 4 murmur + hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) but we thought we would have more time with him since the vet put him on medications to control the symptoms. Well, a clot broke off last night and lodged the spot his main artery splits to his back legs. He was paralyzed and in incredible pain (despite the pain meds) so we made the decision to say goodbye. Last night was fucking awful.

And then today, I woke up looking look I had an allergic reaction to something. My eyes were so puffy they were uncomfortable to open but I had scheduled my baseline ultrasound for 8:15am, so I employed the use of Preparation H and cold spoons. I got the swelling to shrink to a less embarrassing level and left for the doctor. I was also overdue for another super uncomfortable water ultrasound so they did that after the baseline and it turns out I may have a fucking uterine polyp, which could account for the recurrent failures of both the IVF's and the IUI's. This will require a procedure to remove. My transfer is scheduled for December 19th, so this procedure needs to be soon.

Also, I have my colonoscopy in a week. Plus we are going out of town for Thanksgiving. Plus tests and finals next week. Plus husband being out of town for work next week. Plus regular household shit. Plus life. Plus existence.

Also, right now I'm late for my son's Thanksgiving party at school because
I      just      needed     a     fucking     minute.

Progesterone in Ethyl Oleate

Due to a nationwide shortage of my usual progesterone-in-oil, I have been using some compounded stuff that uses ethyl oleate and HOLY SHIT IT HURTS. It goes in a lot easier, but it seriously hurts. I hope the manufacturer gets their shit figured out soon because I would like to go back to my old formulation as soon as humanly possible.

Your plans mean nothing.

So we just got back from our scheduling appointment with the FET coordinator and it turns out we won't be doing the actual embryo transfer until the middle of December... like, the 18th. I was NOT planning to have a transfer that late. This puts us at a due date of around September 5th. I was maybe kind of okay with having a due date of mid-August, but September 5th is REEEEALLY pushing it. I will likely have my 3rd semester nursing program orientation on the 22nd, and because 3rd semester classes are on Wednesdays, I probably won't have class until the 29th. However, I really did not want to be due after the semester starts. This is really, really difficult. AND, if for some reason I don't start my period within 4 days of ending the progesterone from my mock cycle... not only will I not get to visit my mom for Thanksgiving (due to baseline ultrasound scheduling), we will likely not make the cut off for transfer before the clinic lab closes for the Christmas holiday... wh...
