I'm back

Well, I survived the long weekend. It was fine for the most part. I did not spill the beans to my dad and step-mom. They didn't even push it, frankly, they were obsessed with my niece, who was also there, so I was not on the hot seat.

But the saga is not over. I got my protocol calendar, and while I think it is a bit off (they estimated my period will arrive after CD 34, which I think is too long), I will most likely be at the far away clinic for a week at the end of September. Which of course coincides with my step-mom and dad's visit to town. They will be here for a conference during the week, and are staying the weekend to see my brother's family and me. So the gig will be up then.

My revised plan is to see exactly when AF comes, and what my revised calendar will then look like. Then a phone call to my dad, explaining what's been going on, and why I won't be around when they come here. Not looking forward to that. I'll think about that later. After all, de Nile is not just a river in Egypt. Ha ha.

On more interesting news, my endometrial biopsy is scheduled for this coming Monday. While my ob-gyn will actually snip the bit of lining out, I have to mail it off to a special lab for testing. It is amazing, all these parts of my body I ship off all over the country. My blood, my lining. It's odd. But I guess this whole IF thing is odd. What's one more thing to add to the list.

And my protocol. It is different this time, a micro-dose Lup.ron flare. Much shorter, really just one month long, versus having to do the long Lu.pron protocol that really takes 2 cycles to do. We'll see how it goes!
