June 18, 1999


I'm feeling much better than I was. Having a week of taking things easy, no vitamins to remember, drinking wine when I feel like it, not taking my temperature, has been really good. The only real low point was when I went to get my bloodwork done on Monday to check my progesterone levels. I forgot that Monday afternoons is when my GP's practice has their well baby clinic. So as I sat in the nurse's waiting room trying to feel upbeat about the upcoming test that would prove I didn't ovulate, the only other people in the waiting room were a mother and her month-old baby. She was cooing at him and he was adorable and I didn't have anywhere else to look. I tried to bury myself in a three-year-old magazine, but basically wanted to crawl into a hole and die. It was really not what I needed just then. I was still feeling really raw.

However, when I went in for the blood test it was with the phlebotomist, not the nurse. The phlebotomist is a lovely women and she remembered me and said, "You must be really tired of coming in for these." I could have kissed her. Then after walking through the main waiting room full of young babies to leave, I held the door for an old man who was struggling up the steps. I figured that he would feel as out of place as I did and doing something nice for someone gave me something else to think about. Still I feel like I should tattoo on my forehead --DO NOT GO TO THE GP ON MON. AFTERNOONS.

I don't think I'll forget in a hurry though.

In other news, not much is going on. I have decided what to do about the next gyn appt. I am going to bring along lots of papers on metformin and dexamethasone and tell him that if the 100mg of clomid doesn't work I want one of these two drugs. Then I'll give him the next six weeks to decide which one for himself. That seems pushy enough to satisfy me, without being too aggessive and still giving him the real doctor's decision to make. So Jon has been doing Medline searches for all papers on these drugs as relates to PCOS since 1990.

Also, I have been planning Jon's 25th birthday which is next Wednesday. I've been shopping for him and planning the day. I think 25 is a big one and I want to make it special. For my 25th, we went to New Orleans. This won't be anywhere near as extravagant, but I want to make it as fun. I already had fun wrapping his presents. I love wrapping presents. I don't know why, I just love making the wrapping different and special. Now I need to buy some more presents so I can wrap them. LOL

Well, that's about it for me.

Oh.... I wanted to add that I love my new BB! I'm sorry I can't make an appearance very often. I'm trying to keep my time online down to a minimum since we pay for access by the minute, but I'm going to make a point of checking at least once a week and I love hearing from everyone. Hope you are all having a good week.
