just the fax - part duex

today is a rough day. it's day 18 of my cycle and no surge. so. i called the doctors office and told them just that and they said i needed to come in right away to see where my eggs are and, give me the trigger shot. bummer. luckily it's tuesday, and we all know that means the toots is at daycare. i called daycare and thank god for mrs doolittle, she can keep said toots until 5:30. i emailed paul to make sure he could pick her up by 5:30 since i get off at 5:30. he can. all bases covered right? not so fast. i go down to the doctor, which is 30 full minutes south, but he's a specialist so i can't complain. and they have me piac (pee into a cup) and then check my eggies. bad news: i only have 1 egg about to go. good news: it looks very very good. so then i go to talk to the nurse with my little cup o' lemonaid. for some reason, i burst into tears sitting there waiting. i later found out from brenda this is a clomid side effect. explains my entire morning of tearshed. the nurse said "what's wrong?!" "i don't know, this just isn't how i pictured all of this to happen." "well you have a VERY good egg." she dips an o test in my lemonaid while we're talking and boom-there's the surge i've been testing for all week. i have used 17 o tests so far this month. good thing i buy them in 50 packs. she then told me "this is great that my PCOS would give me an egg." "my pcos? you mean the cyst on the left ovary?" "no, this egg is on the right side." "yes, i know (i saw it on the ultrasound)...but do i have pcos?" "well, the jury is still out, your ovaries say yes, your bloodwork says no." "so...i have pcos on both ovaries?" "yes." ?? JUST TELL ME THESE THINGS. worrying is a hobby of mine, don't take a worrying opportunity away from me. then she said, "we can't miss this surge. you have to come back this afternoon." so i call paul from the office, can you come down at 2:30? no, he can't...he could come at 3:00...ok that works, then i go in at 4:00. then wham-o let's hope that one egg takes. talk about putting all of your egg in one basket. or all of your basket in one egg. which comes first?
