Whew. One More Step
Despite having to submit to a wanding by Herr Bigshot. the appointment went well – ie: We’re a go. No antral follicles on the right, and only something tiny leftover from that cyst on the left.
(God, this doc is a creep. He won’t put on scrubs or a lab coat, so he’s doing all these early morning exams in his street clothes – a suit coat. And, I’m sorry, but I think it’s kind of gross to be examined by someone who looks like he should be sitting behind a desk in an outfit that doesn’t get washed the way a lab coat does! Plus he’s just a jerk. Doesn’t make eye contact, doesn’t tell me anything going on, leaves the door wide open when he leaves. C.R.E.E.P. spells Herr Bigshot.)
So. Anyway.
Tonight I start in on prednisone, aspirin, and (oral) estrace. My Lupron dose drops to 5 units from 10. I go back for a lining check on December 18. Looking more and more like a christmastime transfer, and you know what? Happy damned Holidays! I’ll take it! Hoping that the lower dose of Lupron gives me back my brain. That would also be a nice gift for Christmas, though I’m holding out for the number 1 item on my list: 1 baby – any size, any color.
And in the meantime… I’m just glad we’re inching forward on this project again. Step. By. Step.
Herr Bigshot sounds like a complete ass and I thought my doctor was bad – well, my doctor is bad, but that’s another story. Congrats on getting started again! I hope all your Christmas wishes come true!
Yes!
So does this mean your donor starts stimming now?
I so want good news for you as we inch our way into 2010…
I’m SO excited for you. I’m quiet but I’m here… anxiously following your Christmas journey every day.
Ew. my doctor resembles a friend of mine and if she was ever to appear without a lab coat I’d be wigged out. But seriously that sucks about the doctor
( Still- if he can get you the baby of your dreams then it will be worthwhile… but still, must they be asses?
Fingers still crossed for you.
ha ha ha you think lab coats are washed often? snort. that would be great, and ideally they are. but i have to tell you, many times they hang on the back of the drs door and are worn again and again and again.
I am so thrilled you are on your way!!!! Yippee!!! Move over world, Sprog’s baby is on the way!!!

A Christmas transfer would be memorable! We had our transfer on election day. While not quite in the realm of Christmas, it was memorable nonetheless.
When that day comes and the doctor asks you what you want Santa to bring you for Christmas whilst your legs are in stirrups, just be polite and control the urge to kick him. My doctor asked who I voted for while I was in the transfer position. They must teach that kind of audacity in medical school.
Everything sounds great! You will feel much better once you start the estrace and cut down on the lupron – that combo made a huge difference for me and my horrible headaches. Excited for you!
I agree- that is gross! He should at least put on a coat for goodness sakes!
I’m so glad things are on track with you.
Sorry about the doc. Here nearly all docs are never seen in lab coats. Not sure I’ve ever been wanded by a doc in lab coat!
Like Mo said those white coats are among some of the germiest filthiest things ever (studies have even shown!) because they come in contact with lots of patients and don’t get washed much so I bet his jacket is actually cleaner. That said he still sounds like a total creep. Why do the docs we pay the most so often act like jerks?
I’m can’t deal with thinking about germs right now (ick and double ick) but he does sound just personally icky too. So I’m glad that the news was good, even though the process not so much.
I am very happy that you are moving forward!!
woo hoo!!!
And yuck – your description made me think of the many douchebags I spend my day around in suits – and thinking of them with a wand makes me want to shower!
Ewww docs wearing streetclothes and not making eye contact and leaving the door open!
Yay, Christmastime transfer!
Yay! (Except for Herr Bigshot being an asshat).
Bigshot sounds incredibly skeevy. At least you got good news at the end of that awkwardness.
My doctor always says, “I’m going to touch you now.” I love my doctor, but I’ve always found that a little creepy. Now I’ve just heard it too too much.
I’m so excited for you getting started. I can’t wait.
praise the gods.
Onward!
Onward hoooooooooooraaayy. Forget DrCreepy, put it out of your mind ’cause you are on the train, you can give up those loopy lupron blues and get the best Christmas gift of all time. I’ve got 41 candles to blow out this week and I’m saving a few for you!
