Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?

Dr Calm, that who! I had to work at the time that Dr. Calm was available to talk yesterday, so my husband talked to her.  She is not concerned about my lack of an LH surge, but she did say I could come in for an ultrasound if I wanted to.  No LH surge this am, so I'm going in at 9am for a dil.do caming!  This could be good, or it could suck, but it a least I won't be left all alone to hypervigilantly monitor my body for cues.

The thing Dr. Calm said that 'made a nothing day suddenly seem all worthwhile' was that women who ovulate when they are are the pill usually have ovaries that are very strong, and ready to do the job.  I really needed to hear something positive about my body, and especially my ovaries, poor little things have been taking a beating, both from the drugs, and me.

Oy. That was a doozy of a morning. I cried a good long time in the shower, and then felt a little less nuts. Apparently crying when you are sad releases an enzyme through your tears that can affect your moods. I should really remember that one.

Oh, and we are doing the micro flare lupron protocol, just without the birth control pills.  She'd outlined both protocols in her notes, and then hadn't updated them with her final decision, so the IVF nurse went with the protocol that usually doesn't involve the pill.  Alas, my husbands insistence that we make sure we know, ourselves, what the protocol is, was very timely.  He is fond of saying "You Christians have the second coming, we have the second opinion." And in this case, it was his opinion that we needed to check in about the protocol that saved us some major trouble.

I'll update after the appointment.
