Sorry-lost internet access for a few days due to the house move!
The package, she was innocuous. A nice shirt, a pair of earrings, and a card signed on a first name basis. So unless Aidan did remove objects and didn't tell me (which is, in this case, the right thing to do as just now there are a few things in my family I don't want to know about. Scratch that. There are a lot of things I don't want to know about in my family.) then all quiet on the western front. Or, since I live in England, I guess that would make it the eastern front. So this analogy, it doesn't really work at all.
Anyway.
The Buserelin has allowed me to enjoy a major first in my life-I just had my period for EIGHT DAYS. Why yes, it does need to be in caps. EIGHT DAYS. EIGHT DAYS of tampons in an out to the extent that I did resort to pads as my hooch whimpered in terror. My menopausal body has decided it didn't need this uterine lining at all, thank you, and has wrung it out like a Scotch Brite sponge. My ovaries are looking around and adjusting their large aviator mirror glasses as they announce that this house is clean.
Luckily tomorrow is my first scan, or what is euphamistically known in the IVF world as a wanding (it makes me think of fairies flying up there and offering to grant me three wishes, the first of which would be could they please fly right back out of there but before they do how about playing with the G-spot for a minute?) Aidan and I are trooping off to the hospital at the unholy hour of 7:30 to get this done. The scan should tell me if the Buserelin has been doing its job and if I have, indeed, been "down-regulated", which basically means that the ovarian factory has been closed and all the employees sent home to live on unemployment.
If this is the case then I have to possibly wait a day or two, depending on how the donee is with her meds and cycle, and then I start stims this week, if all goes well.
I really hope all goes well.
I'm getting pretty tired of the Buserelin.

Posted by: caltechgirl at April 10, 2006 03:13 AMI'm relieved to hear that the package was harmless. The last thing you need right now is psychotic family melodrama!
Good luck with the wanding! Hope everything's cleared out and ready to go!

Posted by: One Half at April 9, 2006 07:48 PMIt's a good thing I have been reading your blog. When the crimson tide showed up yesturday and I was over a barrel of my own, I would have thought I was hemoraging if I had not remembered how bad you said the crimson bitch was treating you. I really hope it isn't heer for 8 days. Of course I have a raging stomach virus to go along with it, I can't tell one cramp from the other.
I am glad your moms package was nothing to fear.
