Update on the Ute

I must have inherited my uterus from my great grandmother, Bertha Kowitz, who, according to family lore, escaped the Kaiser with her pigtails flying, because I swear that thing has precision German engineering. Not that it works properly, as evidenced by its empty status. But it is ALWAYS on time. Nothing, not even a laparoscopy and laser burning of its tissues can make me bleed late. Funny thing is, I was still surprised when I found a little spot of blood on my toilet paper last night. I wasn't expecting it. Mainly because I haven't been paying much attention lately. Also because I had no warning. I always know when my period is about to start because the cramps start in the day before. I was blindsided last night. No warning. Not to say I don't have cramps. They kicked in today. But the cramps I had today were like charlie horses in my uterus as opposed to stabbing, gut wrenching pain. OH! NOW I know why they call them "cramps" as opposed to, say...MOTHER FUCKING BITCHES!!! Because that's what they are! Just cramps, not really pain. Is that what the rest of the world always experiences? Oh the simple joy of absence of pain! I'm ready to offer Dr. H to bring me no baby just for taking that monthly experience away!! Although I suspect he might rather have Dan do that. Anyway...I digress...Know what else? I didn't have any PMS!!! The other forerunner to my period is the monthly paranoia. Why are they always whispering and looking at me sideways? The inability to handle any social situation or rationally discuss household issues. I'm not jumping to conclusions, but could laparoscopy be such a miracle or do I just want to believe? Since a great deal of what they removed was on both ovaries, could it be that my hormones are more balanced now? I also had (warning to the squeamish: skip the next sentence!) a lot more of that fertile cervical mucous this month, and I mean A LOT more!! I know that comes from estrogen. I also know clomid blocks estrogen receptors and that stuff made me INSANE. Clinically. Worst PMS EVER. Could it be better because my ovaries are making more estrogen now? Or is this just a new form of PMS insanity: Coming up with crackpot scientific theories.

Crackpot science is what the infertiles live for!! Glad you're juicy, and hope the lap did some good work :)
if you're getting back on Gonal-F i have two and a half pens... and you can have them for what I paid.. My insurance covered almost all of them! I dont' think I'll need them again (not for a long time at least) and I'd rather give them to someone I know than just donate to a stranger :)
Hopefully you won't need it at all tho!
