"I was in the path of the tornado, I just didn't expect the storm to last as long as it has". This quote is from one of my favorite movies. It's kinda the way I feel about the last four years. You know that feeling you have during a violent storm? That anxiety, the unsettling feeling of not knowing what to do or what is going to happen? How it can literally knock you on your ass and strike fear in you? Living with uncertainty this long is brutal. You can' plan your future! And you'd think I'd be used to it by now, but still....every setback knocks me back down and sets me into a tizzy. So everything was going great and I was getting ready to start my stimulating medications. I went in for an ultrasound and bloodwork. The ultrasound went great.....I have 6 healthy follicles on my right ovary and 5 on the left. Then they took my blood. My nurse called me later that day to say my estrogen levels were elevated and that she wants me to hold off on the stim meds until it goes down. I have to stay on the Lupron in the meantime. I'm frustrated because this pushes my protocol back. I'm not sure how many days. I have an appointment on Tuesday to find out. I'm glad the doctor is being cautious, but it's hard when you set your heart and mind on something and you're told you have to wait longer. But we will.....just going to have to trust the doctor and try and be zen! Pray for us!
