We're getting in for both of our consultations exactly 4 weeks. It would have been sooner but Jim's schedule doesn't allow for it, but my RE wants me off the BCP sooner rather than later so she's pushing us through the consults quick.
We've got an hour with the RE, full panel of bloodwork, and an hour with the psychiatrist on Monday the 18th. The day starts at 9am and doesn't end until 1pm. Then, on Wednesday the 20th we have our teaching class from 8:30am-10am where they instruct us on how to use the medications and administer the shots.
By the time we get done with both of those days, I'll have been on the pill for almost 4 weeks so I'd imagine they're going to have me starting stims by the end of June. I'm scheduled to visit my friend in Louisville (a yearly trip) and I told him I'd be arriving with a pharmacy in a cooler. If he was lucky, I might even let him give me one of the shots. Unfortunately, he declined, haha...I dont have any IM shots to begin with anyways as far as I know so regardless I should be ok giving them to myself.
Other than that, I think the only update that I'll have (unless something pops up!) before my consultation appointments, would be results of Friday's cd3 bloodwork. They're redrawing my thyroid levels too, which I'm glad. I'm curious to see where its at now.
Oh, and I've recently had a great idea. I'm going to start keeping track of all the unusual places and locations I've taken my medications before... so far, the bathroom of a funeral home, at my friend's house (who didn't know about our IF struggles at the time) in the middle of her Mary Kay party, and while babysitting. Right now the funeral home wins but we'll see if that can be beat as time goes on! Feel free (blog lurkers) to comment with your own strange location and/or situation!
