I had a really nice evening yesterday after work. My friend who lives in Louisville was coming home from a trip to Europe and was staying a night at his parents house before headed back home. Since his parents live 2 minutes from my house we decided to go get a bite to eat. We went to the bar in town that Jim and I frequent and I ordered my usual...chicken rice soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. Nothing unusual...but when I got home around 930ish my stomach was doing flip flops. I just figured it was nothing, took my Lupron and went to bed. Around 2am I was abruptly awakened by the worst cramps ever. I'm not exaggerated they were so bad it was like labor pains all over again. Which only made things worse to wake up in the middle of the night and think you're in labor only to realize , oh wait...
I tried to wait it out but I eventually had to get out of bed. I tried going to the bathroom hoping that would help and at first I thought it did so I went back to bed. I no sooner got under the covers (I also was sweating yet freezing and felt as if I had a fever) then it all started up again. I headed back to the bathroom and was stuck there for quite awhile with my head stuck in the toilet.
To make matters worse I had to open the office at work all this week so I had to be up and out the door in a few hours yet here I was stuck lying on the bathroom floor shivering and clutching my stomach. After a few yacks, I just forced myself to go back to bed. Thankfully I was able to fall back asleep but I was convinced with those massive cramps that AF would be there when I woke up.
The alarm went off way too soon.... I was afraid to move, except.... I felt great. Tired, but great. Also, no AF. Hmph. What was that all about then.
When I got to the office I called the RE's office to let them know, per my flowsheet , that AF hadn't arrived yet. The nurse tells me, Oh well we should give it a week how about you come on Monday for bloodwork and ultrasound. I was having that and eventually got my way and scheduled an appt. for tomorrow morning instead.
About an hour after I hung up with the office, I ran to the bathroom before stepping into what I suspected to be and was correct, a long meeting. Umm....whats this. Holy shit... AF is here. I must have scared her out afterall!
So hopefully they aren't mad at me tomorrow but oh well what can you do.
They should understand. They're pumping you full of hormones, at some point you get to call the shots lol.
