Since when are Dr's allowed to take time off???!!!

Just kidding!! (Sort of) Anyway, I got a very distressing call from the nurse at my RE's office today. Apparently, Dr. D informed them this morning that he is going to be out of town April 17-20, which means that my cycle gets pushed back a week :(. I'm not too pleased about this development, but I'm finally starting to calm down. I was supposed to go this Thursday for my suppression check and start stims on Sunday evening, but now I don't go until next Thursday, the 12th and will hopefully start stims on the 13th - trying not to think about the fact that it will be Friday the 13th - I'm not a superstitious person, but still. I liked an Easter Sunday start much better, you know, rebirth/fresh start. We're now looking at an estimated egg retrieval somewhere around the week of April 22. This also means that I have to take my Lupron shots for an extra week which isn't terrible, but remember what I said about having no side effects? Scratch that, the night sweats started this weekend, fun fun! So, Dr D. better have a darn good reason for scheduling this time off at the last minute and that doesn't include a relaxing trip to a tropical location or Vegas or you fill in the blank ;-)! I'll be on tan patrol next time I see him. Seriously though, I'm sure that it's a scheduling nightmare because I can only imagine the number of cycles/surgeries that have been impacted by this. Thank goodness I'm having a pedicure today after work! I need it!

On a more positive note - my wonderful hubby arrived home safely on Friday afternoon! He was of course exhausted but he got back in the swing of things pretty quickly. We had a very busy weekend of hard labor in the yard and I'm paying for it today, let me tell ya! It's worth it though because everything sure looks pretty!
