Back to the Regularly Scheduled Programming March 24, 2005

Pretty much. There are still a few kinks to work out, but things are coming along. Apparently there is a problem with the feed from my site being picked up by Bloglines, but we’re working on fixing that.

Anyway, Dixie is doing pretty well. She puked up her breakfast this morning, but other than that she’s doing ok. She does have an unusual side effect from her stay in kitty jail, though. When I got the call on Monday letting me know that she was set to come home, the vet tech let me know that she had something to warn me about. Of course my worrying mind went crazy with that one. She went on to tell me that Dixie was pink. What? Apparently the burgundy colored pillow that I bought for Dixie to have in her cage dyed her fur pink. It’s not as bad as I imagined, but she’s definitely got a nice pink hue to the fur on her belly and legs. Quite an interesting affect on a calico cat. She has to go back to get her thyroid levels retested in a couple of weeks to make sure the radioactive iodine did the trick, but other than that she just gets to hang out and let the radioactivity dissipate.

On a different note, MY BODY IS PISSING ME OFF! Oh, yes. I am beyond frustrated. I’m on CD28 and still have not had a positive OPK nor any other signs of ovulation. I don’t know what’s up. I might think that maybe my body is having a reeeeally long cycle after being forced to do three IVF cycles back to back except that I’m feeling premenstrual. I honestly don’t know if I’ve had an anovulatory cycle or what.

What’s frustrating me to no end is that apparently everyone with any decision making power at my RE’s office is on vacation right now. Why do they think it’s a good idea to leave no one in charge? I really wanted to talk to my IVF coordinator or RE about what to do with regards to this whole endo biopsy scheduling situation should my period show up soon. The thought of having wasted one cycle and then having to waste another one simply because I can’t get ahold of anyone is making me sick. The nurse who’s in the office this week has not been helpful in this situation. My RE will be back in the office on Tuesday, but I don’t know what the hell I will do if my period shows before then.

I’m really losing my patience with this waiting, waiting, and more waiting crap. I wish I could just cycle again. I know it’s important to do more testing, but I feel like I’m getting nowhere fast. I really hope things work out so I can get all of the testing done soon. If not I may just explode.

Edited to add: My brilliant husband has now fixed the Bloglines problem. Apparently Bloglines wasn’t picking up either of the two feeds that were published by my blog, so my hubby created another feed and then managed to trick Bloglines into thinking it was always reading that feed. Very complicated, but it works. So, you can subscribe to any of the three feeds and it should work. According to my handy dandy stat page, Bloglines hasn’t visited my blog since the fix has been put into place, but once it decides to grace my blog with it’s presence everything should be fine. You can also subscribe to the comments feed in order to read all posted comments. Pretty cool.

Oh that is so frustrating! I really hope that you can get a hold of someone soon and get all of this crap figured out. Waiting to cycle sucks so much, I really hope you don’t have to wait too much longer.

Oh and pink cat sounds very cool. ;) I hope she is feeling better soon.
