Bring on the Baseline January 11, 2006

Tomorrow is baseline day. I’ll be getting up bright and early to make the trip over to Houston. Come to think of it, it probably won’t be bright. It will still be pitch black out. Since it’s a 4.5 hour drive, and I have to make it to my clinic in time for early morning monitoring, my alarm will be going off at the ungodly hour of 3:15. Ouch. I will be staying over in Houston during part of my cycle, but I don’t want to spend two weeks there. So, drive in the middle of the night it is.

I’ve never had a suppression check without being on Lupron first, so I’ll be interested to see how things go. I’m hoping to end up somewhere in that nice happy middle ground between getting cancelled and being oversuppressed. Let’s hope that my E2 is at least somewhat higher than the paltry 6 it was at baseline last cycle. I’m guessing that switching to the MDL protocol with only 10 days of BCPs should lessen the chance of something like that happening again. It better, because I don’t want my ovaries crapping out on me like last time.

The pressure of this cycle is starting to get to me a bit. I slept like crap last night as a result. Let’s hope the trend doesn’t continue tonight, because I’m going to need every minute of shuteye I can get.

Amanda I hope it went well today. It must be tough to have to do all that driving back and forth - I hope your clinic appreciates your dedication!
