My over-achieving uterus

Building up a thick lining has never been my problem, but I think my miscarriage my have kicked things into hyperdrive. My post-mc period was...copious. And today, on low-dose oral estrogen, my lining is already 13mm thick!

As a result, my FET has been moved up an entire week, transfer next Tuesday. I'm both super excited, because I hate waiting, but also a bit nervous, because...what kind of lining will I be dealing with here??

It's actually thrown a real wrench into things, because that should be my first day of nursing clinicals...and the stupid school hasn't sorted us into groups, given us times, given us instructors, etc. They'll do it on Friday.

I spent a lot of time on the phone today trying not to get angry while they repeatedly told me that "Missing clinicals is bad. You'll never catch up. If you miss more than one, you'll fail." Well, thank you. This isn't exactly going as planned...from Day One. (Of, you know, two years ago.)

I finally just went ahead and assumed (yeah yeah, ass, you, me) that an afternoon appointment would be better than a morning one, and if worse comes to worse, I'll just beg and plead myself into a different group, just for the day.

Because no, we don't actually have to be there from 7am to 5pm. They just can't tell me when I, in particular, need to be there. Until Friday.

I am zen. (A really angry and irritated sort of zen. The sort of zen that's allergic to the TB serum, but it's not an actual secondary immune response, just an allergy. Good times.)

Ugh, I hate that kind of planning ordeal. But you are zen.

I am also SUPER jealous of your lining. I was going through my medical records the other day, and the thickest my lining has ever gotten is 7.3. That's pretty deplorable.

Ach. The timing thing is a KILLER. The fact that things can change by an entire week, so that you don't know precisely what you're dealing with. There's no planning with this, and it's not fair. But I hope you get to the end of that day feeling like Super Woman, slam-dunking both the FET and the clinical.

Great news about the lining. Pillow soft:)

Wow can't believe how quickly your lining has thickened! Best of luck!

Yay for a nice thick lining - just what the FET needs! Praying for the best possible outcome and lots of zen along the way!
