When I was researching endometrial biopsies, I knew there could be some complications - fever, infection... What I didn't anticipate were the bowl-me-over-in-pain cramps I would experience with my period. Holy moly! A whack load of pain killers, a heating pad, and four hours later, the cramps finally subsided. Never have I had cramps that painful before. At least none that I can remember.
I called in my cycle yesterday. Nice to see that the nurses are still available on a stat holiday. Any way, I started my estrace and my ultrasound is on the 17th. My BFF J has offered to teach my summer school classes that day. Normally I would have to cover the costs of a TOC (teacher on call) but she's refusing compensation. Very thoughtful of her. :) I'm assuming that 2 days after the ultrasound, I'll be transferring my last 2 embryos.
There's always this sense of excitement when heading into a treatment. But it is necessary to guard my heart. Too many disappointments along the way.
In work related news, I met my summer session classes today. The English 11 is a super small class. They seem nice enough though. Two of the students were actually in my English 10 summer session course last year. I guess they didn't, learn. The English 8 will be a challenge. I haven't taught them in years and had forgotten how squirrelly 13/14 year olds can be. I'll have to be a bit of a drill sargent for a while. Not my style but necessary it seems. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day with them.
I don't think I could do English 8 (ninth graders drive me bonkers enough) especially for summer school. Wow! I am glad that J is covering your class and not letting you pay her. A little support means a lot during this time. In just over two weeks, you will have a transfer. I will keep you and the embryos in my thoughts. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou must love teaching to teach during the summer. My hats off to you.
ReplyDeleteI do love teaching but teaching summer school is more out of necessity. Living in the lower mainland of BC is costly. And since I don't a pay cheque until Sept 15, I gotta cover the bills somehow. :p
DeleteBest of luck with this transfer! I am praying hard that this is it for you!! HUGS!!
