Well, the last of the testing for the month is over.
This morning was the hysteroscopy — where a scope with a camera is inserted into your uterus to look around for things that should not be there.
That sounds so easy.
Three lovely shots and a few minutes of uncomfortableness later, the verdict was that all was well.
I was extremely groggy. I did not think I was going to be able to drive home. But after a few minutes, I was alright and managed to get home and then go show a few houses. Glad it is over.

Ava and Than are taking parent/child swim lessons at the Y. Neither has been super cooperative but Ava has been running a fever on and off again. And she doesn’t like cold water!
Tuesday night, Ava went shopping with daddy during swim time. They went to a sporting goods store and looked at life jackets. Apparently she really liked a red one, trying it on and then prancing around the store. But then, they spotted a Dora one. And she was taken. Dh said she was shrieking.
Than’s favorite part of swimming is climbing up and down the ladder. Althouh splashing mommy kell is also quite fun. That is what he calls me these days. He is very funny.

So after Many headaches and hot flashes, AF finally appeared late last Tuesday. I had discontinued the progesterone cream after Monday night bc of a negative test on Tuesday morning. Symptoms are so deceiving!
So, on to testing. But, guess what? Good old Dr. K is out of town. So the nurse did my u/s and sent me for bloodwork. A week later and still no results. I am calling tomorrow. I thought the hysteroscopy was to happen on cd10 but the nurse seemed to think that next week would be fine. Guess we will see. I also thought I would be given clomid this month but no. This month is diagnostic.
So, I am trying to take dh’s advice and not think about it (too much). Kind of taking a month “off.”. It was actually a relief. And the timing was good, considering it’s a stressful month as far as my contract work goes. We have too many March birthdays anyway.

I am an excellent procrastinator. Not the best I know, but still pretty good. I have two project deadlines looming. I am doing okay on progress, considering the number of interruptions I have had. But it could be much better.
I stayed home today for the first time in weeks. I mistakenly thought I would get to work during nap time. Ava woke up as Thanny went to sleep. I had real estate work to tackle after Trustees. And some people may be able to write late at night but not me. I never could write or study late at night. Early morning is much more productive for me. Ideally, both projects would be done next week so I don’t have to stress right up to the deadline. And I must remind myself that these are both just ROUGH drafts. Of course I want them to be in good shape when I hand them over. But they don’t have to be perfect.
So, in my procrastinating, I cleaned the living room carpet with the new vacuum. The stains in the carpet are driving me nuts! In the process, the cord on the vacuum got damaged so so much for trying to save money. Should have just called Stanley Steemer. And the results were not great.
I also cleaned baseboards and toilets and did lots of laundry. All thongs that needed to be done but …
Must finish my writing!
