Nuva Rage

Every day this week I've come home from work anxious to get the mail and see if my calendar has arrived.  When I was at the clinic last week, they started me on Nuva Ring and told me that they would mail my calendar, after which I should call and set up our pre-cycle appointment with them. 

It's Friday and no calendar yet.  I even called and left them a message about it and no call back.  I guess they're not worried about it, but I have things to coordinate.  I need to know approximately when I'm going to have to take off work, when we need to get the money together to pay them, whether we'll have enough time to order the meds from the UK so that we can save over 50% on the drug part of the equation.

But I've heard nothing.  Maybe I'll get it tomorrow.

The Nuva Ring is wreaking havoc on me.  I remember why I hated it so much back when I used it when I thought I actually needed birth control.  My boobs are sore all the way up into my armpits.  I'm a weepy hormonal mess.  At lunch I was listening to the Oprah show on XM and started to cry.  Not just tear up, actually crying.  I've been so numb lately there hasn't been a lot of crying so this is new.

It will be all worth it though if this works.

Ah, birth control. So much fun, so much laughing...NOT. I'm sorry to hear how it's been treating you. It definitely sucks. And what's with them not calling you back? Come on, people! Seriously, we all have lives outside of IF (though some days it doesn't feel like it!) and we have stuff to plan! My fingers are crossed that the calendar arrives today!
