baseline u/s

I had my baseline u/s and bloodwork yesterday. It's funny how what we hope for changes. In the past when I would have an u/s we would always be on the lookout for ovarian cysts. Always on the lookout for that evil endometrioma. But after ovulating on my last cycle now we're keeping our eyes peeled for cysts that might be filled with clear fluid warning us perhaps that I'm not responding as nicely to lupron as we hope. In the past during an u/s we would hope for no cyst of course but a fluid filled cysts is always better than an endometrioma. Now, a clear fluid filled cyst is bad news because it means hormones are being released. And hormones are now bad. Apparently. Sometimes, I can barely keep up. Later, hormones will be good. I'm still not sure when the switch happens. Either way, we're hoping we can keep ovulation at bay. Ovulation=bad. Not sure when that happened either. They sent me for bloodwork also and I've gotten a little particular about which phlebotomist I prefer to see. Yesterday, I got the one that pokes. Most of the time during a blood draw the person who is drawing my blood will slide the the needle into my arm. Not this girl. She pokes. It's like she's throwing a dart into my vein. Not particularly painful but definitely strange. Yesterday, she poked and when she pulled the needle out I bled. And bled. And bled like I have never bled before. She also wasn't shy about noticing that I have plenty of scar tissue built up on my vein. Yeah, it's time to find a new phlebotomist. Or at least a new location.
