Cycle Day Huh?

I am supposed to go in for baseline monitoring tomorrow (theoretical cd 2) before starting estrace.

Granted, I've never been on lupron before, but I always start bleeding exactly 2.5 days after stopping progesterone and/or coming off the pill (okay, maybe there was one 3 day gap in there, but you get the point). I had a huge gush of blood--like, went through my pants it happened so fast--on Friday (before coming off the pill), and then nothing. Stopped the pill, as instructed, on Saturday. And I've been waiting. And cramping. And waiting. And cramping. And spotting. And waiting.

I'm not sure what this means, but I suspect it's not looking good for getting started on estrace tomorrow. Fortunately, there are a few extra days built into my calendar (target retrieval is still 18 days out), but, hello?

In other news, my chair told me, completely off the record, though he did repeat it in TOC meeting so it's sort of public: my inside sources say your case sailed through college RPT and you're being promoted.

I'll believe it when I see it in writing, but I think I can let all tenure worries go...

Now if only I would start bleeding. Hopefully for the last time for the next 12 months or so...
