cd 2

So AF arrived late yesterday afternoon.  I called the nurse at 2:30 to say it was here, even though it wasn't, but I knew it was going to come since by that time it had turned to red spotting.  I didn't want to wait another day and be forced to drive to Lexington.  Surprisely though I didn't have to go for cd 3 testing, only do a beta so I went in this morning.  AF did real her ugly face about an hour after I talked to the nurse so in reality it did turn out to be day 1 yesterday.

So this morning I had to make the trek in to have my blood drawn for a pregnancy test because they won't let me start the pill otherwise.  I find this really stupid since 99% of the women who take the pill don't need to do a beta before starting it.  For 99% of the pop'n a period means not pregnant.  Yet since we are IF we have to deal with this crap of not having people believe that you got AF and are not pregnant so instead we have to be poked some more to have a stupid test done to say yep there is 0 pregnancy hormone here.  You know because it is just so likely that IF women are pregnant from a natural cycle and that heavy bleeding and cramping is just so common in pregnancy!!

Anyways low and behold the nurse calls me a few hours later and everything is good to go tomorrow to start the pills so guess we can conclude this is a real AF.  Not like I would question it with the amount of pain I am in.  I mean really if I did conceive it would be long gone by now from the amount of blood and cramps.

Oh and I also stopped in at CVS and asked the pharmist about my leftover bcp's.  She agreed that for my packs the active pills are all the same so that means I don't need to waste $15 buying a new pack for only 10 nights.  I wasn't going to ask the nurse this since last time she told me "no buy a new a pack to start".  I couldn't really seeing throwing out $15 every cycle to only use half a pack of bcp.
So now I just need to reorder the rest of my meds, which should be in the tune of $105 and we will be good to go.

I go back on June 5 for my suspession check so it is looking like ER will be around June 22.  Still no letter yet about my citizenship interview so I am hoping this means that it won't be until July.  The other possiblity is it got lost in the mail so I hope that isn't that case.  Anyways looks like it most likely be during ER time which is good.  I can't say the same thing about ET yet though.
