Ultrasound Tommorow

Well, I took all my Clomid, and had surprisingly little abdominal tenderness whiich I had the last few times I took it. I don't know if that's good or bad, but it is. I do however have the over sensitivity to anything sappy or sad on TV. I watched Big Fat Greek Wedding and cried, I watched Judging Amy and cried, everything I watch on TV makes me cry.

I have my ultrasound tommorow morning, then Saturday we're having our Christmas party at our house, which is going to be bigger than we had thought, but hopefully will be fun. I just hope that they see a nice big follicle and that we can trigger ovulation and do the IUI mid next week so that I don't have to call off work.

Although, I don't know that I'd mind having an extra day off work, but I know that staffinig has been bad this week since they called me this morning to see if I wanted to pick up an extra shift. Any other day, I would have, but yesterday was so terrible that I just couldn't face going in to work at all! I was charge (the charge nurse deals with deciding when admissions come into the unit, assigning them rooms, doing the assignments for the next shift, and answering any questions that the other nurses either don't know the answer to, or just don't have the time to deal with) However, the charge nurse has patients too, which are supposed to be light patients, but in the ICU the status of our patients changes from minute to minute. We were also coding three patients simultaniously throughout the day. (a code is cardiac or respiratory arrest, where we try to re-start the heart with drugs or with shocks, and by the way, we don't use paddles anymore like you see on ER, we have pads that stick to the patient and we just push a button on the machine that delivers the shock, it's much less dramatic than it looks on TV). So, I had my hands full yesterday and a patient that was extremely time consuming and was charge, so it pretty much sucked yesterday.

I just hope this cycle works....
