Meaning they are sloooowwwwwwww. Yesterday's ultrasound doesn't show much activity. 1 follicle total measuring about 6.5. Not good. Doc says this is not surprising given my issues. He didn't want me getting discouraged yet, as he said it's just too soon to tell anything. I'll have another ultrasound on Wednesday morning to see how things are coming along. He also said I should count on having to take these meds for more than 10 days. Cool. More stabbing, though I'm doing really well with all that now. If I ever become a drug addict, I'm going to be REALLY good at it!
I got teary alot yesterday. It's the first time I actually thought, "Shit, this may not work." and that terrified me. I've been so chock full of hope, I just refused to believe it wouldn't work, that we would get our miracle. I'm going to try to get out of this funk by going to yoga and doing something that makes me feel good.
On another note, I've been having some terrible cramping in my bowels and pelvic region. At first I thought I was constipated or something, then realized it's the medications aggravating my endometriosis. Joy. I didn't want to take anything, but finally caved yesterday, as I just couldn't stand it anymore. Been poppin' Tylenol like chiclets.
Something awesome did happen yesterday. After my appointment, HB and I stood in line, in the cold, to meet our idol, the rock star of cooking, Thomas Keller of French Laundry. Truly, the man is a genius. Here's a link to the pics:

My toes felt like little frozen grapes, but it was TOTALLY worth it. The chef de cuisine at his restaurant Ad Hoc was there and was posing for the photos as well. While in line, HB and I plotted how to best postion ourselves so we could later crop that dude out. Terrible, I know, but we were there to see Thomas!
They make the most amazing fried chicken at Ad Hoc. HB and I had a fried chicken night with our foodie homeys to try out the recipe. Just for kicks, we used 4 different types of chickens to see if there was any difference (there was). It was loads of fun and a great story to tell Thomas (we're on a first name basis now ;-) He seemed mildly impressed we used a variety of chickens and asked which we liked best. Definitely a brush with greatness. Despite not feeling exceptionally merry yesterday, got a Chrimmus tree and got it decorated. It looks beautiful!
Alright, must motivate self to do something productive. I will not let this funk defeat me!
