A day of ups and downs

For a day I had been looking forward to for months and months (first day of clomid!), it did not go exactly as planned. A few times I was like, is this really happening. Here's how it played out:

• Hurricane Hermine moves through our region and dumps over a foot of rain in 12 hours and I step in a 4 inch puddle getting to my car to head to the doctor at 8am - my feet were completely soaked until about 3pm
• The ultrasound tech tells me that I have a large cyst on my right ovary - she'll need to check with Dr. K. Doctor says we'll need to check hormone levels to see if the cyst is wreaking any havoc to my reproductive ability. If my hormones are out of whack, we'll have to sit this cycle out (WHAT!!!....NOOOOOOO)
• Finally get a call at 5pm (i was beginning to majorly freak out) that all is good and i can go forward with the clomid.
• See a double rainbow!!! This has to be a good sign!!
• Step on someone's gum outside of Babies R US!! This has to be a BAD sign. ;-( (Of course i was there buying ANOTHER shower gift)
• The lady in the pharmacy drive thru tells me that my insurance only covers clomid if I get advanced approval (are you kidding me? Who has time for advanced approval on this road race....i just got approval from my doc to take it hours ago and i need to get those pills into my bod TODAY! Yes, yes, yes....I will pay for the clomid out of pocket, GIVE IT TO ME BEFORE I JUMP THROUGH THIS DRIVE THRU TUBE AND RIP IT OUT OF YOUR HANDS!!

So maybe in hindsight my day wasn't that dramatic, but let me tell you, as i hobbled there in the parking lot scraping neon yellow gum off of my shoe with a grocery store reward card, i thought, can this get any better!!
