Bebe - Good luck tomorrow!
Aurora - Congrats! Ugh, a half-hour delay would have killed me with that full bladder. Glad you were able to relax and laugh - that goes a long way. We were laughing at my transfer because the doctor walked in and announced, "The blackberries are ripe on the Amazon bike path." And then he had to clarify that that wasn't code for anything... he was really talking about blackberries. We giggled about that for a while. It definitely helps with the speculum fear.
Redbean - I can't believe you feel so sick already! Let's hope it levels off before the school year. Going back to teaching is what I'm most nervous about. I teach choir, and I need to make it fun and set a good tone for the year or some kids will just quit. Right now, I can't imagine having the energy to do that. And the logistics of running to puke and/or pee will be another whole story.
Letsgo - I don't have experience with low estrogen levels, but I do have experience with estrogen levels suddenly rising a lot. Hopefully that'll happen to you! I'm sure they needed to warn you about the worst-case scenario of canceling, but fingers crossed that they won't have to go through with that.
Lizzie - Just when you think you're feeling better, eczema? We get no break. I've come to terms with the fact that I will feel unattractive for the foreseeable future. It'll be worth it in the end.
Nobump - I hope you will be pleasantly surprised by AF being easier this month. I was on Lupron before my last AF, which I think does similar things, and I hardly bled at all and had none of my usual fatigue or pain.
Emmi - 6 weeks! That's crazy. In comparison, August 11 is right around the corner.
AFM (now I feel left out not using that acronym), I feel even worse today but I'm definitely consoled and excited that it's a good sign. It hurts to move or shift my weight and I can't take deep breaths. Actually the worst part of the breathing thing is that I can't sneeze! I get halfway through - the breathing in part - and it hurts so much that my body interrupts it and doesn't do the satisfying part. I'm a mess. I've also been sweating around the clock, even in air conditioning, and if I get too warm I get dizzy and nauseous.
I called my clinic yesterday and the nurse was excited. She said I just need to keep drinking lots. I asked if I should be resting or if it's good to try to move around and she said, "Well, assuming this does result in a pregnancy, the symptoms will be sticking around for a while. So it's not really practical to rest. Just rest when you can." So glad I have another 3 weeks off from work! Fingers crossed it'll feel at least somewhat better before then.
I called my parents yesterday and my dad answered on speakerphone, so I said, "Hello, cancer-free grandfather!" And he said, "Hello! How are... wait... what? What was the second thing you said?" And then my mom started freaking out in the background.
Hope you're all well today!
the cramps from EC seem to have eased off and i just have small aches and pains and tiredness but all of that is pretty much situation normal in the lead up to AF so hey ho. Fun fun fun!!
it worked for Emmi. It'll work for you, too. 
which puts the pressure right back on. Staying positive though. 
I hope it gets sorted for you quickly.
I teach too. I'm not looking forward to heading back just yet, but all the prep will be a nice distraction if I make it to the 2ww stage. 
haha). I LOVE how you told your folks!!! I'm so happy for you and all your family.
and I am glad I got to see it happen.
Sorry to sound mean but it just really deflated me and made me feel so inadequate and jealous 
and I hate feeling like a covetous cow.
