Nurse Awesomeness...

There is nothing quite like a pap-smear to wake you up in the morning. Its funny to see an OB/GYN after a year of fertility treatments. I mean I get it, most women don't spend a significant amount of time with their pants off and feet in the stir-ups, but this girl does- so, a little swab of the cervix doesn't even phase me. It was funny when the nurse was telling me that I'd meet the doctor before I changed into the gown/sheet 'because no one wants to meet somebody for the first time naked' all I could think was... oh, if you only knew lady! 

I ended up really liking my new doctor. She is super relaxed and doesn't have much to say. I'm sure if I'd had a bunch of questions for her she would have had plenty of answers, but the truth is, I know an awful lot about my lady bits and see them on the ultra sound screen frequently. Her nurse on the other hand makes up for her calm and collected nature. She is crazy and has lots to say. We talked about doctors recognizing people by things other than their face... hilarious! That, and she had teased hair... like four inches worth all around her head. She is RAD. 

I'm so thankful that is out of the way and now I know who we'll use once we finally get pregnant and are released from our RE!

In other news one more week of BCPs, and I only have three more evenings free of syringes and needles- Lets do this!!!

It's crazy!!!! Can you believe we only take one more week of BCP? My meds arrived today. I get a bit longer reprieve than you do, since we're not doing the lupron suppression shots, but still... That giant box is intimidating!

Glad you like the new dr - and her crazy nurse! Sounds like an interesting conversation :)

I've had a nurse say that to me before too! I thought it was even stranger because then the doctor comes in and meets you and then you feel like you have to rip all off all your clothes really quickly because they are just standing outside the door waiting for you to be ready. It's just kind of silly :)
