Lunacy and Lunar Cycles

Sadly, we realized that D wasn't pregnant on Sunday when her menstrual cycle decided to make its appearance with the full moon. Thirty-four days when she normally has a twenty-six day cycle! Seriously? D's always hated her period, but now that hate has evolved into more of an intense, seething hostility. Tomorrow, D goes in for an ovary check, which we've both decided is just an excuse to charge patients for an unneeded ultrasound. All the technician does during the first ovary check of the cycle is confirm that D's ovaries are still there. Where would they go? Anyway, after the ovary check, she'll be prescribed five days worth of Letrozole and one Oviderel (HCG) shot to induce ovulation once the follicles are large enough. Here we go again... For some reason, I think straight baby-making is more fun.
