So, Monday is the day I go in to see how my thyroid is doing. I am nervous. I feel like I am going to take a test I did not have a chance to study for. There is not much that I can do to help my thyroid along other than hope it works. I take my medicine in the morning and a seaweed pill at night to help it, but that is about it. I am one of those people that over prepares. For example, I plan to pee on 3 tests this next cycle. 1 when I first wake up 1 around 10:30am/11 and one around 3/4pm. Seems excessive, right? Well, I am an overly prepared control freak, so just seems like the right amount for me.
All this I am still doing at work without anyone knowing, so I have a bag I lug to the bathroom and then sit in there for 5 minutes until the test comes up. I do Thai Chi and dance around and make faces in the mirror to make the time pass. The nice thing is our bathrooms are private and large, so I have room to dance around and such. In case you didn’t notice, I don’t sit still very well:)
At this point in my peeing adventures, I am wondering what the front desk staff is saying about me. I have to breeze by them from my office, so they probably know the bag I bring into the bathroom. Maybe they just assume I am bleeding and it is full of tampons, but then why does it take 5 minutes? Maybe they think I am just wasting time and have a Nintendo DS in my bag. Probably, most of them don’t even really notice. I am a very observant person, so I would notice, but the girls are pretty busy, so maybe they don’t. Either way….here is hoping to some good test taking. -S
I always wonder what people think while I'm waiting out the OPKs in the work bathroom, too. And I find that stretching is the only activity that doesn't seem totally out of place for some reason. Good luck on Monday!
ReplyDeleteI tried to post last night and failed. My endo was WAY more positive about the whole thyroid thing and honestly the second thing I thought of (after "geez that PCP was RIDICULOUS with it") was you and your results next week. So hopeful that all goes well!
