I'm waiting!

No cramping, no spotting, no bleeding, and the test still says no. I don't really know what else to do but wait this out. When I planned on stopping my pills, this is not what I imagined happening. I was supposed to get my post-BCP bleed. And hopefully my rebound ovulation. My issue this whole time has been excessive bleeding with the pills... not this.

Oh, body... you're funny. A real joker!

I guess I'll go ahead and start charting, see what happens, and go from there. Maybe pick up some ovulation predictor tests, just in case. Maybe I'll start bleeding. Maybe I won't. Maybe I'll ovulate. Maybe... eh, I probably won't.

I'm having serious regrets over trying this damned four-phasic birth control. I mean, what is up with that anyway? Only two inactive pills in the entire pack? Everything I read online says that you're supposed to get your bleed during those pills, but I'm 2 inert pills and 2 days out... nothing. I knew what worked for me in the past and, while the bleeding was annoying, I should have just toughed it out. I know there's nothing I can do about it now, but I am extremely frustrated.

I'm scheduled for a repeat TSH draw on the 7th, but I don't know if we'll be able to get that done. My new insurance card might not be here for another week and a half, so we'll have to talk to them about how we'll handle that. It depends on how it's coded (so if it's out of pocket, it won't matter), and if I need my insurance card I'll either have to pay OOP and then request reimbursement from my new insurer, or just reschedule when I get my card.

Grumble. grumble. grumble.

The best laid plans and all that, am I right?
