I had both clinic check ups today. I met my new cancer doctor, who also treated my mom's breast cancer. The doctor at Loyola was just rude when we called to set up my appointment, so I decided that's it, I want to change doctors. I like him for the most part. I go again in one to two years. But I mostly got a refresher in human reproductivity lol. I guess it's because I'm 30 now and even though I don't have a husband or boyfriend and am NOT looking to get pregnant, the time is getting close to answering the question....can I even GET pregnant when I want to? My doctor said that young woman who were treated for leukemia with chemo around my age can have fertility problems later...about 40-50 percent don't ovulate after they receive treatment. I remember my period went away for a few months when I started treatment. And lately they've been regular. i can count out the days and get my period within 2-3 days, give or take. The fact that I may not even be ovulating scared the crap outta me. I mean I knew given what I've been through, having a baby might be difficult for me. I know I'd be high risk. But not being able to conceive at all...

So when I got home after my long day, I searched out and found something that gave me great relief. I even broke down and cried I was so happy to be pretty sure my body was releasing eggs during my cycle. It will be too much info than anyone wants to know about me. But I found an article about cervical fluid and how it relates to a woman's cycle. Here It Is. Let's just say...I have that during my cycle. I was actually searching to find out more about the body temperature thing, but found that article. I feel better just knowing that I'm most likely normal that way and the chemo didn't stop the ovulation process completely.

I also saw my hip doctor at Loyola. Good news there. I'm still ok. Some wear in the right hip liner. He wants me to come back in a year. Which I didn't argue with. I asked about ballpark how many years before I have to have surgery to replace the liners. He said within five years. So that's pretty much in line with what was said originally of 10-20. It's been 12 already and I'm still going strong.

And my fangirling of the day....Michael Phelps of course! Who ISN'T in love with this guy?! I watching him on the "Today" show this morning. He's kind of a nerd, but I'm a nerd too lol. I think the whole country is in love with Michael! I saw the girls on TV...marry me Michael...my olympic dream...kiss Michael Phelps, one world one kiss. I actually liked that one lol! I was like why didn't I think of that?! The guy breaks records, makes history and seems to be the same guy he always was. That's awesome. So yeah right now he's my crush. Move over AJ McLean lol! Plus he's tall...I've always had a thing for tall guys.

Well, I better get to bed soon. It was nice to have the day off, but it's back to work tomorrow. What's really cool is I have the weekend off, so it's a four day work week for me!
