Saturday, August 11, 2012 What a day. I started off at CPL around 8:10am to get my estradiol levels drawn. I had acupuncture at 9:00am and then my ultrasound at 10:15am.

Blood Work & Ultrasound
Wednesday, February 22, 2012 Since the last ultrasound was kind of uncomfortable I decided to take half a xanax. That actually worked quite well.
