An update... or a few

Soooo after all that, my biopsy results showed low grade displaysia so no LEEP! WOOT!! Good thing because I met with the RE for the first time later that day, and he said that I need to stop having those, and its not great I've had 2 already. Eeek.

So onto the RE update. I really liked him. If I could pick out one thing though that I don't like, is that he quickly reigned in my need to plan and try to plan the future. He didn't want to come up with any plans until after all the wonderful testing is done. Ok fair enough. That's probably how it should be. So, we chatted, absolutely did not even question why I was there. I am not sure why I was worried about that, but silly me, I worry about the little things all too often.

So the plan, testing. Another SA for hubby, and the whole gamut for me. If SA is normal, no need to see a urologist. The appointment that we already have for him on 4/15 needs to be canceled anyway as if we need to see one, then he wants us to go with his guy, who is well versed in male IF. Sounds great. Hope we don't need it and if we do it doesn't take forever to get in!

So, AF came yesterday. Its ok, I mean it means cycle 12 is here, but so is all my testing and it will be a challenge, but we might even get it all in this cycle. So tomorrow is CD3 bloodwork. Alllll the hormones being checked. Then, my HSG can be done as early as CD5. Thursday is the last day I have before my 10 day work trip so I'm working on scheduling that as we speak. Well, as I type. The next few tests, may or may not happen this cycle, as it all depends on timing. I start opks on CD10, which is normal, and when I get a positive, I call the office. The next day or following day after that, I will have an u/s to check my follies, and post-coital test (4-12 hours after sex) to see if my body is killing off hubby's sperm. Nine days after my first positive opk, they will do more blood work to check my progesterone levels. Now, if my body cooperates and I O CD 15 or later, this may all work out this cycle. If not, then I will do what I can, and finish up next cycle. Still traveling this spring, but no more long trips.

So that's that. Fingers crossed we can actually make this work. He was really excited over my insurance, and the great coverage I have for IF. Kept saying in vitro, but I'm sure we won't jump to that. The idea of that scares the shit out of me to be honest.

I would like to end by saying a huge THANK YOU to some of my biggest supporters. You know who you are, so no need to name them. They keep me sane, and are some of the best friends I could hope for. I would be lost without them. So, to them I say, I love you. xoxo
