Keep Calm and....

     Well, it is now three hours after my first appointment about infertility, and I still can't keep the smile off my face!  While I wasn't given an all clear, or all the answers I was looking for, I was given a sense of hope, and that means the world to me.

     Let me start by saying that I am so glad  I chose the doctor that I did.  He has the same sense of humor that I do, is easy to get along with, straight forward, and most of all, hopeful.  He asked me a huge amount of questions (which I was already prepared for thanks to some internet research).

      And instead of saying "Well, let's give it some more time" he said "We can draw blood today and start the tests if that's what you want?"  If that's what I want?!  Heck yes that's what I want, are you kidding?!  That's exactly what I want! And that's exactly what we did!  I had to have blood drawn (uuuuuugghhh).  While I was waiting, I got to watch a lady have her blood drawn.  They tried four different veins and got nothing.  She looked over at me and laughed and said "You're awfully pale".  Yeah.  I'm about to pass out but thanks!  After rescheduling her appointment, it was my turn. And I didn't even cry....too much.  I wasn't able to watch the blood be drawn.  However, I survived it and know I can do it without passing out.

     I go back Thursday to get the results from this test (THS levels and something else that starts with a P that I can't remember for the life of me) and have an ultra sound done, but I'll spare you the details for that one.  One last thing, as he was leaving the exam room, he looked back at said "Get ready.  If I don't have you pregnant this month, you will be next month".  Guess I better get myself ready for those two lines on the pee stick!
