Wednesday, Drew and I went and got our blood drawn. He only had to have 3 vials...I had to have 6. Yuck! I hate having my blood drawn, so I thought I'd let Drew go first...he's a pretty quick drainer and was done in less than 5 minutes! I wasn't ready for my turn. The lab tech was really nice and talked through the whole thing. It only took one try to find a vein (thank God) and then...I wouldn't drain. My blood was not having that nonsense. Eventually, after stretching out my arm and wiggle the needle a little, she got my 6 vials. It felt like it took an eternity, but probably didn't take longer than 10 minutes. When we were leaving she said we would have all our results by Friday.
Well, it's Friday...and...EVERYTHING CAME BACK NORMAL! My TSH and Prolactin levels are normal, which means PCOS and thyroid issues aren't something we have to worry about on top of the male factor! I did some research on some things that were a little low (but still in the normal range) and I have low iron so I will be supplementing my current daily doses of evening primrose oil, prenatal, folic acid,and vitamin C with iron. I swear my kitchen is turning in an herbal shop between all the pills Drew and I are taking!
Now, I'm just waiting for my monthly guest to show her ugly face so I can call and schedule my HSG to make sure my tubes are good to go....and then it's waiting for September!
