One More Crossed Off the List March 14, 2005
I tell ya, I’m beginning to feel like a lab rat. We can cross one more test off of the list, though, because my husband and I went and got our blood drawn this morning for our karyotype tests. Next up- the ever so fun pap and “well woman exam.” What a name. I doubt I qualify as a “well woman.” Anyway, I’ll get that over with on Wednesday, and while I’m there I’ll get my OB/GYN to run my viral blood tests again. You know, the ones to make sure I haven’t caught an infectious disease in the past 6 months. My RE requires them to be updated that often, so I guess I better get them done if I ever want to cycle again.
In other testing news, my RE’s office faxed a form over to my husband at work on Friday so that he could officially release the sperm for the SCSA testing. The thing had to be notarized and everything. Luckily my husband’s secretary is a notary, as are most of the secretaries in the firm, so that wasn’t a problem. I asked him if it was weird having his secretary notarize a sperm form, but he said that it was all written in code. You know, MESA, SCSA, etc.
I still haven’t been able to schedule my sonohystogram and endo biopsies, because my body is being a slow poke this cycle. I’m on cycle day 18 and still no darn LH surge. I had to go out and buy a second box of those stupid OPK’s this weekend. Ugh. I hate having to pee on those stupid things every day. I wish my body would just hurry up and cooperate.
I can’t wait to have all of this testing done. I do feel like we’re making some progress, though. I guess sometimes you have to go backwards before you can go forwards again.

Yay. I know it’s a pain in the ass but I feel that you’re making progress too.
I wish you luck with all your testing. I know how nerve wracking it is to wait for results. Best of luck especially with the SCSA results.
xxoo,
