Finally, Finally, Finally March 30, 2005

I feel like I’ve been waiting forever to schedule my sonohystogram and endometrial biopsies.  Since my body finally decided to cooperate and grace me with an LH surge, I was able to schedule the tests for Monday morning.  I cannot wait to finally have all of this testing over and done with.

I got good news when I called to schedule my appointment.  Our insurance has approved not only the procedures but the anesthesia, too.  I couldn’t believe it.  I can’t do the tests without the anesthesia.  The endo biopsy catheter is bigger than the kind of catheters they use for embryo transfers, and we all know how well I fare with those.  I have to be knocked out, and even then who knows if my RE will be able to get the catheter up through my wonky cervix.  Anyway, I fully expected us to have to fork out another $500 for the anesthesia, but it looks like we won’t have to.  So, all we’ll have to pay for my big fun day of testing will be $425 for the beta 3 integrin testing.  I’ll take it.

We’re still waiting on our karyotyping results and SCSA results.  They should be coming back soon, should being the key word.   I can’t wait to have all of these results back so we can figure out the next step.  I really want to be able to do our FET by May, but who knows.  I guess we’ll just have to see how everything plays out.
