Step one blood work

Today was my appointment at the fertility clinic to get my blood work done. I had to have a chromosome test and an infectious disease test. I have to call back Monday and find out the results of my chromosome test and I should know about my infectious disease test next week. Now I'm waiting for my period to start and within 3 days I will start medication to induce ovulation. I will also have to go in to get a baseline ultrasound done to see how my lining looks. After starting medication I will go in for another ultrasound to see how my follicles are growing and determine when to trigger ovulation. I feel positive about this direction but I am also ready for heartbreak just in case. Right now I need to focus on continuing to take care of myself and try to relax. At this point that's all I can do.

New news! 9/19/16

Hello! Wow its been a long time! I have been through so much since the last time I updated this blog. In short; I have had a pre cancer scare and had to stop ttc to deal with that. It was found through a routine altrasound with Dr. B. Then my fertility specialist wouldnt work with me until I had perfect control over my blood sugars (I'm a diabetic). Well months and months later my oncologist is just checking in with me until after pregnancy or something changes with my uterus and I have been given the green light to cont. Ttc with a NEW fertility specialist because I didnt like the way the other doctor treated me. But I really like my new RE. So, my insurance has approved me for clomid/femerea and artificial insemination. Until we can prove that it wont work we cant move on to injectables. Lots has happened and more to come! For now my job is to work on taking care of my body and making sure its ready in case I conceive!  Talk soon!
