I received a ton of paperwork in the mail from the RE, including prescriptions for DH and I to have blood screening done at an outside lab, a genetic screening blood test for me to have done in the office, and notes for me to set up a semen analysis for DH and a water sono for me after AF arrives. I am trying to get everything done as soon as possible so I don't have to worry about anything.
So- Saturday DH and I went over to the lab for the screening. The place was so packed that people were literally spilling into the hallway. We sat there for an hour (which wasn't too bad-surprisingly) and were the last ones called in. DH hates needles and having blood drawn so I was hoping they wouldn't take too much from him. They took 6 vials. Not too bad. I had 12 taken from me. I couldn't believe how much blood they took from me! Once we sign the HIV consent forms, we will be done with that portion.
This morning I went to the office to have my blood drawn to start Provera. It will most likely be 10 mg for 5 days. AF usually shows about 2 days after the last pill. Once CD1 rolls around I make my appointment for CD3 BW/Sono, and start BCP if everything looks good.
That's also when I pay my bill. Yuck.
I scheduled DH's semen analysis for this Sunday. That's also when we will sign the HIV consent forms and the grant papers (because they need to witness our signatures).
I finally feel like I am understanding a little bit better.
I'm definitely excited, but am not feeling to enthusiastically that this will work. I don't know if that's just my mind not letting me get my hopes up too much, or if I just have a gut feeling about it.
We are going to see Josephine the psychic medium on December 9th, so maybe she'll tell me if it worked or not.
Yes- i'm serious.
P.S. The picture at the top is not me! =)
