Waiting for results of CD3 testing

MoFree

I had CD3, actually CD4, testing done earlier today.  I have no reason to believe that I have an issue with DOR, but it's often asymptomatic and I wouldn't be the first one who was surprised to have it.  The RE will go over all the b/w results once he has everything and we'll go from there.

We're still not planning to begin an IVF cycle until June or July (Dh's idea, as I would start tomorrow if I could) and it still seems like such a long time to wait.  There's a strong part of me that is hoping for concerning results where it might be an issue to delay treatment another 6 months.  I don't know how I would feel if we had female issues as well as severe MFI, making treatment more complicated and lesser chance of success.  Since my husband is so focused on studying for the Bar exam and then on the trip to Ecuador that signifies far, far more than a nice vacation, I don't know if he'd even be able to give that up if my test results indicated it would be advisable to start now rather than wait a few more months.

Why does this have to be so friggin difficult and why do I make myself sick with anxiety about "what if."

I'm sorry, Molly.  I was thinking similar things before getting DH's results.  I knew there were several issues with me, and was kind of hoping he would share some of the burden.  Logically, I knew I didn't want any more issues to deal with as they would just make our journey that much more difficult.  But I just wanted to know that it wasn't "all my fault."  I hope you get good results from your testing today and that either 1) time flies by until summer's here and it's your turn to do IVF... or 2) your husband comes around to starting IVF sooner.  *hugs*

  Thanks for your insights.

There's a part of me that is hoping to discover a fertility issue on my part.  I think that somehow it would be easier to cope with an interminable wait if it were partly "my fault" rather than strictly my husband's.  If everything comes out normal on my end, I don't see my husband coming around sooner.  In fact, I just hope it doesn't give him the false security of thinking we can delay IVF even more.

oh cutie, i can relate to wanting to find something wrong with me too so DH wouldn't blame himself so much, well, now there is something wrong with me, i can't stay pregnant. 

so my hope for you is that you have no issues at all and that your DH comes around and you can cycle earlier or as planned and that the times goes by quickly.

((HUGS)) cutie, you've had a rough road and i hope very soon we are both celebrating sticky BFP's

I'm hoping you get good results, you just don't want more to battle than you have to. June/July will come quicker than you think, and there is still plenty for you to work on to maximize your chances. Break cycles aren't necessarily inactive cycles. Big hugs, I know the waiting is so hard.

I'm so sorry sweetie, you guys have really been through the wringer.  Here's hoping for great news from your RE

Was your RE going to run an AMH as well?  I just ask because my CD 3 blood work came back fine but then when he did an AMH it came back low.  I was very shocked because the whole time we always thought we only had MFI.  Good luck!  I hope your results are good and you have nothing to worry about.

Sorry you are feeling down. Hopefully you will check out just fine. It's smart to get it done sooner than later. 6 months is a long time, but I am sure it will be here before you know it.

Big (((HUGS))) I hope that your test results come back great, and I hope that the next few months can fly by so that you can begin your IVF cycle!
