So DH and I were able to get a jump on our fertility testing process, when I found out that the nurse pract could help me-- which is different than I was told on the phone by the schedulers. I've had progesterone blood work done and glucose testing (history of diabetes on both sides of my family), and DH did his S/A today. I'll go back next week for the Day 3 blood work (I blocked out a week's worth of testing slots in anticipation-- ok, just because my anxiety is in full-force). And we'll get results on 4/16. This is MUCH better than getting the processed started on 4/6, which was the last plan we had before I went to the nurse for my annual (which came back normal).
On a sadder note, I've decided to skip Easter with DH's fam because I don't want the questioning of "when are YOU guys going to have kids" because his bro & sis-in-law are preg now. It all stems from the uncles giving us both a hard time over Christmas, before we knew that BIL/SIL were expecting. I know I should be mature and suck it up, but I just don't want to put myself through a pity-party on Easter. It can wait until the next family function.
That's all the news I have... Glad to see that some of you are having much better luck than the last time I was on!!!
Re: Just my update
just wanted to say good luck with this cycle. glad you are getting to start quickly.
as for skipping the holiday, don't ever feel guilty about taking care of yourself. IF sucks, so do whatever you need to to stay sane.
