Hurry Up........and wait

Wednesday 9-2-09 update:
Tuesday was our doctors appointment. It went really good. I have ovulatory dysfunction. I knew I was dysfunctional but I never thought that area would be the area of diagnosis.
I have to do blood tests and a sonogram Wednesday at 1:00. Then Wilson is getting his swimmers tested Thursday at 10:30.
I really feel good about this guy. We talk to the nurse first and she gets our info and then we go into the Dr.’s office and wait for him. While we are in there Wilson said “You did good picking this guy”. I said “How do you know – we haven’t even seen him yet”. He said “Tonya, read his card he is the Director of Infertility and Assisted Reproductive Technologies for all of Presbyterian Hospital!”. I was like “are you serious”. So we got the top guy.
We told him about Dr. Salter and him doing NOTHING. He was writing his name down and asking what city and hospital he was out of and then he looked up and said “why do I care who he is – he didn’t do a damn thing for you – that’s why you’re here!” Like I said, I like him. He gave me the name and number of an OBGYN and Wilson said “so is this guy that you are referring us to – is he going to be more aggressive than Dr. Salter?” and Dr. Rodriguez said “No. This is for after I get you pregnant so you will be seeing him soon”.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed!!!!!


Thursday 9-3-09 update:
Well the initial consultation went good but it’s been downhill since then.
I went back yesterday to get my sonogram and blood work done. My blood would not cooperate so I will probably have to go back again. Holy S I just looked down and I have the biggest freakin bruise on my arm from where she tried to take blood. My sister said she must have “blew the vein”.
So the bad news, or potentially bad news is, that I have ovarian cysts. I don’t think that it is all that big of a deal but I’m not really a doctor – I just play one on the internet. They said they won’t have my blood work back until probably Friday morning and then they are closed at noon on Friday so it will probably be Tuesday before I know anything.
I know I have 2 cysts on one side and 1 cyst on the other side. The nurse did say that they are not large enough to be worried about so that is good. I have been doing some reading in my medical text book (aka the internet) and they say unless they are a certain type of cyst it does not interfere with fertility. Crossing my fingers.
Wilson had his little swimmers tested this morning and they are suppose to be sending those findings over right now. I’m sure we will just find out everything when we go back in. I still have to wait until I start again before I can do the dye test to check and see if my tubes are blocked. That has to be done day 6-10 after you start so now it’s just a waiting game, again.
The nurse did tell me yesterday that they will probably put me on the pill for a little while. She was telling me because she didn’t want me to freak out when I come back and they say that I need to go on the pill. It just seems so counter productive.
I want to start Chlomid TODAY but it doesn’t look like they are going to let me. I guess since they are the professionals I will do as I am told.
