Got a call from the RE's office yesterday. There was some sort of mixup and the lab didn't have enough blood to run the clotting and genetic test and they needed me to come back and give them 2 more vials. I asked if I could come right then so I didn't have to get up early today and they said yes. I was the only one in the office at 3:30 in the afternoon. Apparently all fertility treatments happen between 7:30 - 10:00 am because the office is always packed in the mornings.

I've been thinking for several days that Aunt Flo should arrive any day but I couldn't remember when the miscarriage started last month. Luckily I had called it in and the nurse checked my chart. Looks like I have a week or two more before the next cycle starts. I need to have the laparoscopy this month and I'm worried it's going to fall on the wedding weekend. I hope not because I'll have to postpone the surgery if it does since I'm the maid of honor. Brides tend to get bent out of shape when the MOH backs out last minute.

I've almost talked myself out of the surgery. Has anyone else every had the surgery and had nothing wrong in there? I've never had any symptoms of endo, I've gotten pregnant twice, and after researching PCOS ad nauseum, I really believe weight and egg quality are my biggest problems. The Dr. insists my BMI is not too high, though my family Dr would disagree with that, but I've gained 20 lbs since starting fertility treatments and I needed to lose 20 before we started trying. They say even a 5% loss of body mass can significantly improve hormone levels and egg quality.

(Diet update - still sticking with it, no cheating, weight loss has slowed a bit, but still trending down).

On a fun note, as I've been lurking and stalking these past few months I kept seeing this little box for IComLeavWe but I had no idea what it was. So I decided to click on it and find out about it. Turns out it's a great way to get more involved with others on this same path and I decided to participate this month. So far, I've "met" some really cool people and it's great to hear that you're not crazy and to find out these weird treatments and procedures I try every month are actually working for some people. It gives me a lot of hope.

Does anyone else find it hard to keep up with where you've commented? I didn't want to start at the top of the list, but I'm seeing now why that's a good idea. I tried clicking on random blogs, then I would get involved in reading the entire thing, then - did I comment? which post? maybe I left 2 comments, who knows? I feel like I've been at a college mixer, I met a whole bunch of cool chics I like and want to hang with, but I can't remember their names, or which dorm they live in (ummm, URL) and I feel like I'm never going to see them again! AAGGGHHHH! Guess I'm going to be reading EVERYONE'S blog again. Happy Reading!
