So Tuesday was our appt for a whole bunch of labs & a few u/s's. We were scheduled for 1:30 so we could get there in plenty of time since there is a good 2 1/2 hour drive from us. About 8:15 I get a call from the nurse to see if we can come in earlier in the morning. I tell her about the drive & tell her we can be there by noon. DH decided to dilly dally that morning!!!!
So we drive........and drive.........and drive so more....LOL!!! It actually wasn't too bad. We get to the parking lot at noon. As soon as we pull in I get a call from the nurse to see how far we've gotten & tell her we will be there in a few minutes.
We checked in & they took us back right away. I went in the u/s room & the RE was very patient & nice to me. :-) Even though I've had this done before he still explained what he was doing & why. He showed me the catheter & everything. First went in the speculum which was the worst of it. After that he added the fluid so my uterus would open up & did the mock transfer. He then checked my ovaries & off I went!
As I was leaving the room DH finished with his labs. They needed to take about 15 tubes of my blood!!!!! Now I knew these autoimmune labs would cost us a few bucks but I nearly passed out when the tech told us they came to $1100 for the both of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh well, not much we could do at that point, they needed to be done. We were out of there in about an hour then went ot get some lunch. I was a little uncomfortable with some cramping but it was A-OK! I just need to get 1 lab done here locally since it needs to be a fasting blood test & all my pre-testing is DONE!!!
As I'm finishing up this blog post I got a call that my results are in so I'm scheuled for a phone appt on Monday to get those. Hopefully all is good & we are on our way!!!! I will update after that unless something else comes up before then. :-)
