To Pee Or Not To Pee

Yesterday we had our first appointment at Rouge Valley Fertility Clinic. I was a bit hesitant from the reviews I read about them not being empathetic, but have so far found the opposite. I think it's hard for them to be empathetic to every patient that walks through those doors and it certainly doesn't help if you are hormonally charged.

We had blood work done, I had an u/s, and tomorrow I am scheduled for an Endometrial Sample. I was supposed to start my antibiotics this morning for the test tomorrow. But I thought, hmm I've been having some major cramps, I don't have my usual acne pre-period break out which I should by now. So let me double check...so this morning I took a FRER test.

Honestly I saw a line. A million things went through my mind. "ok don't get your hopes up"...."oh I wonder if it will be a boy or a girl"..."I wonder if I can cancel my testing for tomorrow"..."no this can't be a positive". I have never gotten an evaporation line with them before so I thought let me phone the fertility clinic and cancel my appointment so we don't risk having a miscarriage. At the same time I didn't get my hopes up because the line didn't have colour to it. Lo and behold, the clinic calls me back 3 hours later...the reason for the delay? She said she wanted to run my blood work from the previous day to see if I was pregnant. I said "well??? what's the result?" She said "oh yeah it was 0 -- see you tomorrow for the test"...oh.....thanks....well on to the invasive tests and another cycle failed under our belts.

  2. First of all, I'm glad you've gotten the process under way with the fertility clinic. Yay!

    Second...UGH! No matter what, I think those tests are rough. The waiting! The wondering! The obsessive thoughts. Yup, no fun at all. And the ambiguous lines. No wonder you were getting excited! I would have been too!!

    I think it's so great that you have as much support on your side as possible for getting pregnant with Liam's little sibling. I wonder if you'll get a little boy or a little girl!! :)
