Lab Work

I went in and had all my cycle day 21 lab work done. They took somewhere around 8 vials of blood. The tech that they had draw my blood was really good. I could barely feel the needle. In a few days we will know if I have any hormone imbalances that are preventing me from getting pregnant.

I was expecting to have to pay for all the lab work since they gave me a price sheet at the fertility seminar. However, they didn't take any payment from me. They will probably just send me a bill in the mail. Lab work is usually free on my health insurance plan, so they probably didn't catch the fact that I was suppose to pay today. Here's to hoping they never realize.

They also had me do a urine test. I'm not sure what it was for and I wasn't expecting it. I had just gone to the bathroom right before I went to the lab and so it was hard to provide a sample for them. I was in the bathroom for several minutes trying to give them a few drops to test. They ended up saying that I gave them enough to do something with, so I guess that's the important part.

Now we just need to have Soren get tested soon. I'm going to remind him today that he needs to have his little swimmers tested. I'm sure he hasn't forgotten, but is probably trying to. Next step for me is the HSG. I have to call in on the first day of my next cycle to schedule the procedure.

I'm crossing my fingers that they find something that is very easy to fix.
