the beginning; or a new beginning; or the start of something
Today is CD1.
I was nervous that AF was going to play hard to get this month, but she finally arrived. Of course, she waited until I was at work in a dress, but whatever.
Monday, I have my CD3 bloodwork. This is the first CD3 bloodwork I've had where I've needed to fast. I think it's a good thing that I'm finally having to starve myself for some test results! They will be checking:
I have to fast all day, though! I'm going to be a cranky mess of a woman. Luckily there is a Panera nearby, and we should have time to grab something before the orientation. I'm sure there's a cafeteria in the hospital as well, so either way, I'll get some food in my belly.
So I guess these are the first steps on the way to my first IVF. I'm anxious, apprehensive and nervous. I hope I start to feel excited soon...

- E2
- FSH
- LH
- TSH
- Free T4
- Fasting Prolactin
- Rubella
- and an ultrasound

Good luck! I know I couldn't handle not eating until then...well I probably could but I'm sure someone would either die or get cut for saying anything to me that wasn't "here's a cookie".
ReplyDeleteWow it is really begining! I am so excited for you! I hope all goes well!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the all day fasting, I would be one cranky biotch at that point!
Cant wait to follow your journey! Praying it's a short journey to your BFP!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad AF timed it so you can do the blood work on Monday, though it sucks you have to fast ALL day. :( I'll be about two weeks behind you, cycle-wise. See you at orientation!
ReplyDeletefirst and last, hopefully. Good luck to you both
