On Wednesday we had our first appointment with an RE in Penn Hills. This was the much anticipated appointment where I had hoped to get some sort of plan.
What we (I) ended up getting was another month chocked full of testing. I will have 3 more appointments during my next cycle. The first appointment will be blood work only and will occur on the 3rd day of my upcoming cycle. Not too bad except for the fact that the clinic is in Penn Hills and approx. 2 hours away. This is my only option since the clinic wants to do their own testing in their own lab. The second appointment could be a little tricky. Basically I have to pee on a stick (Ovulation Prediction Kit) for a week during ovulation - this must occur before 6:45am. On the day that I get a positive result, indicating ovulation, I must call the clinic between 6:45 and 7:00 am. Then I will proceed to the clinic for blood work and an ultrasound. The ultra sound will hopefully verify that I am producing eggs and that they are being released. The third appointment will occur at the end of November. This appointment will be another consultation with the doctor to discuss the test results and come up with our plan.
This should all prove to be interesting as I have not shared any of this with my boss. I will potentially need 3 days off in the upcoming cycle - 2 of them at the drop of a hat. I really hate calling in sick, but I'm not ready to share this one yet. Everyone deserves to have a secret or two, right?
