Hello, all! Sorry for being MIA. I just needed some time away from the forums to chill out a bit.
Bright - I think of you often and am so hopeful that we'll hear good news from you soon. Glad you are feeling better.
Firecracker - I was sad to read that last cycle didn't work for you and that this cycle's meds do the trick for you. I also wish you luck as you transition into your new job in the coming months.
Tammy - Good luck with your job interview!! I can't believe how much you have going on.
Hope everyone else is hanging in there, as well.
So... last cycle was another bust for us, so during my visit to my doctor on Friday, we talked about next steps. Thankfully, we are starting all the necessary tests ASAP. Today is CD3 for me, so I'll go in for bloodwork this afternoon. DH is going to get his swimmers tested next Monday, and I'll have an SHG a week from Wednesday. I'm very, very excited to know we'll have a lot more information within a few weeks. Depending on the results, we may be referred to an RE, but until then, I can have everything done with my current doctor, who I love.
I also discovered someone here at work who is going through all the same testing right now. She had her first child through an IUI using donor sperm a few years ago. She and her DH are going to try to have another, so they have to start all over again. It was great to get her perspective.
The sort of scary news is that during my exam on Friday, my doctor noticed a bit of an abnormality in my right breast, so she's requesting that I go for a diagnostic mammogram, which I have scheduled a week from Friday. She told me not to worry, that it's likely just an assymetric density of the tissue, but... ugh. I am definitely a bit tense about this and praying that it's nothing.
So that is my update. Will try to be more of a "regular" around here now that my work life has settled down a bit.
