Post ODWU Updates

Is it possible that I'm still exhausted from Colorado?  Most of it is mental exhaustion and I'm still working on just processing everything that took place at the ODWU.  I feel like I have so much to read up on and get organized - to include making a decision about local monitoring for a couple of blood draws and ultrasounds that I'll eventually need to have done.

As far as updates go, Nick received his results on Wednesday (so quick) from our nurse and everything looks great - he passed all categories.  This didn't come as a surprise to me since we already knew that Nick's not the problem.  Getting the reassurance did feel good, though.  Now we await my results.  I told our nurse that unlike Nick, I on the other hand, most definitely won't pass all categories.  I'm so anxious to hear what my AMH level is - I've only ever had my FSH tested and so, I'll be on pins and needles until that result is in.

In other news, today I was able to confirm that my already scheduled endometrial biopsy for the BETA 3 integrin test falls perfectly within my cycle.  CCRM wants this test done 9 to 11 days post LH surge.  My surge was today and my biopsy is scheduled for April 22nd - HUGE sigh of relief there.  I wasn't looking forward to potentially needing to reschedule this with my ObGyn's office. 

And finally, as of this afternoon, I have a re-group phone consult scheduled with our doctor at CCRM for the beginning of May (!!).  This gives me enough time to have my day 3 blood drawn, frozen and shipped to Colorado. 

It all just seems so far away... and waiting is the.worst!  I'm praying that the next couple of weeks fly by, with a few good results sprinkled in there somewhere.

I'm hoping your results come back just as good!! No matter what, you're at a great place that will be able to put a plan in place regardless of the numbers. They are just that, numbers. (How many times have I had to tell myself that same thing!) Glad the timing of everything is falling into place. Sometimes that can be the biggest pain of all. So excited for you!!!

Sounds like things are falling in place!! Glad that nothing crazy popped up with Nick!

I'm so glad that your husband passed, I'm sure that makes things a little easier...

That's great news that the timing for the test worked out, I love it when that happens!! Good luck on the tests, and of course with your regroup too!! They are so thorough with the ODWU, so it's a lot of info you get all at once, but it's really good to have all that new information and know where you're going to be going from there. I'm so excited for you guys!!!

It's so weird, May seems like so far away still, but it's actually quite close, we're almost halfway through April already! I'm sure it will be here before you know it! :)

Yay! Everything is moving right along! I know it seems so long away, but things do seem to falling into place! Hopeful your results come back soon!

It's always good not to be surprised, so I'm glad hubby's SA came back as expected. Fingers crossed for good numbers for you too!

It sounds like everything is right on track so far. Hoping for better-than-expected test results for you! Good luck! And you're very organized-- that's a lot to coordinate!!

Glad everything is well with your husband!!! Praying for you while you wait!!

Sounds like you are making some headway already. I hope your AMH levels come back just fine, but I also hope you won't take that number too terribly serious either. I know it has a purpose, but it's still a fairly new number for RE's....one that does fluctuate between labs drawing it and at various times. Mine was 0.88 when first tested (was diagnosed with DOR at that time) and 6 months later it went up to 1.88...much healthier level. Anyhoo, I just want you to know it's not the be all end all BEFORE you even get your results back. It is good to have though, so I'm glad you're getting it done.

Glad hubby's stuff came back so well, and I hope there will be many more positives to come in the process!

Praying that these next few weeks go by quickly and that you are able to get your mind off of it!(I know, that's basically impossible!)
Much love!

Yay for your husbands results coming back so positive! Now let's hope yours are better than expected. May seems far away, but it will be here before you know it!
