We got to the hospital, I registered at the front desk and then we walked down to the blood lab. We walked in and took a seat in the waiting room. Just my luck, an episode of Friends was on the TV. Great, right? Wrong... this was the episode where Monica and Chandler's surrogate gave birth to their twins. Seriously?! I can't escape pregnancies. They are EVERYWHERE... except in MY uterus! Anyway, I digress... I placed my shipping kit on the seat next to me (I brought the entire kit just in case... what if the Phlebotomist wanted/needed to see it??) and waited my turn. Blood draws don't bother me in the least at this point... A quick pinch and a few moments later I was done...
When we got home, I put my blood (is it blood at this point, or just plasma?! Mom, please help here!) in the freezer and then got to stressing out about actually shipping it to CCRM. Day 3 blood is stressful! My plan is to leave work early today so that I can be sure to get home in time to package everything up in the shipping kit (which sounds much easier than I'm sure it will be...) and make it to FedEx prior to their last pick up at 6 p.m. Wow, I'm stressed! Wish me luck...
...And please pray for good results. I'll just die if my FSH result comes back higher than my highest-ever of 18.6.

I am choosing to believe the Friends episode was a GOOD sign rather than a "in your face" sign :) Praying as always!
You and your mom are adorable!! Holy cow, that blood process sounds, er, like a pain in the ass?!?! LOL. I am hoping and praying that your FSH is much lower this time around. I didn't realize ours were so close. My high was 18.5. Damn you FSH. Fingers and toes crossed for great results!!
how sweet that your mom went with you! Hope the shipping process goes smoothly! And praying for a normal range FSH!!!
Umm, that is stressful... I guess the alternative is to always have your ODWU on day three, which would also be exceptionally stressful. Sorry, girl! Hopeful that you've got great news coming to you soon!
Wow, this has certainly been quite the ordeal for you so far! That is so great that your mom was able to come with you though, somehow moms just make everything better!! And you guys still look great considering the lack of a shower that morning.
I'm praying for good news with the blood/plasma (I don't know either lol)results! :)
Those FedEx workers just never know what kind of things they're dealing with, do they?! Praying all the details get worked out and good results come back!
Such cute pics of you & your mom! I hate waiting for test results. I hope yours surprise you in a good way :)
Ha ha I never get sick of the word selfie! Love the pictures! That sounds stressful. Maybe I am new to all this, but I have never heard of shipping your own lab work. :)
Thanks for posting such a lovely picture of me NOT!!! And yes as your Mom and your personal nurse, after you spin the blood and they take out the red blood cells you are left with the yellowish liquid, that is plasma. Hope shipping went well. Thanks for a fun weekend, even without water. Hope shipping went ok. 143 xoxo Mom
Praying for awesome results lower than your lowest FSH. How about that??? :)
So glad you have your mom around to be there with you. Ya'll are too cute together!
Fingers crossed those results come back good. CCRM are fast at giving the results, so you won't have to wait much longer. Everything regarding IF is stressful isn't it? Well, you are done with one part of it now. Good job!
BTW, you and your mom look so alike!! Cute pictures!
That is quite something you have to organize to get your testing completed at CCRM. Glad you had your mom there to support you. The two of you are so adorable, than you for sharing the pictures.
Fingers crossed that you get some good results!!!!
GOOD LUCK AUBREY!
WE ARE THINKING OF YOU!
That's a lot to do! I am sending lots of positive thoughts for your bloodwork.
Sorry you are going through all this stress but I am glad your mom was there by your side. Moms do make everything better. You definitely look a lot like your mom.
all this tissue shipping sounds stressful! wishing you good luck for the package and, of course, the results!
You and your mom are simply adorable. I would have never known you didn't shower because you look gorgeous. Anyway, so nice that your mom was able to be there with you. Hope you got everything shipped off without a hitch and you get good results.
