So... I just realized that due to my "disney commando style" family members that showed up last week, I didn't get to update you all on this... (among other things, I know)...
On Thursday, July 2 - I went for my bloodwork at one of the Quest Labs in Kissimmee... (thanks Mike for the tip, there was a very short wait and the waiting crowd didn't make me squirm). Once the phlebotamist (sp) was done, I asked how long the results would take. She told me three to four days
I was thinking a myriad of things... do these people realize I can pee on a stick and have a result in 3 minutes or that when I get tested at my doctor's office I have the results in 4-5 hours, and do they even give a rats backend? I guess because 7/4 landed on a Saturday, all Quest labs were closed on Friday 7/3... Anyway, I was polite (didn't want her "losing" my bloodwork) and left... We stopped at CVS and picked up an at home test...
I called my Dr.'s office to let them know about the 3-4 day wait time... because after mulling it over some more I realized that if I am not pregnant and my cycle begins then I am going to need to start taking medications on day 3 of that cycle and waiting for those lab results would jeopardize the whole month for me... My Dr.'s office was appalled. They couldn't believe that something this simple (and super time sensitive) was being put on the back burner...
On Friday morning, I took the at home test and it came back negative...
I wasnt willing to put all my stock in that though, so I patiently waited and tried to think good thoughts.
My Dr.'s office called me Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to tell me that they had not yet received anything even though they had contacted Quest and asked for a rush to be placed on the order... Didn't really matter, my cycle began on Sunday morning.
On Monday, I was at MGM watching the parade when my phone rang... Imagine me running away from the crowds and needing to yell into the phone about this subject surrounded by children and families....
Now, I was hoping that they would overnight the meds to me (it is a mail order fertility pharmacy that my Dr. deals with, so my meds always come in the mail) so I could start them on Tuesday and get my monitoring done (which would have only been my day 3 US since my day 11 US would have been this Thursday) in a local hospital or OB's office... I was a combination of upset, sad, and downright pissed when they told me to call them when I got home that I was going to have to take this month off since the results of the bloodwork had not come back and they needed that before starting another cycle of meds....
So here I am...
and
and doing absolutely nothing (well, not
nothing
) at all about it this month...
Thank you!
