Yay for normal chromosomes

On Friday I finally got the call.

This was a good call to say that both our results had come back normal. Our chromosomes are normal. Hooray.

It was meant to be a 2 week wait for the results - it turned into 3.5 weeks and in that time my mind had created all sorts of problems that they may find.

The first time I called for our results, they didn't have them.

The second time our nurse was on leave that day but I was told that the results were in and sitting on her desk and I would get a call the next day. She said she wanted to leave it for Laura as she was up to date with our treatment and how things had been progressing. Makes sense I guess, but at that point, all I could think was, surely, if the results were normal, she would just say everything is fine. Because she was reluctant to tell me our results, it convinced me something was wrong.

When I finally got the call on Friday, I was prepared for the worst, but all was well. We are both pretty relieved and can now start focusing ahead.

I am booked in for an appointment on the 14th September to go over the treatment plan. It will be interesting to see if our Doctor has changed anything. I responded quite well to all the drugs last time, so maybe it will stay the same.

October will be here in no time I imagine, but for us, it can't come soon enough. Until then, we have WOW to look forward to and also the Post Modern Duke box concert.

Xxx Alana, Flex Thunderstache, Frankie and our happy healthy chromosomes!

Unexpected news

OMG!

On Saturday Flex Thunderstache and I received an exciting and very unexpected letter from Fertility Associates – we are near the top of the waiting list for public funding!

I was in shock!

And convinced they must have made a mistake.

We only went on the list in March. At our review last week, we were told the current wait time is 15 months, which we had estimated to mean it would be our turn for public funding in July 2018.

Speechless

And so excited!

Yesterday I called the clinic and they have a place for us in October

The journey continues...............

And then the worry creeps in

We are more than half way through our wait and while I wait, I am becoming more and more sure that they will find an issue with my chromosome blood test.

I am probably over thinking things and just being a bit dramatic, but I just have this feeling.

If they were to find something, it would explain a lot of things - I mean, 5 and a half years of 'unexplained infertility'- surely that in itself is an indication that there is something wrong.

It would explain the 2 miscarriages I had a few years ago (very very early miscarriages)

It would explain our failed IVF treatment.

It would explain a lot.

And on another note, I have realised that I am a bit of a nob.

I have entitled this blog 'those 2 blue lines' but have recently come to realise that the majority of pregnancy test actually have pink/red lines, not blue. I guess this just highlights my inexperience with pregnancy tests!
