Bled Dry

Well I went in on Tuesday morning to the hospital and got the blood drawn for all the tests my RE ordered. I was there for almost an hour and a half (the only one) while the nurses figured out the order. The nurse even had to call my REs office to get confirmation on one of the tests he ordered because they'd never done it before. Even one of the tests isn't available, so it beats me what he's looking for. Anyway they finally got things straight and they took 13 vials of blood. Gosh that was more than any of the early IF screening I had to do. It was ridiculous, but it's done and now the waiting for the results begins. I'll probably call my RE in about 2 weeks to see what's come in and how many tests they're still waiting on. My RE doesn't want to go over anything until he's got all the results back. Ugh and here I thought I was done with all the waiting, certainly wrong there.

  2. 13 vials..sounds like they were vampires! I'm so sorry about the waiting. It's enough to drive a sane girl crazy. I hope you get some good news as well :-)

  3. Yikes! Well, you certainly can be confident that your RE is being thorough. I hope this wait passes quickly.

  4. Wow that is a lot of blood. I hope they find something that tells them something in all of it.

  5. Wow--13 vials is a lot. Deep breaths and do the best you can during the wait. I think it is a good idea to call in two weeks. It gives you a time line to try to put it out of your head while being proactive.
