February 22nd, 2021

So this morning I went in for my cycle-specific bloodwork and ultrasound because, huge surprise, I got my period?!

Thankfully they only took one tube of blood this time, which was definitely a relief after the boatload they had me give last time! 🥵💉 The nurse who drew me today was super efficient and quite speedy—she was literally done in like 10 seconds! Afterward they did the cycle-specific ultrasound, which went much quicker than last time as well. The technician was super friendly and she once again informed me (just as the last technician did) that I had a lot of follicles. But, in her words, "a lot of follicles means a lot of eggs, which is good! We just need to get you ovulating again and then you’ll be ready to pump out twins on the first go!"

Right after I left, I got a notification in my Patient Portal that the genetic screening results finally came back, and they’re 100% negative! So there’s no need to test Mike, and no worries about anything when I get pregnant. :)

The nurse called me now a short bit ago to let me know the results already came back on my bloodwork from this AM. (And may I just say again that it blows my mind how quick they are to get back to me! I sincerely appreciate the efficiency and the lack of waiting/wondering.) She told me that everything with my labs was completely normal!

Now all that’s left is the saline sonogram, which I have scheduled on Thursday, and Mike’s labs & semen analysis on Friday. Once those results come back, Dr. Hobieka will set up a time to talk with us to go over everything and establish a plan of attack going forward! I’m so excited to start! 😄
