confusion and a happy dance

(day 6)

I lost track of how many cycles i'm now at... I think around 38 or so? i'll just count cycle days and DPO count at the beginning of my posts since i'm not totally sure what cycle number i'm on.

so this cycle we're going to be TTC. really really really (I can't type enough "really"s) hoping for a BFP cuz god knows I don't want to be on a longer break or even still TTC. i'm just coming off AF and my last 2 cycles were the exact same (though I was thinking last cycle would be a day shorter because I was thinking I might have Od a day early, turns out that wasn't the case as per when AF showed up) so I don't expect it to be different this cycle, maybe a day either way, but no more than that.

today is also my exploratory US for the specialist. I probably won't have any info to update on today as i'm guessing the specialist will look at it later this week and get and then give me the results at my follow up with him next week, when i'll get the results from my bloodwork as well as what they got out of DH.

which is another story I didn't share on my blog! ugh. I wish I had known DH had to get bloodwork back when I had my first apt with the specialist so that I knew exactly what he wanted since the requisition was a little vague with the way its filled out on a computer. I got a call 13 days before my follow up apt that they wanted DH to get some bloodwork done as well to help rule him out of the equation. not a lot of time for DH to plan for it. there were 4 things checked off (nothing compared to what I had to get!) and the testosterone test left a bit of a question. when the forms are filled out on the computer, you don't see the individual boxes to check things off when its printed out. apparently there is a box beside the testosterone test that says to go either between 8-10am and another box for 3-5pm. we weren't aware of that so myself and the receptionist both thought he could go in during either window of time to get it done. since he can't leave work in the mornings during that time because that's their busiest time of the day, he went in the afternoon. so then I got an angry text from him when the lab told him he was supposed to come in the morning for the testosterone test. enter anger at how all of this came about  >: (  they also told him he needed another form to get karyotyping done so I also get an angry text about that, which I had to explain that the specialist wasn't sending us for that work up until after all the results come back and nothing shows up to indicate an issue. even then, we might have to wait for a 3rd MC to be sent for that testing. so here I am, freaking out about not having the testosterone results because of the shitty setup with the form. I call the receptionist to let her know and try to find out if it is a crucial test to get done, but she wasn't much help other than telling me that the specialist will let me know. ugh. i'm hoping the other 3 tests come back completely normal which maybe that would point to his testosterone being normal since the others all kind of work together in the hormone department with it...


on a second, more exciting note to end this post on:
I'M FINALLY STARTING TO FIT BACK INTO MY PRE-PREGNANCY JEANS!!!  : D
its about damn time that started happening. I was looking for a pair of those pre-preg jeans the other day and didn't see them in the pile of other pants, so I had to look for them since I hadn't seen them in a while. found them and 3 or 4 other pairs that stopped fitting sometime around week 7 (so about 4-5 months ago). tried all of them on and some of my shorts and found that I was within about an inch of fitting all the jeans again. happy day! the shorts weren't fitting still, but i'm hoping that if i'm not pregnant by summer (which would super super suck cuz that's like 8 months from now) that they'll fit again. i'm almost there though : )
