we had the appointment with our family doctor today. she ran some tests and referred us to the re, and i’ve already called and talked to them while firefly sleeps. poor thing came home from work this morning and only had about an hour before we had to get ready to leave. i made an appointment for a consult on august 18th even though the test results may not be back by then. we’re definitely not going to be able to start in august, but hopefully we’ll be able to start in september and the ball is rolling. we’d probably be starting right around her birthday, which is cutting things close calendar-wise.
her birthday is on a friday, and right now–according to an ovulation predictor thingy–it’s the day before her estimated ovulation date. it would be nice if it could happen right after her birthday. what i’m worried about is: that sunday night she leaves for detroit for a week of work stuff. so…if she’s right on schedule we might be able to do the insemination on saturday or sunday, but if she’s off just a little bit she either won’t be able to relax and enjoy her birthday or she’ll be in detroit and unable to get the the re’s office (although she’d be happy to be able to hang out with her coworkers and not worry about anything). maybe it’ll be off more and it’ll happen when she gets back. that would be good.
ok, i’m going to stop worrying about it now and go look through the donor list. we’ve each got our own copy now and we’ll be weeding them out and comparing. it would be nice if we could have some idea before we go in for the consult…
