Good Friday, Bad Leah

Last week Leah was scheduled for a Thursday appointment with the bloodwork lab, to determine hormone levels and such from Round #2 of fertility medicine. Then it was discovered/remembered that the office would be unavailable on Friday because they were closed (which is an interesting concept, because I'm guessing they're open on Jewish and Muslim holidays, but I digress). Thus, in the odd chance that results WERE available in 1-day, it would be a moot point and we'd have to wait til Monday (i.e., today) anyway.

So she got squeezed in on Wednesday afternoon. Cool. Call back on Thursday afternoon and we might have your results. Then we don't have to wait all weekend. But alas, the most important aspect of calling them on Thursday was forgotten--you know, the part about remembering to call. It seems that "Call Drs. Office" on the daily calendar wasn't enough. In her defense, her co-worker was off on Thursday and thus Leah was a bit busier than normal. But she kicked herself all weekend for forcing herself to wait. Which brings us to today. We're awaiting a return call (the suspense is killing you, I know).

Keep in mind that this isn't a pregnancy/non-pregnancy result--this is simply to determine if the hormone levels are at the necessary levels to conceive. If they are, then we're at the medication level we need to be at, and the rest involves X and Y chromosomes and the miracle of the entire process. For the record, I do believe in miracles (my religion celebrated one yesterday, as a matter of fact).
