MORE Testing

It seems like we have a lot going on right now. I guess starting IVF and moving in a few short months makes me feel like that (shades of moving from Idaho all over again). 

We got the IVF paperwork in the mail over the weekend.  It did help answer some questions I had (about freezing any unused embryos).  Many pages had to be signed and witnessed, which is pretty standard stuff that I've all done in previous rounds.  The only kicker is that all the required testing has to be done in February.  I was able to get mine completely done today (six vials of blood-Hep B surface antigen, Hep C Virus AB, Rubella Titer, AMH, RPR, HIV), since I had already done the Clomid challenge and got a bunch done before the endo surgery.  Now, it's DH's turn.  His fun starts tomorrow morning. 

I've decided that I'm not going to have any regrets this time.  No "what ifs" or "should haves".  I refuse to do anything that might in some way jeopardize the positive outcome we're hoping for.  If it doesn't work, I want to be able to look back and say that I did everything I could possibly do.  Once I get AF, I'm going off all Fibro meds, I'm back on the endo diet hard core, and I'm going to work out as much as my body and IVF will allow.

I'm still not completely sure if they are going to allow me to start IVF with my next cycle or the one after.  This next one won't technically be during April so they might have to hold me off.  We'll see soon enough I guess.
