Blood Work

So on Sunday evening I went up to the hospital and got my blood work done for my Thyroid levels and Hormone levels. They were all within normal limits.

• FSH: 6.4 (4-13 are normal limits for follicular phase)
• TSH Reflex Testing (Thyroid): 2.96 (0.38-5.0)
• Prolactin: 13.6 (4.8-23.3)
  

Although the FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) was on the lower end of the normal limits. I'm not sure if my Dr. will look at that and say that its normal, so thats not the problem, or if he will look at it an say, "Well it is kinda on the lower end of the spectrum, lets put you on some hormonal drugs." I will just have to wait and see.

Oh and of course I've got battle wounds to show for. I always have a hard time when I need to give blood for labwork. I have really small veins and I always tell them to use the pediatric butterfly needles. I just have better luck with those. But still had to be poked 4 times. The final draw ended up being on top of my hand. Seems to be common place these last few years! Ouch! It hurts and always leaves a big bruise too.

New week of testing

I love how you expect Aunt Flo to come and visit on a certain day and she doesn't tell you that she thought she would come a week later. Yeah this whole past week had me going crazy, taking pregnancy tests like every other day. Then finally she came knocking on the door Friday morning. So for the record, 10/3/08 is the latest LMP.
Sooooo, that means today, Sunday, I have to get my blood work done to check my thyroid and hormone level. I'll be bringing that in tonight when I come back into work at 6:30pm. Hopefully they will even post my results and I can check to see if they are normal. Not sure how long it takes for each test to run. I will also be scheduling Tony's special appointment too. Hopefully they can have him drop off sampling on Tuesday or Wednesday morning.
So as soon as I know any results, I will post them.
Also, since i just started my period, I can kinda guess that I might ovulate around October 19th. With having my Hysteroscopy scheduled on October 22nd, is that going to mess up conceiving for this month?? Are we gonna be throwing a month away? I understand its just one month and the benefits of having it done, but maybe that procedure should be done before I ovulate. Just so it doesn't interupt anything that is going on up there. Know what I mean?? But I'm pretty sure that was the soonest that they could get me in for that procedure. So the only other option would be to delay it until right after the next period. I guess I can call the office and see what they think. They will probably be thinking, "You haven't gotten pregnant for 12 months, what makes you think this month is so special?" LOL! Wel nothing is special about this month, except that it could be THEE month. It could be THEE right combination lined up on the right day, yadda, yadda, yadda. Anyways, I guess I will give the doctors office a call and see what they think.
