Sorry ladies, rant ahead...
In mid October, I had an appointment with my NP, not a specialist, but she has a lot of experience with infertility, blah, blah, blah (hey, it's better than sticking with the military docs who did lots of things wrong). Anyway, she wanted me to do a full cycle of blood tests (CD3, CD14, and CD23) before making any decisions. Well, af showed up on the 2nd, so that meant, I had to wait 2 weeks just to start the blood tests and then the full cycle after that. CD23 was just before Thanksgiving, so I am expecting to hear from my NP this week (if she doesn't call, I have to call her before af arrives so we can take the next steps).
Anyway...I am soooo tired of waiting! I know I haven't been at this as long as most ladies on here (15 cycles) but it is so frustrating sometimes. First, you wait a year to get tested for something that is wrong (although you felt there was something wrong even before ttc) then you go through the ultrasounds and blood tests to find out the docs did them wrong, you go to a new doc and she wants to do a cycle of blood tests, and now I am waiting to hear what she sees from the results.
The sad thing is, I know there will be a lot more waiting. The first docs thought it was endo, but she thinks it might be pcos based on my cd3 tests. So, I don't know if she is just going to put me on Clomid (or something similar) or order the lap and dye (although she already told me she will do the lap and dye separately, so I'm thinking those will each be two separate months).
People that know what I am going through keep saying, it is so good that the doctors are moving things along, and each step is a bit closer to your baby, etc. I know I should think like that too, but the wait is killing me. I don't want to wait anymore. My dh and I are good people, we both have careers (both of which are selfless jobs...soldier and teacher), we have a house and money in the bank. SO WHY DONT WE HAVE OUR BABY BY NOW?!?!?!
Sorry ladies, I am just feeling really down tonight...maybe it has to do with going to my best friend's baby's baptism today and being surrounded by babies and pregnant women.](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall ](*,)")

Good luck this week! I hope they get to the bottom of it.
