3/28/11 - I Hate Needles!

March 28th, 2011 - My 1st ultrasound and blood work at Dr.Fleming's office. Of course I was nervous, but who wouldn't be? I knew what the procedure would entail, but nothing can really prepare you for your first ultrasound. Luckily, when I got to the office I found out that the nurse would perform the procedure! This was a relief and I told her I had never had one of these done. She said it was no big deal and to relax. The room was dark and had a screen to watch the ultrasound while she did it. It really was not that big of a deal and I'd come to find out I would have so many more of these... lol. She found a fibroid, but everything else looked normal. Good news I am thinking! Next, I move on around the corner to have my blood work done. I really hate needles and have passed out in the past from having blood taken and getting shots. Oh boy. But, the nurse was amazing, kept me distracted and I was out in no time! Now the wait to hear the results from Dr.Fleming.

The results.. Dr.Fleming has looked at my insurance plan and understands there is a process to get through this to get to the infertility treatments, if it turns out that is my case. My blood work comes back fine. Dr.Fleming mentions the fibroid, but very seldom does this effect woman from getting pregnant. Our next step is to do the 'dye test' or hysterosalpingogram (HSG) test. We schedule this for April 13th. Progress! I'm anxious to see what this test will see.
