More about the RE appt

It was kinda great. With the exception of the fact that we had to wait 20 minutes to get in to see her, and she mentioned that she is normally an HOUR behind. So, next time my appt is at 3, I should show up for 4? WTF? This is something I hate the MOST about doctors. But, I digress. She was very very nice, very pleasant, seemed genuinely invested in our care. Which is different, but, on par for what I would expect from an RE.
I got a scrip for a groovy pregnancy vitamin called PregVit which has 5 mg of folic acid, which is what the new recommendations are, and although I am a bit dismayed by the superfluous packaging, it's blister sealed according to day, so I will always know if I have taken it. I have been bad about the Maternas, cuz sometimes I can't remember. It's also very cool, because its separated into a morning dose and an evening dose, because calcium can interfere with the absorption of iron, so they separate the compounds into different pills. Its one more pill to remember, but like I said, idiot-proof packaging.
The nurse there that I saw was also super friendly, super nice. I really hope that its a one stop shop for all my diagnostic needs too. Ultrasounds, bloodwork, all that jazz. It's such a bitch to find a clinic to get your blood drawn at during the day. Sometimes, it has to be a fasting test too, so you can't eat for 12 hours before hand, and so the first thing you want to do it get your blood drawn in the morning so you can eat. So, the CD3 bloodwork is for FSH, LH, Estradiol and Prolactin. I asked about my CD21 b/w that I had done, and she said they don't really put a lot of stoc k in CD21 b/w with the exception of your progesterone levels showing that you have Oed, which I do, regularly, and she pointed out, a few times., which made me feel like a star.
Yippee, I am special because I O regularly.
Yes, its silly. But anyway...
We are also getting tested for a variety of lovely STDs. They want to keep a clean clinic. Which I can appreciate, but, what happens if you suffer from IF, but have herpes or something. They tell you you are on your own?
I should specify that I am not worried about the results of this.
Rich is getting tested for all those as well, and something else that surprised me. Apparently, because he has an Italian and French lineage, he might be a CF carrier. Crazy!
Not too worried about that either, because even if he is (the chances are 1 in 25) I would have to be a carrier too in order to pass it on to any children.

Watch, now we'll both be carriers, and riddled with STDsjust because I said I am not worried about it. Great.
