Yesterday was Day Three (imagine that with vaguely darth vaderish music playing in the background) and I went in for my first round of bloodwork. It was weird--the office was much different on the weekends. There were a lot more people there (read: a lot more men) and one couple even brought their kids. I have somewhat mixed feelings about that (hey, lets pour a little salt into everyone else's open wound, shall we?) but thats probably just me.

Most interesting to me, everyone was pretty young. I'm only 24 and I guess I expected to be one of the younger people there waiting but, to my best guess, there were only a few women there who looked over 35. I guess it just goes to show that infertility really can happen to anyone. I don't know if that makes me more discouraged (read: irritated at the general populations lack of knowledge about infertility and unwillingness by insurance companies to me more aggressive in treatment) or more hopeful. I guess only time will tell.

The best part of the morning was realising the muzak being pumped over the intercom was an instrumental version of "I Like the Way You Move" yeah, baby, that just screams fertility clinic, don't you think?

I had my first vaginal ultrasound. It didn't really hurt but it was uncomfortable when she checked my ovaries. And just how did they look? well, it looked a lot like swiss cheese. I had something like 12 cysts in my right overy and 15 in my left. The nurse said something like "string of pearls" but all I heard was "balls of evilness." maybe it was the accent.

Anyway, I have scheduled:
an HSG
injection class (sounds way scary, doesnt it?)
a pap
a glucose test
my husband's "special time with ms. cuppie"
other random bloodwork

I'm feeling ok about it all--I'm glad things are happening and I guess thats all I can do for now.

On the knitting front (yes, I actually do still knit): I'm about finished with a noro sweater (nothing special, just a crew neck cardie) and I started rogue for something like the 30th time. I should get my camera back in order (it was loaned out for a while to my father in law who was in the amazon (no, really)) sometime soon, so i'll take pics of the sweaters in progress. oh--and my new fiber trends clogs. ah-freaking-dorable.
