Has anyone had this blood test done

I had the test done last week and have a couple of questions so if anyone can answer them I would be very grateful

Firstly, how long does it take for the results to get back from Chicago

What exactly are they testing for

What are the possible results that can occur and what do they mean

Do you have to take extra drugs and is there a delay before commencing treatment

Sorry so many questions, but would really love some answers as I feel a little helpless at the moment

Thanks

I had that test done in 2002 to see if my poor quality eggs was due to a chromosonal reason or if I had an aouto immune disorder where my body attacked its own eggs. It came out for me that I did have the auto-immune disorder.

Thanks for replying - I hope you don't mind me asking a couple of questions

Did you have to take any extra drugs or wait any length of time before going through IVF.

I'm trying really hard to work out when I can go through the treatment and I want it to be next month, but I don't know if there is any course of treatment that has to be undertaken beforehand

Thanks

Don't worry - I'm just a coward

I went to the hospital and it wasn't until I left there that I thought about all the things I should have asked

(typical me, my mind was on all the retail therapy I could be doing

) and I don't like asking these kind of questions over the phone so I thought you girls would be the perfect solution

I think I have too much time on my hands at the moment so I'm thinking of more and more things as well

You are NOT a coward, it's terrible when your head is all cloudy and then you think of all the things afterwards. I write them all down and have learned (in my therapy

) to be determined to get to the end of the list...this intimidates the best of what I call "slippery" consultants...

so - get a list - get a life

I know exactly what you mean...about retail therapy and the waiting.........

That's why I stated the waiting thread - maybe we should do retail or other waiting therapy "confessions"

I have made up a list of questions for my next appointment / phone call so that I am fully armed with bullets ready to fire

They won't know whats hit them

Do I gather that you have something you need to confess

eeekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
mc.donalds is the top of the list for the most violations with the health department..

and you should always keep a note book with you to write down all
of the different things that end up comming into your brain at the most weirdest times..

that way you can go over them with your doc or nurse..
cause all we can give is what we know and what we have gone threw
so it is always great if your doc or nurse know what you are thinking and
feeling..

I've yet to fathom that one out -

Who wants to be normal - we're all unique and special

Hi

Sorry I need a moment to vent - AARRGGHH

I decided to take some advice and phone the hospital to see if my results were back - no

So, I asked how long it would be and she said it could take up to 3 weeks, 2 weeks for the results to come through and 1 week for Mr T to decide on a course of action

That could mean another 2 weeks before I know anything

Seriously frustrated and getting just a tad p*&%$d off

Sorry girls just had to get that out in the open - phew
