Friday we went down to Beverly Hills for our testing. It was an intresting morning. We had a hard time getting there, because we left so early and go there about an hour early we decided to take a nap in the temple parking lot. But I had directions from home to Dr and Dr to temple. Not temple to Dr. It is only 1.93 miles and 4 minutes from the temple to the Dr which is awesome, but apprently back tracking directions and having 2 cell phones with GPS doesn't work. So instead of taking 4 minutes it took us 25 minutes to get to the Dr.'s office. I was driving and I couldn't have even told you where we were or how we got so lost. But we got there. (PS I HATE DRIVING DOWN THERE!)
The appointment went well, we were only there for about an hour. In that hour I got vitals, ultrasound, HSG test, and blood test done. Whoops I forgot to fast. But Randel also got his test done and blood test.

Dr appointment
Today was our Doctor appointment at the fertility place. First, we made it on time, which I was very glad for. We tend to run late for a lot of things, which bothers me, because it's rude. And the office has a strict if your 20 minutes late you get rescheduled policy, so I was nervous, but we made it! Off to a great start.
We talked with the Dr. in his office, went over our history. First things first, he starts with has any one talked to you about your weight? Yes, I know, I am working on it. Part of me says it's hard to get it down and keep it down and part of me says that if I really wanted a baby then I would do whatever it took. And I know lots if ladies that have "more to love" and don't seem to have troubles. I don't know. I have loss some but at this rate a little doesn't matter.
It was kind of funny but I said I was on Birth Control and he said "how do you expect to get pregnant if you are on birth control?" Well I was put on it to shrink cysts that I have. I said I am BC until you tell me not to be. So effective immediately I am not taking it anymore. I am also not taking the medicine that I have been taking for my acne. I'm a little nervous about that, because I do NOT want a repeat of what happened a few months ago.
We are going down to Beverly Hills on Friday to do blood tests and HSG ( I think) to check my Fallopian tubes and uterus. Randel is also going to have his "swimmers" checked. There was a lot of information gone over, but I walked out and was like "say what". Randel says that he feels better after leaving the office, I however am not sure. He follows and retains information better than I do. I am hoping that we can go with artificial insemination and not IVF. He recommends all these doctors to check different things, and doing all the tests in his B.H.office. I foresee a lot of driving. Good thing diesel is so cheap! HA
Not to say that Heavenly Father doesn't talk to me, I just don't know how to listen I guess. We need to pray and make sure that this is the route that we are supposed to go. I'm nervous of the cost. And what if it doesn't work? What if it does work? How will I be able to stay home and afford this new cost? I don't want to have waited all this time to have a baby, to just put it in daycare. We are finally in a position were we are stable enough to start this process. But there are still bumps in the road. And I still have concerns, is this what we are supposed to do, if we want a baby?
After our appointment we went to Sam's Club to return a few boxes of laminate. We decided not to put it in our bedroom, so we had eight boxes to return. I didn't have my receipt so I got store credit. Fine by me! We spent the credit tonight buying, a case of oil for the car, a case of toilet paper ( we now have 7 and 3/4 cases). A flat of chicken, purple grapes, pineapple, mushrooms, canned chicken, strawberries, 2 movies (John Adams, Phantom of the Opera (on Blu Ray)). A Daisy and Minnie puppet book set for my niece Ava. Yea I think that's it!
Followed by returning a dress to Kohl's and dinner at Chipotle then driving home. A good afternoon!
Randel is trying to get me to enjoy Lord of the Rings. Sorry babe but that is not going to happen. But since I have never seen them we have been watching them over the last three nights. I now understand the story and the movies are done pretty well. But I am no Lord of the Rings fan. Just not my cup of tea.
After reading this I see that it is a little scattered, sorry about that, hopefully you get the gist!
