Talked to Colorado!

The first step in our new jouney to Denver finally came tonight! Dr. Minjarez called, a half hour late, during which Stef and I sat, looking at each other, hearing the clock ticking, tea getting cold, quietly worrying. When the phone finally rang, we almost crapped ourselves. Anyways, she was very pleasant and informative. We learned about about what their process is and what is up next. I will have my first blood test and Chlomid challenge test (measures the quality of my eggs) on Wednesday. I have to come back early from an out of town trip to do this test. The value she was sent from a previous test worries her a bit and she wants something more sensitive....it's already a nail biter and we barely started!! The hardest part of all of this will be coordinating the tests they want with my family doc and the labs here. Get this - my blood has to be spun and frozen here, then shipped frozen to their lab....holy moly. My blood flying to Denver - frozen. Stef's swimmers being shipped - frozen....how do you not make fun of this stuff!! The time line so far - first week in January I fly there for a one day work up of tests - Stef can stay home for this one. As early as late Feb will be my two week treatment, with Stef there during the egg retrieval. Thats all we know so far....see you sooon!
