Testing, testing. . . is this thing on?

I had my first set of tests done today, CD3 of this new cycle.

Low Antral Follicle Counts.  3 on the left, 3, maybe 4, on the right.  Those 4 might not be worth a damn since that tube is most likely blocked.  Read about how that sucks here.

Pisser when the lab tech looked at me hopefully and said "at least you have follicles - that's good news".

No, no it isn't. Not when you are giving me the pity face and tone of voice.  I'm no dummy.

Then she followed up with a story about how her sister tried IVF for 5 years and was told that she couldn't have kids at all. . .and ended up with 2.  Yeah! So I'm supposed to get excited about the fact that your sister beat the odds and somehow that means that I might? Probably not lady.

Can't wait to get my FSH levels.  As a reminder, they were 11.8 (or .9) 2 years ago.   That number can go from bad to worse very quickly.  I'm expecting it to be well over 15 (and will be horrified if that is true), but it could be over 20 (oh dear lord that would be the worst).  Read more about how THAT sucks here.

I should be getting those numbers this afternoon.
