Testing times

So the tests have begun! Before embarking on an IVF cycle, the specialist needs us both to have the updated tests & scans (as if they weren't evasive & painful enough the first time!). My biggest challenge has not been the 10 test tubes of blood sucked from me, but fitting it all in around work. I am managing - it gives me an indication of time management moving forward.

 I have booked in for a DIE ultrasound - which apparently gives a more detailed analysis of endometriosis. I think this is a relatively new technology & if this could be the way forward for indentifying endo (eliminating evasive surgery) it sounds like a great way forward. I couldn't get in for this test until the end of September. I don't think there are many places that conduct this test, and at my hospital there was only one physician who conducts this particular scan. So I will continue to be patient. If things work out I might be pregnant by Christmas! How's that for optimism??? 😁
