Answers are Coming

I called the doctor yesterday and set up my appointment for this coming Saturday. The doctor is sending me back for another transvaginal ultrasound, but also an abdominal ultrasound. More extensive testing = $$$$. Part of me wants to just call and say, "Listen. I know that the cysts are still there. I can feel them. Can't we just skip all this and you can write me a prescription for progesterone?" But then again, I want to see if more cysts have formed, if I have any on the left side, and if any of the cysts have grown. Plus, I highly doubt that they'll just write me a prescription on my word...although my bank account sure would appreciate it, especially since Mr. ABC123 has a doctor's appointment of his own (not fertility-related) the day before, which will also cost us a nice chunk of change. It's how we non-insured folk roll. (Yet another reason why I'm hoping he can leave his current job and get the new one--we can get insurance).

I'm so nervous. What if there are more? What if my tubes are blocked?

I went back to work today and all the kids made me get well cards. It was adorable. The best moment was when I was standing by my desk before school started this morning and one of my quiet boys walked in the door. Under his breath, I heard him say, "YES! Mrs. (ABC123) is back today!" It put a smile on my face...especially because I was feeling kind of rough and wondering whether or not I should've taken a second day. I'm really proud of my kids. I hear that they told the sub yesterday exactly how my classroom is run, which shows that at least they pay attention to what I do every day!
