So my boyfriend and I are officially trying to start a family so I started this week long journey of blood tests, the obligatory annual, and a mammogram tomorrow. Here at St. Pete's where I work we have what's called the Patient Portal where you can get test results. Many of you may know how impatient I am so when I kept checking my results and nothing was there I decided to call medical records and ask if they had anything on me yet, and of course some results had come in and were being sent to my doctor; so you are able to get a copy of those if you sign a medical release; which of course I did. BAD IDEA. AWFUL. I just assumed after working for doctors my whole career I could read the jibberish that is test results. Wrong. So I go back to my desk and start trying to decipher the hieroglyphs on WebMD and successfully convince myself I am dying of some horrible disease and that I will never be able to be a mom and have my little family I've dreamt of forever. Alright, so I call my doctor and they tell me she is in clinic for another couple of hours but that she will call me back.
The wait was horrendous, and the more I thought about it the more upset I became. So my doctor calls exactly when they said she would and she's talking to me like she hadn't gotten the message about me already seeing some of the results. "So Sam I got your results back on some of the tests, and all is well and I see no problem with you conceiving naturally and there was no issue on your lab or ultrasound". I replied "What, but I read the report and it says..", she responds with "How did you see the results", and I explained I couldn't wait, she said, "Stay the hell off WebMD Sam"! lol So yeah, freak out much? WHEW but hey at least I know I am good to go, and 100% healthy as I assumed until my curiosity got the best of me.
Moral of the story: Curiosity gave the cat an anxiety attack, but didn't kill it!
So we will know by 9/15 if we are pregnant this cycle, and if we are; it'll be due 5/22/16 and named either Abbey-Marin or Finnian-Elijah. I already have our Pinterest and Amazon wish lists started! I told Shawn about my desire to do a pregnancy Vlog from live pregnancy test to the full birth but I will keep up my posts here throughout what I hope will be a healthy pregnancy.
