My doctors office called this morning about my labs. The nurse said that my metabolic panel looked good (diabetes test) and my cholesterol test looked good as well. She did say my testosterone levels were a little high. My doctor wants me to come in and talk to him about the results which is more than fine with me. I asked if they could get me in today and they couldn't because they closed at noon. My doctor is going to be out all next week with the exception for one surgery. So the earliest they could get me in was on Aug. 11 - 9 days away.
I am bummed that my testosterone levels are high because this means we will have to wait to start IF meds for about a month while I get them in check. I am bummed because I have to wait 9 days for my appointment. I do not do well with waiting for appointments especially these. I am glad though that my doctor decided to check this. The RE (fertility specialist) we went to didn't even check this. So it gives me a lot of faith that my doctor knows what he is doing. Who knows how long my testosterone levels have been high. They could have been high when my old doctor put me on Provera + Clomid; which means I would have wasted those cycles because higher testosterone fights the IF meds.
So this is where we are at right now. Aug 4th we will drop of DH's SA at the lab. The next day we should hear back on his results. If everything is not where it needs to be then he will be sent to a urologist. If everything is where it needs to be then he is good to go! Aug 6th I go in to take a pregnancy test. If it comes back negative then I get my prescription for Provera which will start my period. Then finally on Aug 11th I have my appointment to talk about my elevated testosterone levels. My doctor said at my last appointment that if they were elevated we would take a month to get them back to normal. So I will get a prescription for that.
So even though I got my lab results I still feel like I'm in limbo and it isn't fun.
