About Me

Having been raised by a single mother, it's been my dream to have a "normal" family with a father, a mother, and children since I was a kid. I got married to a wonderful husband Mike eight years ago. I love my job - I am an oncology nurse taking care of people undergoing bone marrow transplant. Mike got his Master's in Clinical Social Work last year. He recently started his career as Substance Abuse Specialist. We thought it was time to expand our family. One year later, I was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve at age of 32 with an elevated FSH level. My doctor thinks I need "aggressive" interventions right away. I am going to have my first IVF in September 2010.

Patience, patience, patience

The lab processed the hCH beta test (ie pregnancy test) really fast. The result was available by noon today after my 9am blood test. This was not expected. I had to decide how to find out the result. Well, to summarize I haven't found out. I still want to find out the result when I am with my husband. I need much support if it is not a good result. Even if it is a good news, I want to share the moment with my husband. I asked my nurse to wait to give me a call until tomorrow. I'll have her leave a voice mail as I planned before so that my husband and I can listen to it together in the evening. I'm happy with the decision, but that means I have to wait for another day while the result is already out. I am surprised how much patience I have. I wish I am not working tonight so that I can find it out tonight, but I guess my patients need me. I have a feeling that it is a good news though. When my nurse got the result, she emailed me back to be sure that I don't want to hear the result today. I don't think she would send the email if the result is negative. I think she wants to share the news soon. That's my optimistic guess. I hope I am right.
