Earlier in December I went in to get genetic testing done. Before we move on with our next round of treatments it was recommended that we do some testing to see if we are carriers for some genetic issues. It would either give us more insight to what is going on, or it would confirm that we are clear to move forward with things without any anticipated issues. I was the one that went in for the blood draw. They only have one person go in for the testing and then if something comes back positive on the first person then the second person is tested for those things. Both people have to be positive for something for it to be an issue.
Unfortunately the morning I went in Abby was not there. She is the only that is able to get my blood easily. I used to have really good veins, but ever since the ectopic and all the different blood draws, my veins have become really difficult. It took two different nurses and several pokes to get the blood draw done. They finally were able to succeed, but they had to do it right above my wrist and it hurt really bad! At least they got it though. All of this will be worth it in the end when we have our baby.
December 23rd a nurse from UFC called and said that everything looked normal, and we got the official documents and explanations on December 24th. I am negative for all of the genetic testing that they did and they tested for a LOT of things. It was good news to hear that we don't have any genetic issues and that we are able to move forward with things as planned. We are getting excited for the next steps that are coming!
