And the anticipation builds ...

So I contacted my RE yesterday indicating that I understand that the polar body biopsying of my eggs should yield results in 4 to 6 weeks (and for those of you who've been counting we're on 4 weeks and 4 days (man, how I wish I were referring to a pregnancy duration rather than an 'extended 2ww' like duration!) and I politely suggested that perhaps the reason they hadn't contacted me was because I recently changed my cell phone number (I got an iPhone - yippee!) and they couldn't reach me.

Although I was really concerned that they had tried to call but couldn't reach me - I was also just trying be the squeaky wheel that I'm so good at being. I've heard that some women who wait for CGH results can wait up to 2 months ... and I've had enough anxiety fits in the past 4, we don't need to drag this on any longer ;-) a girl has to sleep you know.

So the lab responded to me and my RE letting us know that we should get results "next week"

So I guess I know where I'll be this holiday weekend ... on pins and needles!

    Good for you for calling them - no matter the reason. Sometimes just knowing they didn't forget about you helps a bit.

    I'm sorry you have more waiting to do though. It seems that is all we do in this IF game. I'm keeping everything crossed that you get fabulous news next week.

    My husband has an iPhone too and loves it. He claimed he needed it because I am always on the computer. LOL.

    Good luck with the whole waiting thing...it's so hard waiting for a phone call from the RE's office. I'm glad you called them to "remind" them!

    I've read quite a few of your posts and I am hoping that all goes well with the testing-so that you soon end up with the four children that you want.

    You, like so many of us, have been on an incredibly long and difficult journey. I hope this "extended 2WW" goes by quickly and yields good results.

    I just started blogging yesterday (just in time for NaComLeavMo!), so please stop by and say hello if you get a chance. :)

    Came across your blog via NaComLeavMo and just want to wish you good luck!! (or should I say something like break a leg like they do in the theatre!?)

    A question for you - I am convinced that your bloggie header photograph is of Edinburgh - am I right?! Have you been there?

    Here from NaComLeavMo. Wow, I hate waiting for results, especially when they give long "estimated wait times" that you know aren't connected to any reality, but are just there to try to prevent you from calling....

    I sincerely hope you get great results.

    Stay on them - Drs sometimes don't understand we are anxiously anticipating ... and biting our nails waiting for any news.

    Ooo...I've never heard of polar-body biopsying. A medical procedure I haven't personally had or been threatened with? Hot damn, now I HAVE to stay tuned...
