Thank You!

This is long over due. But I wanted to thank everyone for their warmth and positive thoughts and prayers this past week. I got lots of phone calls, emails, tweets - it was just the icing on the cake for the icky situation. As I said many times this week, I'm a truly blessed to have such amazing friends. I also firmly believe that people come into your life for a reason, and I know that there are quite a few new friends in my life who are here to help me through this next chapter in my life.

To give you an update. I got my blood work done on Friday and now I wait. I was given 2 more meds to go on to get some levels regulated. Basically, once the results come back, Jeff and I are going to have a meeting with my doc. We'll talk about options and where do we go from here. The good thing here is we have time to get whatever we need to do as we aren't ready to have a baby right now. But we need to make sure we need to do what we need to do to prep ourselves for that.

So, I've definitely gotten my mind off it this week. I had an activity every night of the week. Also, send some positive vibes for me for work. I can't go into detail about it here, not yet, but I REALLY hope it works out.

Words You Don't Want to Hear

About a week ago, I got blood work done with my lady doctor. Just my regular blood work that is to make sure my PCOS is where it should be. Well, I got the phone call yesterday. Everything was good except for 2 things, but we had known about the 1 and were anticipating it. The other,I didn't expect to hear .Ovarian Failure.

Note to self, if you're a doctor providing bad news, please explain or some kind of details because I've been in tears since then. last night, I finally googled Ovarian Failure and I was freaking out. There is a 4-5% chance I could have a baby. Water Works. Also, you should never google anything, it's REALLY bad. So, now as the website explained to confirm, you'll take the same blood test again. So, I do that on Friday. And then I wait.

So, I'll wait. Luckily I have some amazing friends who are going to help me take my mind off of things. I've got so many fun activities going on the next weeks that I should be able to occupy myself. So stay tuned for a few great posts about supper club, the cash & carry sale, and the pink swap I'm doing on Kappa Prep!

Thank you so much to everyone I talked to last night and gave me some twitter lovin'. I know that I truly have an amazing group of strong women to help me through this. As Jeff said, we have options, let just rule everything out first. Spoken like a true engineer.
