This baby making process is really something. From choosing donors to deciding characteristics and down to what month we want the baby in so many options and choices. It really nerve racking.
Right now we are in the lets make sure the wife does and can have a baby part of the process. This means that she has tons of blood drawn and taken. They do a complete blood work up looking for Hiv, STD and diabetes and a sleuth of other stuff. Asside from that we have to wait for her to get her period and then she has to go for more test and several internals. Yikes.. They have to do a internal while she is menstruating. It's not bad enough that women have to go to the Gyno but if your are trying to get pregnant and you are having fertility issues such as your wife is a dyke ergo no sperm and or you actually have fertility issues then you have to have the displeasure of having a internal while on your cycle. I said to the DR. I rather deal with Dead people any day than do that ... and she joked back saying anything below the belt is fine and blood was no issue for her. Well I love blood n guts too but Menstrual blood is different than spurting atrial blood or even decomp blood.
My poor wife. Will have to have internal ultra sounds and then a flushing of her cervix and then a test where they go though the cervix and insert dye to see if her fallopian tubes are working. All this with in days of each other. All during menses.
Oddly, we have never been more excited for her to get her period. I used to get annoyed at those horrible tampon and kotex commercial that claim and use the tagline "Happy Period." It was so annoying .. and now we have never been so excited and happy for her to have her period. We are waiting patiently and I am sure will be jumping for joy when she does! The human body is amazing what it can do and the capabilities it has.
SO we hope everyone has a HAPPY PERIOD we know SHE WILL!
