IVF 8: CD2 - Baseline

I went in for bloodwork and ultrasound this morning. All told it took an hour and 45 min. I know there's a better way, I just need to learn the system. When I have time, I plan to write a list of all the differences I've found so far between the old clinic and new clinic.

There were a lot of stories from this morning but I don't have patience to write them out. It had to do with the resident doctors, the fact that the labwork is on the first floor of the building and ultrasound is on the third, and just in general things being run differently. Also it was weird and uncomfortable to have an ultrasound on my heaviest bleed day.

One story I will mention: as I left the ultrasound room rushing to make sure to get to bloodwork before the morning cutoff time, I saw my doctor who greeted me warmly and mentioned offhandedly, "Hey, did you know your records indicate you're not immune to Rubella?" I had this issue before and had to get the MMR vaccine in 2015. I told my doctor I can resend the immunization report. She said in the meantime she'll add the rubella to my bloodwork to verify whether or not I'm actually immune. Spoiler alert: report is back and I am.

Bloodwork results came back and I got a call around 11:30 - good to start. I started shots this evening and we're off!
