You are free to misplace them.<br /><br />1) Ask you clinic for an additional bottle or prescription of nose spray, and leave it at work. (I now have bottles stashed in several locales.)<br /><br />2) Remember that there is a certain amount of wiggle room with these appointments. The first blood test (after one week of sniffing -- standard IVF hormones + pregnancy test), the second blood test and ultrasound (to check if lining is thin), the next tests: all these can be done during a "window" of time. When you are given a schedule, it seems inflexible. But in fact, the schedule does not need to be so precise UNTIL you begin stimming. When Star starts stimming and you begin estrogen then you need to follow the instructions to the day. But for now, two days will make no difference.<br /><br />3) If Star needs to do another CF test, it is possible to get the results in about a week. The CF test is one of the faster DNA tests. So you should be able to know before retrieval even if the blood from the first test has not been found.<br />If Star is of northern European descent, then her chance of being a carrier is about 1 in 30. If she is a carrier, the chance of her biological child (with a non carrier) being a carrier is 1 in 2 (not 4).<br /><br />I wish that when I forgot my nose spray, I could stare out on the opera house!<br /><br />I am rooting for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
