Warning: This is just an update on my story. There is no question at the end. I guess I'm writing this for my own satisfaction and if others are seeking, or will seek, this assistance.

I had my first appointment with a reproductive endocrinologist (fertility doctor) yesterday. I was expecting to be on the first day of my cycle and was actually looking forward to being on my period in order for the tests to be performed. Unfortunately, can't believe I'm saying this, my period didn't come. still had the appointment and met with the doctor, though. I had an ultrasound done. my ovaries are good but my uterine wall is thick. i also had bloodwork for cystic fibrosis. they told me to call when I had my first full day of heavy flow. I get home and start spotting! Been spotting all day until this early evening and will be going in tomorrow for the necessary labs. My nerves have settled and I'm just getting more and more excited and eager for this journey! Hope there are no significant disappointments along the way. Thanks for reading if you did.
