Funny story about my apt Thursday at Conceptions. I arrived 20 mins early (yes EARLY - i know that is shocking!) so I found a nearby Starbucks and indulged myself in a decaf, no fat, pumpkin spice latte , delish! I made my way to the office and walked up to the second level to check in. As I turned the corner, sitting in the waiting room directly in front of me was a guy I had gone to high school with - gulp! Not only had I gone to high school with him but we went out on just a couple of dates. Just my luck to run into a briefly dated guy at the reproductive office. He looked up as I walked around the corner and of course I smiled and gave an enthusiastic "Hi". I took my time checking in and then had the awkward introduction to his wife which was followed by the awkward what are you doing nowadays, where do you live conversation. Which of course would have been perfectly unawkward had it been taking place in a bar. Oh well, it gives me something to laugh at now. But onto my apt. It went great! They did a quick u/s and Dr. S said it all looked good but that he can not tell 100% by u/s if there is any endo. After the u/s I was escorted back to his office and we talked for about 1/2 hour. At first he kept talking about IVF and I listened for a little bit but them I told him that I am not sure that IVF is an option for us. And it definitely is not an option right now for us. With this news - he proceeded to tell me that with that being the case he felt I should have the Laparoscopy and that he wants Jason to do another SA (unfortunately, Jason was out of town and couldn't make the appointment with me). He did say that depending on the results from those we might be put in the IVF category and at that time can reevaluate "our priorities". I guess that means we will stop spending money on the lavish lifestyle we lead so we can pay for IVF - yes, I am being sarcastic here! Anyhow, my lap will be on Oct 6th or Oct 13th. I am waiting for the office to call me back with a definite date. Dr. S does surgeries on Mondays so I will have to take more time off of work than I had hoped. But what the heck - I could use a good 4 days catching up on all of the trashy magazines. So that is where we are at. Moving forward once again.

Yay for moving forward! =)
How awkward that you ran into an old friend...makes me really glad I didn't grow up here! LOL! Hooray for the Pumpkin Spice Latte (YUM), and I'm so glad that the consult went well. I think it's terrific that you are exploring all of your options instead of just jumping into IVF - that's what we did, and I'm so glad we made that decision. Good luck to you (and we still need to meet sometime soon and GTG for Rock Band)!
After searching around IF blogs, I've found yours and well I see Dr Bush as Conceptions... My husband and I have been TTC for 19 months and now having to go down the road of IVF after 3 failed IUI's. I can totally relate to the taking of wheatgrass shots, acupuncture and the whole lot. Anyway, it's nice (although I wish neither of us were in this situation) to find someone else who goes to Conceptions :)
