We have a couple of more days until Leandra goes in for blood work that will give us the answer to our "investment." I'm not trying to sound impersonal...but we did throw down a good chunk of cash.
We have a friend who is also going through IVF (and reads this blog) who suggested that we could do a home test one week after the eggs were implanted. There is the obvious "need to know right now" reaction that would dictate doing the test.
On the other hand, there is the possibility of getting undesired news before the actual blood test is done. What if there was a false positive...or even a false negative? Is it worth the potential build-up or let down?
With a home test, we could know on the spot and then deal with the aftermath together (positive or negative). With the blood test, Leandra will go to have blood drawn and then wait until the lab produces the results which could be sometime in the afternoon. We'll both be at our respective jobs...not the exact way I would want to share the moment.
We've already waited the majority of the the two-week span. With only three days left, would you take the home test now or wait until the doctor tests your blood?

Hey D, I think I'd wait (that's SO hard to say) but perhaps I'd ask if I could call them so that you and Lea still could be together for the results. Perhaps a late lunch? One way or another I'd find a way to do it together. We are SO HOPING for you guys!!!!!!!
