Doctor's Appt and Wii

Yesterday I went to the doctor for a check up and to have some tests run. These are the tests that need to be done for my fertility treatments. One of the tests for Cystic Fibrosis is quite expensive and so I am going to check with the Fertility clinic to see if it is absolutely nessisary to have it done. I am hoping not. While I was there I got a little bit of a better idea of what I might have to go through for the Invetro, it sound that I will be placed under sedation for the egg retreival, which makes me wonder what it will be like.

On a lighter note I was able to have my doctor prescribe the Wii Fit for me as a treatment for losing weight. Because of this I will most likely be able to have my flex spending plan pay for it. I plan on using it in conjunction with my eliptical, I am trying to get to the point where I am working 30 minutes a day on the eliptical and 30 minutes on the Wii, currently I am up to about 20 minutes on the eliptical and 20 minutes on the Wii. I am going to try to get up a little higher today on the eliptical, and see if I can get to 30 min on the Wii.

(Update: I received a call from my doctor's office about my tests and the fertility clinic I wanted to use. From them I was able to obtain the fertility clinic's phone number and call them about the cystic fibrosis test. The clinic said that the test was optional but not needed, basically if I had it done then they would like the results but otherwise they did not need them. Yay for that. This means I just have to go in on Friday morning and have some blood drawn and then I should be ready in regard to all my tests needed for my fertility clinic requirements. I am happy that I am getting closer.)
