Pregnancy Test Drama That Ended Well

So I waited ALL DAY by the phone yesterday to hear the results of my second pregnancy test. I was really anxious to hear, because last year, every positive pregnancy test I got was followed by news that the baby wasn't going to stick. I needed that good second test to feel like I was really and truly pregnant.

6 PM and still no call, so I called the after-hours line at my out-of-town clinic, and they said they never received the results from my local blood draw. And they had left the office for the evening. Nothing to be done. Ugh.

So I called the hospital in my small town where I had my blood drawn, and they said they HAD faxed the results, but they couldn't give the results to me because it was against their policy to give results directly to patients. Ugh. I started crying because A) I'm crazy-hormonal right now, and B) I didn't know how I was going to make it 'til Monday to find out.

Long story short, the tech on the phone hinted that if I came to the hospital they might be able to do something. They all know me...I've come in for what seems like a thousand blood draws over all my IVF cycles last and this year.

When I got there, the tech had a printout with my VERY GOOD test number on it, even thought it wasn't something she was supposed to do, and she all but hugged me, she was so happy for me...she and everyone else in the blood draw center knows how long I've beeen trying to get pregnant. God bless her.

How nice to have experienced the kindness of that tech, and to get the news from someone who is really pulling for me. In the end it worked out perfect.
