annoying as the soup nazi

I went for blood tests last Saturday...
I have/had many signs of PCOS since my late teens, weight gain, hair growth, irregular periods, depression, infertility.
All of a sudden last year my periods became regular again and I found myself pregnant after a year of having unprotected sex (we didn't stress ourselves our with charting etc).
Unfortunatley that ended up to be an ectopic pregnancy and my tube ruptured in Oct. 06.
Since my first period after my surgery in January '06, we've been ttc again.
We had a hopeful moment in Feb when my period didn't show, although all HPTs came back negative.
Then AF came back to visit March 15th-21st.
I've had no visit since.
I seriously started to get many signs of pregnancy, nausea, cramping, sore heavy breasts, bright blue veins in my breast, dizziness, headaches to name a few... although, most have subsided or disapeared all together in the past few days.
I've been taking HPTs on a regular basis and still, all negative.
Finaly I found an amazing doctor who upon my first visit demanded I have some blood work done to figure out whats going on and to see if I indeed do have PCOS.
I had my tests last Saturday (May 12th) and recieved a call the following Wed (May 16th) with a request to come in to the office, although I had already had booked an appointment for this Friday(May 25th).
I can't help but wonder if my HG came back positive? i haven't even finished getting all my tests done, two more were supposed to be done during my cycle...
How long did your blood work take to get back?
I've also noticed that my cm has been almost egg white for over a week now and that the hair that grows under my chin seems to be growing back thinner and lighter...
Any thoughts???
I'm going crazy here waiting till I can get to the doctors to find out whats going on...

Hmmm...hopefully it's good news!! Here, bloodwork only takes about 2 days max to get back to the dr., so he could already have something to tell you. Other than that, all I can do is wish you ++++++++++++ thoughts!!

I had my hope significantly lifted upon removal when I was asked for a urine sample staight away at the doctors office...
Only to find out that I wasn't pregnant, and that my tests didn't reveal a definite answer re: PCOS.
I was lucky enough to have a physical... can you sense my sarcastic tone? Wasn't a very pleasant surprise to have to be poked all over as I tried to reassure myself that pregnancy will happen soon...
I've been sent off to get some more tests done, a 17-OH Progesterone blood test to be specific.
PCOS isn't out of the picture yet- I guess my testosterone is on the cusp of being normal.
I've done a little research on the internet in re: to the 17-OH progesterone and have learned that it is to diagnose something called Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, after some more research I seem to think that the Nonclassical version is the defining version for my symptoms.
It's often confused in patients and they are misdiagnosed with PCOS.
I've yet to find much about how infertility caused by CAH can be reversed.
Funny, I'm sure many of you can agree...
We go through our lives assuming that when the time comes, we'd be able to conceive with little trouble...
Suddenly... I feel educated enough to be a doctor as I've learned so much about how the female body works in trying to gain understanding as to why mine won't.
My thoughts are prayers are with all of you.
