The Results are in !!

Nerves were shattered all yesterday morning, tummy was flipping and i was sure we were going to be dealt another crappy card...after all we havent had much luck with this IF cack so far !!
Left for work and df left for the docs, ...he was going to phone me with the result.
Funny thing tho as i got in the car to get to work my radio came on ... and take thats new song had just started......'Today this could be ...... the greatest day of our life'....i thought to myself 'im taking that as a good sign'.
I drove to work with my phone in my hand, constantly checking that i had a signal, that it was on loud tone...blah blah ...
Anyway around 9.30 am (ish) the phone rings.....Oh God its him !! His voice didnt sound scared or worried.....i breathe out for the first time in about 2 hours. 'Its up a bit - one million'. (im assuming its 1 million per ml....so a good few million in the whole sample..YES...good news....oh and there is more, we have been referred to a uroligist and a fertility specialist .....EXCELLENT!!
This may sound crazy, but after the last results of 200'000/ml i was terrified we were going to go back for a result and be told there is none .... so to be told we have 1 million is good, now we know its still not enough, maybe enough now for a miracle but we still know we need treatment, so to then be referred and get this nasty little ball rolling is great news ! We are pleased...scared shitless but very pleased.
Df told his mum today.....she is upset for us (shes a bubbler lol)... she will be gr8 support tho as will her husband...(not df's dad....hes a tube and we dont talk to him).
So now its waiting times for appointments, both consultants we will see work in the hospital where i work, so im hoping to use my contacts to pull a wee appointment forward. Fingers crossed for that !!

We have a pathway now, IVF/ICSI at Glasgow Royal...i think the waiting list is about 2 years long...that gives them enough time to guarantee the medical advances to be sure i get pregnant - with twins !!! No pressure !

That's good news! I'm confused though...what do you have to wait 2 years for?
