Well I did it! I went to see my RE today! I am currently on CD 44 and no BFP to be seen! I don't feel pregnant and am actually relieved to not see a Positive right now. I would be convinced that it was another ectopic pregnancy. He ordered a whole bunch of blood tests. I am eager to find out what the results are, but won't find out for three weeks!! They will be calling this morning to tell me whether or not I am pregnant so I can start the progesterone pill to induce a period! Which is why I have to wait 3 weeks to find out. I might ask about my FSH level too (if they get it this early)! He doesn't think I am perimenopausal, but that level will surely tell us. It was elevated to 10 (which is the beginning of borderline status) about 3 years ago. He made it sound like my problem (whatever he thinks it might be, but he wouldn't tell me) was an easy fix. I sure hope that is true!
He told me that it could be a number of things and would know better when the results are all in. He said it could be beginning diabetes too. But I was tested for that last year with my yearly exam. I am pretty sure that isn't it, but I am on a diet anyway. I know I need to lose weight and am going on a 12 week program! My best friend and hubby are doing it with me! I tried to workout last night, but was not feeling 100% to do too much. I will definitely try again tonight!
I haven't seen him in 2 years. He had told us that our only chance at getting pregnant was to go through IVF. We had tried one round of clomid/IUI, but when that didn't work and we had to shell out $1100 for it, we decided that we would adopt! And trust me, I am soooo glad we did! I love my little man so much! Even when he has had the stomach flu for 6 days and I am going on absolutely NO sleep! Anyway....back on track! My RE was so happy to hear that we adopted and that I had (what he called) a "Spontaneous" pregnancy. In other words, we got pregnant on our own! Even though it ended in miscarriage. I think that gave him hope that I can get pregnant and something else is going on. He almost made it sound like maybe my progesterone is out of whack and all I need is to take that every month! Wouldn't that be great???
I almost hate to hope about getting pregnant again! I still was so happy to think it wasn't possible and to just have adopt for all my kids! I don't want to go through so much just to find out that same information AGAIN!!! I was almost hoping to hear it sounded like menopause was on it's way! I know that is a horrible thing to say, but with everything we have gone through, I just don't know how to feel any differently!
I guess right now I will mainly focus on my weightloss and try to figure out my cycles and fix them on the side. I will not focus my energy on getting pregnant. It is just an added stress that I do NOT need at this moment! With the holidays just happening and my kids' birthday coming very quickly, I have enough on my plate!
Beeper went off, time to force another 2oz down my son so he doesn't get dehydrated!
