More Waiting

The birth control did it's job. I started my cycle on Friday (just heavy spotting) and then full flow by Saturday. I had my blood work drawn this morning. They drew 10 tubes of blood (I kid you not!). Since I know how much those tubes hold I can tell you that they drew 55ml of blood (almost 2 oz). Yikes. Between that and the coming down off the sugar high from drinking that horrible orange stuff for my glucose tolerance test, no wonder I feel pretty crummy this afternoon. I'm hoping that by the beginning of next week, they will have all my results back and I will get a phone call from the doctor to discuss.
I called Amy, my RE's nurse, this morning after I got done and let her know that I had started and that my blood work was done so that the office would be looking for it. I am waiting on her to call me back about other procedures that need to be done. I know he wants to do a HSG but he also talked about a hysteroscopy. Those have to be done around cycle day 10 which would be Monday of next week. I'm supposed to work Sun-Tues night next week before we go on vacation. I may have to be taken off or call in... Hopefully, I'll hear from Amy this afternoon, if not, I will by tomorrow morning. They are great about returning calls :)

Now We Wait

I finished up my BCP on Sunday, taking my last pill. Now the waiting game begins. If everything goes the way it always has with BCP then I should start my cycle on Thursday or Friday of this week. Hopefully by Monday of next week I can get my blood work done and get my HSG scheduled.

I Hate Birth Control

That's really all I wanted to say! I hate being back on birth control. I'm moody, cranky, and just plain don't feel good. I'm nauseated and have a headache. Ugh... 3 whole weeks of this...

Take Two

I went to see the RE today and didn't actually see him... I just saw his nurse, Amy. We did another vaginal ultrasound... yay. Surprisingly, my lining wasn't super thick. I hope that's not another problem we're going to have to deal with later. We chatted a bit and I got a prescription for a month of birth control. It worked last time to bring on a cycle so hopefully, it will work again. So, I'll take the 3 weeks of pills and then wait for a cycle to start. Then it will be blood work on cycle day 3. We also talked about getting my HSG scheduled. That needs to be done on cycle day 8-10 (depending on how the days fall). Looking at a calendar, I should be able to get it done right before we leave for Vegas on June 19. I'm really anxious to get moving on this. I've started to get a bad, "why me" attitude about the whole thing when I really need to stay positive.

Time Wasted

Well, the last 4 months since I first visited the RE have basically gone to waste. I've had no cycle, so no blood work has been done and we're still sitting in the same place. I finally called his office and told them what was going on thinking that he would just prescribe some different medication to bring on a cycle. Nope, he wants to see me. So, I have an appointment on Monday afternoon. Probably going to get another ultrasound... yay... I'll post tomorrow about anything I find out.

Nothing New, but It's Been a While

Nothing new to report on my end. That's probably why I haven't written. I still haven't made a phone call to the RE to let him know that the progesterone didn't work and that's why I haven't done the blood work yet. I've just been so busy with work and extra things for work and distracted by life in general. I really need to make that phone call this week. I really wish I was one of those lucky ones that could get pregnant without medical intervention. No one in my family has ever had this issue, and honestly, it just isn't fair. I have a friend that just had her 3rd little one a couple of weeks ago and I know quite a few people who are talking about having their second or third. It's really just not fair. I know I'll get my little one in God's time, but I've never been a patient person. Maybe it would be easier to be patient if I knew that I could get pregnant on my own...

Prayers

Nothing new to report with me. Things are the same. I'm writing today to ask everyone to pray for my friends the Clarks. They lost their sweet baby yesterday morning. He was such a fighter for the short time he blessed us with his presence. He had such an impact on my life and I'm heartbroken that he's gone. However, just knowing that he's now pain free and happy in heaven makes it a little better. Also, please pray for the May family. Their little one will be going to heaven today. Such sad days. It's hard to keep it all in perspective sometimes....
