A little Update on Me

Original post by MrsJ

I posted this in response to Donna's post but just wanted to put it here too.

I wasn't in any form to be posting yesterday. I had a total breakdown and cried for about 4 hours. Thank God my DH came home early. I was an emotional wreck and in so much pain yesterday.

Well, my doctor said since this isn't the first time this has happened she is going to start running tests on me. But, we can't do them until next month when I get a 'normal' period. Once I do, the tests have to be run on certain days. One cycle day 3 I have to have blood taken to test for a billion and one things. On cycle day 7 I have to go have a Hysterosalpingogram (aka HSG) - Google the term and you will find a lot of info on it but basically they inject dye into me and check my tubes and uterus for abnomalities and blockages. I've heard this is pretty uncomfortable for some reason. Then, 7 days past ovulation I have to have more tests done and 12 days past ovulation, I have to go have my progesterone levels tested and a few other things tested. Then day 21 still more tests. She went over it all with me on the phone but it was so much info to remember - she is sending me all the information on it and all the tests I have to have done. So next month should be interesting.

I'm so thankful that she is doing all the tests on me now, after TTC for 6 months. I couldn't go through another 6 months of this, you know?

thank you so much for your concern!! Kathy

Kathy, I'm so sorry you are going through this... . Hopefully, the doctor will find and fix whatever it is that is preventing you from carrying a baby to full-term.

I have to say I just saw this post, and wanted to say how sorry I was for you! I'm glad that your Dr. is going to do all the tests now, so you don't have to keep going through this heartbreak month after month.

I know what you are going through. Some months seem rougher than others. Some months Im ok, and some I just feel like my world is crumbling down, and that things will never go my way. It will for you, good things come to those who wait, and it will all happen when it is meant to happen.
Hang in there sweetie, and we are all here for you. It is so nice having you ladies. I really dont know what I would do without this board.
