So we had a doctor’s appointment this morning with my OB/GYN, because it’s been seven months and I haven’t gotten pregnant yet. I’m a freaking wreck most of the time because of this, but my dear doctor seems completely unconcerned. I told her that we’ve been using a fertility monitor for the past two months which has taught us that I ovulate two days earlier than I thought I did. So she pretty much tossed out anything before the past two months, told us to wait and see if it worked this month, and in case it doesn’t, wrote us a presctiption for Hawk to go get a sperm count done and me to have a blood test. If I don’t get pregnant in the next three months, she’ll have me do two rounds of Clomid, which stimulates the ovaries (which kind of scares the crap out of me, because “stimulating the ovaries” can mean releasing more than one egg which can mean TWINS. Eep.
The fact that she is so calm about it makes me feel two different ways: 1) I want to scream and cry and tell her that I’m freaked out and scared that I’ll never get pregnant and to just MAKE IT BETTER, and 2) That if she’s not worried about it, I shouldn’t be worried about it, and just chill the fuck out already. Which is probably the better attitude of the two.
So, if I get my period, it will be sometime during the latter part of next week (isn’t that nice, internet, that you get to know so much about my vagina?), and we go from there. Keep your fingers crossed. I know mine are.
yay! i know about your vagina!
lol. I’m regressing to 10 year old mentality - that is just the funniest word of all time. vagina. vagina. vagina.
Anyway, I know it’s frustrating lady, and I wish I had actual practical advice, but if it’s any consolation, if I was trying, I’d be in the exact same headspace as you are. Both uber frustrated and intellectually trying to keep myself calm. One thing I do know: you are going to get pregnant. I just don’t know when, sadly.
Are you still doing the acupuncture stuff?
No - it was neat and all, but admittedly a little weird
Speaking of vagina, did I ever tell you that my husband calls it “pooter”? Isn’t that lovely?
I will keep my fingers crossed for you, and honestly two days can make a BIG difference…so as much as it is easier to say than do, hang in there!
I hope you had a merry christmas - don’t know if you checked out the recent going-ons at my site, but we were delayed getting to CA, so we are sorry we missed you!
