Sorry for the lack of posts. Busy. This is all going to be super rushed, but I feel the need to post something, so here you go:
Monday and Tuesday were super stressful this week because I went to the doctor to find out why I hadn’t gotten a positive on my ovulation tests yet. Turns out I was not developing any follicles, basically my cycle had not started back up again. Dr. did a blood test to check my FSH and estradiol levels, and let me tell you I have been dreading this test ever since he first mentioned it during one of our first meetings. Any woman who is having trouble conceiving, who also does her share of obsessive internet research, will tell you that these two hormones are very very important. Bad readings on these hormones can mean the difference between a minimally expensive and minimally invasive procedure like IUI and the thousands of dollars and hormonal hell that is IVF, or even early menopuase. Needless to say, I was a little nervous.
Anyway, so I spent a good 24 hours waiting for the results of the blood test and all seems to be well. The doctor put me on a short course of birth control pills and when I start my period he’s going to put me on some low-dose fertility drugs to help me ovulate. He said, “we’ve been monitoring you for so long, we’re done monitoring. Now it’s time for action.” Ooooooooookay!
Also, my company was mentioned on the Dr. Phil show yesterday, as a part of their Valentine’s Day episode. Dr. Phil’s wife recommended Perfect Veil as one of her favorite gift ideas. Holy crap, the Power of Dr. Phil. We had a raging response, at least one hundred orders off our website by the time I left at 6pm. Today promises to be super busy, packing all those orders and processing new ones that come in.
I doubt I will have a chance to post again this week, so have a great long weekend everyone!
