Progress

I'm so glad today is over. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. I have hope. And excitement. And less anxiety.

I love love love my doctor. We met in his office to review the huge packet of papers I had to fill out. And he read them in front of us. Plus, he HIGHLIGHTED things. I love highlighting. In school, my textbooks were covered in bright colored ink. Almost every sentence because I would find myself highlighting everything that I read. Ha. So when I saw him actually highlighting the information I had filled out, I knew he was a good match. While he was explaining things (and he explained everything!), he wrote upside down (right side up for us) and drew pictures. Of course, most of the information was WAY over my head, but I loved that he actually took the time to explain things to us.

I had my blood drawn so they could run several tests. He then gave me an ultrasound to check my ovaries. He even turned on a heater for me so I wouldn't get cold! He showed me my ovaries and explained what everything was and everything that he was doing. It didn't seem clinical at all. The good news is that my ovaries look good! Whew! But--according to some thin line on the ultrasound, I won't be ovulating this month.

I got a prescription for Prometrium (which is a progesterone pill) for 200 mg that I take for 12 days at bedtime. On the third day of my cycle, I'll go get more blood work done and on the 8-10 day of the cycle I will go have an x-ray of my uterus. Neil had to do his thing to rule out any problems with him. When we get all these other tests done and find out the results, we'll start discussing a treatment regimen. I'm trying to temper down my excitement, but it's so nice knowing that my doctor does this all day long and is going to have a PLAN for us. I love plans, especially if they include a baby! ;)

Oh by the way, when we were walking back to my doctor's office, a woman was there with her TRIPLETS. Apparently, this office helped her conceive them. I almost had a panic attack. But you know what, I'd take 3 if that's what I was supposed to have.

It feels like Sunday to me because I had meetings all day Monday so I didn't see any kids and I was off today. I'm gonna be thrown off all week. Have a happy tomorrow!
