Pregnancy Info HOME

Good morning to all of my friends...sorry I haven't written in a few days but I have been in a pretty bad mood. I guess that we could say that it started on Thursday when I was having very scanty, brownish pink spotting. I really thought that I was pregnant this month as my boobs had swollen to the size of watermelons, my temperature had remained elevated since ovulation, I had some speels of nausea and I thought that the spotting that I was having was implantaion bleeding. Well...WRONG AGAIN! I got my period yesterday morning and am just really starting to shake my head as to why me! I know that you all have and are going through. I took the bulls by the horn though and am trying something different in 10 days. When the spotting started on Thursday I called my ob office and explained the situation. The nurse called back with the response to just stay on the prometrium until my due date for period which is today (Sunday) and then if the test is negative stop it and just continue trying and we will see you in October for your annual. I was like ok...what you also must know is that the practice that I go to has recently become so oversaturated with patients that I was supposed to have my annual in August and they can't get me in until October!!!! Yeah, I hope that you are all thinking what I am in that I am just wasting months here with no medical help or advice. All of my other friends including most of you have docs that are proactive and have tested mid month sonos and bloodwork, well mine has NEVER done any of that!!! So after I ended that conversation with the nurse I spoke with my husband who like I have said before is in the medical field and knows all of the ob's from his rotation and asked him who a second opinion would be good from. I called that prospective office and explained my situation. Ironically enough the receptionist who I spoke with floats at different offices and my previous is one of them so she knew exactly my frustrations and felt really bad for me and was actually somewhat shocked that they have never checked my mid-cycle levels at this stage of the game. So here is how it goes...I have to see that doctor exactly mid cycle and for me that happens to be the day when I usually have my LH surge! So, I am hoping that he sends me immediately for a good workup and we can get this ball rolling. Until then I am going to keep my chin up and keep smiling...yes, I have crossed over from the crying, upset mode to the "I can do this again" mode! The one thing that I could use right now from all of you is some advice on anything else that I should request from my new doctor to do....any additinal tests that you have all had done or anything like that....you guys have always been such a wonderful support structure for me on here and have helped me through many tough months! I thank you all for that. Please keep me updated on how you all are doing! I will talk to you all soon...we can do this:)
