Pregnancy Info HOME

DANIELLA -- I think you may be mis-interpreting my emails. I am not trying to avoid seeing a doctor at all. My m/c happened early in October. I did not get my first a/f until Jan 1st. My first two cycles were very whacky, heavy, long, basically not back to normal yet. My a/f that started on June 10th was technically my 6th cycle since the m/c but really only my 4th somewhat normal cycle. I feel like I am giving my body a chance to do it's thing before I jump the gun & start thinking something is wrong with me. After over a decade of being on the pill, conceiving on the 1st try after going off it and then having a m/c a month and a half later, I feel like my body had allot to straighten out. I have an appt with my new internal medicine doctor (the one I saw in Jan that ran the bloodtests for my hcg, prolactin levels and thyroid) on July 27th for a pap/pelvic exam & to discuss what has been happening since we met in January. I will see her sooner if there is a cancellation in her schedule. With the new HMO insurance I have there are no board certified OB's, only internal medicine and family practice doctors. My intention all along was to start seeing the OB's at the Clinic where I had been working with the midwives last year as soon as I get pregnant. Right now I can not make an appt with them just for a pap/pelvic exam. So, I am doing what I can to see my doctor. It is just that this is a whole new doctor for me and there is not much of a relastionship formed yet. I had hoped to be pregnant by now so I could get right in to the OB's. But since I am not and I am overdue for my pap I am seeing my internal medicine doc for that in July. As for my friend who does the energy work. I have had only two sessions with her and it is not like she has claimed seeing her will get me pregnant. I know you are skeptical about the whole concept, that is OK. I was too and that is why I asked that she work with me so I could see what it is all about. Unless you experience it you can not completely understand. But I did not see her expecting to get pregnant because of it. We all know it is way more intricate then that. As for the accupuncture, it is just something to think about if we continue to be unsuccessful and the steps I take with my doctor or the new OB's in the months to come do not help. I know I am now over 35 but I think you need to have been trying for 6 months before they will want to start extensive testing. I want to give it another couple cycles and go from there. My patience pops up in surprising times and places I guess. Also, thank you, I too hope that DH and I will have an beautiful blue eyed baby someday :-) Dawn
