So lets to a little recap....
November, call doc up, hey I haven't had a period in about 6 months, what can you do for me? oh run a bunch of blood work, tell me I probably won't have the best luck in getting pregnant. make me cry. blood work comes back, prolactin level is high (42), thats a red flag, lets get you an MRI because you probably have a growth on your pitutary gland in your brain. fantastic.
December, go get MRI, get an awesome bill of $1400, so not cool. oh no growth? okay then why still no period? oh just because! wth what kinda of answer is that?
Leave it along because its Christmas and stuff, write this same dumb doctor, shes not my fav after all she put me through last time, and lets be honest here, she doesn't seem to care inless in pregnant. she tells me to email a feterlity doc. what is she for reals? never thought i'd have to do that.
email feterlity doc in April, can't get me in intill middle of June, oh ya just keep waiting and driving yourself crazy. June finally rolls around, I meet with her assistant to determine if I even get to see a feterlity doc, shes cool, I cry in frustration. She orders a bunch of lab work, so Dr. Hicks has some ground info to work with.
I met with Dr. Hicks 2 weeks later to discuss all the lab work. By the way my prolcatin level is now a 12, totally normal. She thinks the horomones in my brain aren't releasing to my body to tell my body its time to have a period. She runs some more tests, gives me a pill to take that will hopefully trick my body into having a period (it worked which was good) and says come back in July and we'll talk then. MORE WAITING!
July just eneded and I went back in again for more hopeful answers. Not so good. She now thinks I have polycystic ovarinan syndrome, what so not cool! but whats so strange is I don't have a single other synmptone that points to that to help make a solid shut and close case, just one, I don't have a period. for now i don't worry about it, our goal right now is to try to get my pregnant, we deal with the rest later.
So when this all started I knew that not having a period meant you don't ovoluate on your own, but to hear it from a doc, that just sucks. so now i'm on 3 medications. one for my thyroid, its fine but it could just be in a little better shape for trying to get pregnant. that same one to start a cycle, progesterone, I take that for the next 10 days, hopefully a cycle starts after that, then I take clomid for 5 days, then take an ovolation test in hopes we get a big fat similey face, then we make magic and wait it out and cross our fingers. once we get on the right doseage of clomid we try that for 3-4 cycles. hopefully that just works and we won't have to talk other options.
so ya for now thats where it all stands. i'm trying to not stress and take extra good care of myself this month. in fact i went on a 2 mile walk last night after work and it was so nice to help me unwind from my long 10 hour day at work.
please pray for us that this will work! don't feel sorry for me if it doesn't the Lord has a plan for us, we just don't get to know what it is.
