Update on the tests

On Saturday me and R went to my doctor to see why I had not gotten my period. He told me that I was not ovulating which I already knew and asked us if we wanted to start up testing and medication. As I had mentioned in an earlier entry, me and R had planned on trying to conceive in January, but since we were already there, I figured we could start now… BUT, R said NO, right in front of the doctor he said we had planned for January, that is what I want…. So I guess that all these times that I had been hoping for a baby when I was late, he was hoping to put it off for a couple of more months. I guess it hurt because he could have told me all of that at home.

Anyway, my doctor prescribed a cycle of Premarin 1.25mg for 21 days and Provera for 12 days, starting on the 16th day of Premarin… confused? So was I. That cycle of pills was supposed to bring on my period, he told me that if I got it before I finished that treatment, to continue it until I finished. It turns out that on Saturday I took my pills and on early Sunday, I got my period, needless to say, I don’t think the pills could have bought that on my period so soon, so I called him and he told me to discontinue the use of the pills until next month if I am late again.

In the meantime, I guess, I am just going to continue as I have been up till now. Having sex with really no chances of getting pregnant and wait until January when I have to go in to see the doctor again so I can have a sonogram done, a battery of blood tests and if the only problem is the ovulation thing, I start on Clomid. The DR. was very happy that I had lost weight and encouraged me to continue losing, so I could have a healthy pregnancy when the time comes. Although he was surprised that I had not gotten my period because he says things should get back to normal as I lose weight.

And if you are wondering how I am feeling about this, I am just trying not to dwell on it. I am praying every night that when the time comes things wont be so bad and we can treat the problem in an easy way and that God blesses my marriage with at least one child.

I really wanted to thank Betty zoesmomma Narami and Missy for the encouraging notes and support.
