So I called my RE's office on Tuesday to speak to a nurse. I couldn't remember if I was supposed to wait for 4-6 weeks from the date of the D&C or the date of follow up appointment.
The nurse clarified it was 4-6 weeks from the date of the D&C. Fine, that makes today that 6th weeks. I can't believe it has been 6 weeks, but it has been. I guess I would have been 13 weeks pregnant if things were fine.
Yesterday, again, I had this really really stretchy CM. It surely makes me think I might be having Asherman's. The last time I had my positive OPK was on 1/5, I think. It's been about one cycle away from then. Since I am definitely not pregnant, where the hell is my period then!!!! I just know I won't get my period. Not today, not tomorrow, not next week. I figured I would go ahead and call my RE's office for an appointment, but she won't be available until 2/10. Are they fucking kidding me? Why is it she seemed to magically have openings if I needed her for other things. For example, if I get my period today, I'd be calling to schedule my SIS to look for that stupid polyp and she will take me because it has to be done during the certain days of your menstrual cycle. If I said I have a positive pregnancy test, she would have me in her office this afternoon for a damn blood work. I left a message for a nurse to get back with me. Hopefully, she will try to work something out for me. Why the hell do I have to wait another week just for my doctor to see me maybe for five minutes MAX. It aggravates me. It's not some small fees she will be charging me either. It's bad enough I had to have miscarriage and D&C, why am I still in limbo? I JUST WANT TO MOVE ON!!!!! I still need to have other procedures to correct my problems and I am sure that will take time for me to recover, too. Let me get to that step!!!! I don't have forever here.
I'm so sorry. It's so frustrating when things are put on hold in our trying to conceive journey. It's hard to be patient when all we want is to start a family with our husbands. There is a medication that helps start a period, I can't think of its name but I think it starts with an "L" - is it possible your RE would prescribe this so you'll period will start? I guess you won't find out until your February 10th appointment right? :( I'll be praying for your period to start soon so that you can move forward.
ReplyDeleteYeah. I know it's not that long when you look at it in a grand scheme of things, but it feels like forever. The nice nurse at my RE office called me back and she said she will talk to my doctor to see if she thinks I should have a blood work or ultra sound done. She will call me back on Wednesday when the doctor comes in.
DeleteI want her to check and make sure I have no adhesion in my uterus. I don't think the hormone imbalance is the issue here. I tested positive twice in the last month for OPK, so that leads me to believe occlusion is the problem. I guess they won't know unless they do another die test or hysteroscopy.
I know what you mean. It's just a week but it feels like F-O-R-E-V-E-R in the world of infertility. We know our bodies best, even better than our RE's, so don't be afraid to tell the RE your thoughts b/c I know this has been frustrating for you and Tim. Infertility is frustrating period. It's amazing how it takes over our lives and consume us. I feel like I've lost two years of my life to infertility and it sucks. I just hope this is our year, for both of us, so we can move on.
DeleteYes, I hope this is our year. 2014 has just started. I hope we can both move on and talk about our pregnancy and babies. Not this science bullshit. :( Although I must say I have learned so much about reproductive system. More that I care to know at this point. If I was this obsessive and passionate about my CPA exam, I have passed them by now.
