Spotting or period... I am sick of this

I woke up 3 am to go to bathroom and there she was.  Period.  But again, I have no idea what the hell this is supposed to mean. My weekly progestrone blood drawing has been 0.5 and 1.6 for the last two weeks, which my nurse said I have not ovulated.  Then why am I getting my period?  Doesn't that mean my progestrone had gone down?  I have blood that is more than spotting, but it's not really like a period.  This is not "full flow."

I am so tired of this.  I want to move on.  It's been almost 4 months since my D&C.  After Dr. I removed the scar tissue, I thought I was done.  Did the scar grow back?

I am really mad that I had D&C instead of medically induced miscarriage.  The pill would have cost a lot cheaper.  Instead, that damn doctor immediately moved to do a D&C.  As it is, I am defective with my half a uterus.  Now I am even more defective.  As I wait around, I am already 36 pushing 37.  I can't be waiting to see what happens with my body.  Time is ticking away and before I know it, my factory will close.

I looked at adoption option and it is costs as much as doing a three round of IVF.  I wonder if I should just look for a surrogate.  It is cheaper in Mexico.

  1. Aw hun your factory is not closing until you say it's time. Lots of women are getting pregnant in their late 30's. You can't give up and have to believe it will happen.

    Adoption is expensive and I was shocked to learn that. There are so many children that need a home but yet the agencies make it impossible by making it so expensive. Are foreign adoptions cheaper than domestic? As for IVF, don't give up on that, shop around. Clinics charge different fees. We spent about $11,000 total (paid via credit card that will take us years to pay off ofcourse). There are also groups that award grant money to pay for IVF. Baby Quest Foundation is one group.

    What does your new RE think about you getting a period without ovulating? You are not the first with this problem - lots of women have this. Hang in there sweetie. I know everything seems really bad now but remember, it's not the end if you're not happy. (hugs)

    1. Even the foreign adoptions looked about the same. I hate to sound mean, but I wouldn't want to spend that much money for someone else's child. It pisses me off when people say "you can always adopt." Why should I.

      I will be speaking to my doctor on 3/28, but until then I really don't know. The nurse I spoke to said that if my lining is still thin, I may not have enough to shed, so my period could be lighter, but she said with Asherman, we really have to monitor what is happening to my body.

      So far, my weekly blood tests all show that I have not ovulate. Everyone else seems to be moving on except me. The first quarter of 2014 is almost over and I am still in this fog of unknown.

    2. It doesn't sound mean at all. Personally, I don't understand why adoptions are so expensive since it serves as a barrier to getting more children into permanent homes.

      I'm so sorry you're going through this. I remember feeling the same way too that everyone else was moving on, except me. I hated that feeling and I had it many times over the 2.5 years we were trying, believe me. We just have to keep our head up and keep believing. Remember, you got pregnant once before, which means you can again. I know it and I know you're going to be pregnant this year. Forget that the first quarter is almost over, let's make by the end of 2014 our goal because we know it will happen sometime this year.

      And we have to trust your new RE. He IS going to get you pregnant. I know it. Your appointment is just 10 days away and then he'll formulate a new plan for you. We have to believe. Infertility is a battle you will win. (hugs)
