I have no clue what I'm saying.. it's the caffeine deprived brain.. chai tea jsut doesn't cut it and I'm out of my drug of choice wahhhhhhhh.

 

[funnygarcia]

soooooooooooooooooooooo staley -- spill it woman, how messed up are your inner women workings..

Just a joke honey.. no really.. what's up??

 

[staley7580]

Okay... I went to the Dr. today. For my follow up to go over my test results...

Basically my tests came back fairly normal. The only thing she could really pin point was that my testosterone levels are on the high end of normal.Almost NOT normal.. But still normal. She thinks that maybe I am super sensitive to the testosterone that I have, and that is what is causing my symptoms.

She prescribed me some water pills to help with some of the issues, and said the only other thing that would help it would be birth control pills.. Obviously those are out! I have no idea HOW the water pills are supposed to help, I didnt think to ask her. I am taking these for 2 months, then I go back.

She said to wait 3 cycles before starting to try again. I havent even had a period yet, so who knows when that will be. She said maybe 4 weeks after the mc. She also sadi that she could put me on progesterone to get my cycle going, but since I have never really had issues with it there isnt really a need.

She also said that if I wasnt pregnant within 3 months of trying, then she will go ahead and put me on Clomid. Then when I DO get pregnant, she will put me on progesterone.

Hey Staley. I'm glad the doctor was able to let you know what was going on. I hope the pills help.

I've read that lots of women who miscarry have too little progesterone during the first trimester, so they've been able to avoid many, many miscarriages by giving women progesterone from the get-go. A gal I used to work with had a daughter who was given progesterone after one miscarriage, and her next pg went perfectly with the progesterone!

There's nothing that can be done about the testosterone levels? Tell DH to tone it down, his manliness is infecting you.

 

[staley7580]

Can I just say that this appt. blew ssa. I got to sit in a lobby full of big ole fat pregnant mamma's, and think about how that night NEVER be me. Well, again. Then I got to hear all about how she doesnt really know WHATS up... Maybe Im just broken. She obviously DIDNT say that! but its all I was thinking.

I felt so stupid, I totally cried all the way home. Dh is insistent that he wants to at least try for another baby. What if I just cant? He says he knows that we might not have another one, and he wont be upset, but that is horse poo. When I suggested we try for another baby last year, he had thrown out the BC in about 3 seconds.

Gag.. Okay, Im done. stupid girly feelings.

 

[funnygarcia]

hmm, so good news in a confusing sort of way.

Don't ya just hate it when they can't give you a straight answer?

you don't have stupid girly feelings.

hey, it's cool to be a girl.

we just have to put up with periods, cramps, hormones raging, finding a decent bra, pelvic exams, mammograms........ on second thought

I know! I was just as confused leaving, then I was going in!

Oh, and Alex, the birth control pills would help with the testosterone. But she knows I dont want those... Namely because when she asked me about it at my last appt, I had a complete mental breakdown. So those are off the table for now.

 

[staley7580]

you don't have stupid girly feelings.

Thanks, I just dont do well with the crying and such. I tend not to be a very sensitive person... DUH!

Yeah... RIGHT! Its about as much fun as a swift kick in the pants.

Awww.

It's not stupid, and it's perfectly normal and understandable.

When we went through all the infertility stuff, they couldn't find a reason why we couldn't get pregnant. I mean I had a known issue that CAN make it more difficult to get pregnant, or maintain a pregnancy, but lots of women get pregnant even with that, so they didn't think that was the issue. We went through all kinds of unbelievable, sometimes painful, almost always embarrassing tests. And nothing in the tests indicated a problem with either one of us.

I think back on all that and wonder at it all. People really do break up over the stress of infertility, and it's no wonder. The hardest part was not knowing WHY. And every month hoping, and then when the "." started, crying my eyes out. There were a couple times I felt off, and I thought maybe... but no. And a couple times when I got no "." (and I was regular, like a clock!), but the doc checked me out and said sometimes we just have a missed cycle, no egg released, no "." Soooo frustrating!

Oh, I thought you blamed all the belching and farting instruction on him. Are you saying YOU'RE to blame???

DH likes to brag that (with himself and the two boys) testosterone drips from the walls at our house.

Figuratively speaking, of course. He means that there's belching and farting and ball-throwing and self-adjustments, all the while one mama looks on:

GAWD. I cant even put a coherent sentence together.

MAYBE... I did tell Mikalah that if she eats her beans, they will make her fart.
