My "Infertile" Life... East Meets West

After 14 months/11 cycles since my D&C and nothing, it was time to take the bull by the horns.

Two weeks ago I started Fertility Accupunture.  My mother had been begging me to go since August 2010.  I'm glad I made the call.  Its so relaxing.  She suggested what to add and what to take out of my diet and she gave me some strange Chinese herb concoction to drink as a tea.  I see her once a week and I can't wait for my appointment.  I love it!!

Today I saw my OB/GYN.  She asked if I was "really trying" and if I wanted to see a specialist. I said yes, we're really trying and yes, I guess its come down to that.  She had to add that "really" in there??  Geesh.

I told her about my spotting before AF and if she thinks I should get a P4 progesterone test done... she told me I read too much. But she agreed. She also wants me to get my TSH and Prolactin tested. So good thing I made an appointment with the lab yesterday for Saturday morning (I didn't want the Saturday appointments to book up).

She also wants me to come in for an ultrasound to check that all's ok in there. I do that on Wednesday.  And if I'm not pregnant she wants me to get a hysterosalpingogram.

Oh and Peter got a parting gift...

I feel great now that things are in motion.  I still kick myself for waiting so long, but I can't look back.  Only forward from this point on!
