And I'm always complaining about my hospital around home - I go to a specialist now in Lincoln - two hours away, but I still do my blood tests here at home. Can you believe... after everything they have done to me... I just got a call from my Lincoln dr - my hometown hospital didn't do the progesterone test - they ordered it to be done but they didn't do it... It took over two months to get my test results back on what was done - am I gonna have to wait that long again!?! I'm getting so frustrated with them!! We don't have many options around here, so I'm just about stuck with this hospital unless I want to drive forever just for a blood test... ugh!! It's almost like they are trying to prolong the process on purpose. Once I went in for a blood test and they didn't have the right supplies on hand (?) so I had to come back. They are costing me an awful lot of vacation time here at work... grrr....

Anyway, so I thought my prog test came back okay - but turns out they didn't even do it... so now I'll have to wait on that one.

on the upside: welcome to the ttc world, zoesmomma! Glad to have you in our crazy world!!

Hello everyone,

I am new to the forum but not to ttc, i have been ttc for 15mnths now

I am currently waiting to ovulate which should be in roughly 3 days.

So anywayz i suppose i am sking if i can join in your group?

 

[jenrenee]

kristeelea - absolutely!! We would love to have you here!! Welcome!

Sorry i haven't been on here much lately... i finally got my progesterone test back... it is on the low side, they said - i am still ovulating tho, so she is putting me on Clomid and i will go back in a month to have htem check it again. so I'm taking vitamins, baby aspirin, and now clomid.... i'm really hoping one of them works! And I was thrilled to find something else wrong - that means I have something to fix, right?

Have a Merry Christmas, everyone!!

I'm really surprised they didn't put you on progesterone for your low well, progesterone.

I have low progesterone. I'm guessing you have a short luteal phase too?

Christmas day my 'aunt' walks into the room, taps me on the belly and says 'are you a momma yet' - I seriously wanted to reach out and slap her.

Come to find out later after talking to my mom, who told me that my uncle does know that we are having issues TTC.

Luckily my 'aunt' has always been rude, and a b#(*#*(# - so I didn't take anything too hard - or personally.

Sorry, I just saw this... haven't been on forever. She didn't say I had a short luteal phase... I think she said progesterone was just a bit on the low side... so not much - I don't know if that makes any difference? I've been taking everything this month and will have another blood test in two days, so we'll see what happens!

Had my blood test - the Clomid did the trick! At least for my progesterone levels anyway. They said normal was anything above 20 - I was at 11.6 but after taking Clomid, I'm up to 26. So I'll keep taking Clomid for four cycles, keep taking baby aspirin, and using OPKS - hopefully that will work... one more day in the tww, then I get to see if the Clomid REALLY worked this month... wish me luck!!

I haven't posted in here for a while because, while I loved our little community in here, I know I have friends irl who would read in here and I didn't want them knowing too much about my life.

But it's time to give you some happy updates. I AM PREGNANT!

I fell pregnant and miscarried once more and while I was bleeding (because for a while it looked like I wasn't going to miscarry, my levels were rising, my baby was growing and had a heartbeat, but I was bleeding) I went to see an ob for the first time. He put me on aspirin as soon as my uterus cleared and he gave us the go ahead to try again immediately (so much better than waiting three cycles). I fell pregnant that day, seriously that exact day.

We've had an interesting time with different drugs throughout this pregnancy, I have a blood clotting problem and I've had spotting and also had dropping progesterone levels (which could be stopped thank God). But I feel really blessed to now be a mother of three and every time I have had a hardship or a scare I use it as an opportunity to offer it up (how Catholic of me) for you ladies in here and my sister in law who has been trying for three years now. I pray for you all the time.

I'm half way through now and I can't wait til you post that you've had a bfp.
