Before I get started, this will probably contain too much information for some. I apologize. There is no way around it when you are TTC.
So, I had to chart this month and I was pretty certain I ovulated by the temperature spikes. I also started weight watchers and have lost 13.6 pounds in 4 weeks. My pants are already starting to fall off. It feels great!
Okay, so we are on the way and get slammed by a storm. You have no idea how great that rain smelled and felt!
We get there and Beverly, Dr. Reshef's AWESOME nurse immediately says that she can tell I've lost weight. I show her my weight watcher's progress reports and she asks to weigh me. Of course, it confirms the reports. She hugs me and tells me the good news I absolutely ovulated!!! Which means the medicine works! I also started my cycle on my own! ON MY OWN! No prometrium! This is defintely a step in the right direction!!! I was so excited!!! She also explained that we missed the day to "practice" by one day. :( so I'm still not pregnant BUT I did ovulate.
Dr. Reshef comes in and I just need to add how AMAZING of a physician he is! He says he is pleased by my hard work and progress. I just need to add I am more than pleased. Anyways, we get on with the ultrasound (my least favorite part of the appointment) and my uterian wall is still thick. This presents a small problem. So, he tells me that this could be a sign of pre-cancer and if it hasn't shed any by next month, he is going to have to do a biopsy and if it shows to pre-cancerous of any kind, he will do a D&C. I am a little worried...I mean the word cancer is in there and it's a bit scary.
So for now, Dr. Reshef wants us to continue with the Clomid (since it worked) and to use an ovulation predictor kit. The Clear Blue & Easy brand is the one they recommend. I also have to continue to temperature chart. He would also like for us to come in for a post coital test. If you want information on that, message me because it's kind of graphic. Also, if you've had one done, please message me. I really didn't want to do one....it sounds gross....
Anways, I am really so very happy today because most of it was good news!
God is so good. He did it...all of it.. Have you heard the song Always by Kristian Stanfill. If not you should YouTube it. It's my new favorite! The chorus goes like this:
Oh, my God, He will not delay
My refuge and strength always
I will not fear, His promise is true
My God will come through always, always
My refuge and strength always
I will not fear, His promise is true
My God will come through always, always
This is so the truth! I am living it! Things are on his time and in the mean time you can lean on him for strength. He keeps his promises! He always comes through!! He is an AMAZING God!!!!
Also, Johnathan is a pretty amazing husband. Most guys, my dad and brother included, can barely stand words like menstration and uterus and ovaries. But, Johnathan is there for it all. He doesn't blame me and supports every decision. He asks the doctor questions and really tries to understand.
