Doc Appointment

Well, I had my doctor’s appointment today.  Everything did check out fine with my thyroid levels.  I am relieved, but at the same time a little disappointed.  That would’ve been an easy fix.  Take some medicine to help fix the thyroid problem and pregnancy should occur along with it.  Not quite that easy, I guess.  Oh, well! 

Anyway, he does want to do an ultrasound on my ovaries to check me for PCOS.  I questioned him about this over a year ago because I am so irregular.  At that time he said there wasn’t really any treatment for it if I did have it, so I didn’t need to go through finding out.  Now I am a bit disappointed that I didn’t go in sooner, I guess, or question him more on it because now that could be the entire cause of us not being able to get pregnant these past six months.  They’re going to try and get me in this Wednesday to do the ultrasound and then would have results next week sometime.  If it comes back positive that I do have PCOS (they’d be able to see small cysts on my ovaries), then he has a particular medicine he’d put me on to help boost my entire endocrine system along with Clomid.  I guess that is good that there are some possibilities out there; however, I really want to be able to do this on my own.  I know that sounds stupid, but I wanted for us to be able to get pregnant without all of this stress and drama.  I understand that it doesn’t work that way for many people and that there’s no reason to be upset about it, but I think part of that is just my disappointment and frustration of the way things have gone the past six months.  I don’t think I had prepared myself for all of this, and I should have. 

Only bad thing is that one of the ladies that does ultrasounds at the hospital here is a mom to one of my students in class.  I sure hope that she isn’t the one that does it, but if she does, then I hope she can keep her lips zipped so that word doesn’t get out.  That’s the last thing that we need right now.  Our dream was that we’d get pregnant and be able to tell our parents at Christmas time, but I think time is ticking away too quickly for that to happen.  All we can do is continue to pray about it and leave it up to God for it to happen when He wants it to.  I am trying to be patient, I really am…  🙂 

Tomorrow is the last day of work this week – yay!!  I am ready to have a break, but there’s still a lot that I need to and want to get done before Thanksgiving.  I really should be upstairs making my fruit cups and cookies to take to the families, but I figure it’ll get done sometime.  I do need to do some grading tonight and get some things ready for class tomorrow.  I really want to be able to relax a bit and enjoy the school day tomorrow.  That means few assignments and little work — that’s what we all need the day before Thanksgiving break!

Anyway, I best be off to get something done.  Thank you so much for all of your thoughts and prayers.  You have all been amazing, and I know that God hears all of yours and our prayers and will some day bless us with what He’s meant for us to do.  Have a blessed holiday!
