Hey all...today is a better day than yesterday....still cramping but feeling in better spirits at the moment...
Anyway...had a good doc appt....First thing he said to me was to assure me it wasn't my fault and it wasn't anything I did or didn't do...I asked about progesterone levels and whether that might have been a factor etc....He said more than likely it was just nature's way.... my body detecting something was wrong...We talked about how a woman is only born with so many eggs and how as one gets older those eggs become fewer and some become a little less than perfect...and how it is harder to get pg when older...He told me not to give up...talked about ways to increase our chances of catching the eggie...stuff we had talked about before like taking temps, keeping track of CM and even positions...I asked about Clomid and he said that would definitely get me ovulating but he wants to wait until we have my hormone level results first...He said afterwards if I wanted to be on Clomid he would prescribe it for me...He also said we don't have to wait a cycle if we don't want to..that once my bleeding stops and I feel ready we can get back to "loving" as much as we want...He will refer me to one of the OB's in town likely once we are pg and I will continue to see him up until about 20 wks or so and then more than likely strictly see them... and the good thing is they actually are in practice together so they sort of tag team...I already know the female doc but haven't met the male doc yet...I guess now I just wait and see what comes back from my b/w and we'll go from there....He wrote me another prescription for folic acid as the one I had was done...I am still taking the extra folic acid and my prenatal vitamins..I have other thoughts (questions) about progesterone and Clomid running through my head right now...but I'll leave it at that for the moment...That basically in a nutshell was my appt...

**Queen Angie you'll be happy to know I have got a little stash of goodies..I actually bought 2 chocolate bars when I went to the drug store...and then instead of going to the grocery store I went to Tim Horton's and bought...a brownie, a nanaimo bar, a caramel crunch (has chocolate on it!!) square and an apple toffee danish...I am going to go and get my decaf (seems kinda funny..) coffee now and start munching!!! Thanks again all my friends...I know there are brighter days ahead...I know realistically there will be weepy days ahead too but I know we will get through it...alot of that is due to all of your prayers, hugs and kind words...
