No Baby on the Way - Yet
When I got up Saturday morning, I discovered I wasn't pregnant--after a measly 25-day cycle. What's up with that? Last month it was short too. Oh, wait....No. Um....I don't know. It probably has something to do with the whole time thing. New Zealand is 18 hours--almost one full day--ahead of Ohio. That likely messed things up, which is why last month seemed so early and this month seems off.
Anyway, I'm seeing a specialist February 9. I do feel loyalty to the doctor I'm seeing now as he's been my gyn. since 1999. But, I'm not pregnant yet, and he doesn't specialize in that, and I'm 37--each month counts. So I'm switching to a doctor recommended by a friend of mine from high school. My friend saw this doctor and now has a little girl about one year old. Success!
a January 23 addendum to this post--
Yesterday my doctor called, the one to whom I feel loyal. He said that my estrogen level was 3.6 (unknown [to me] units). That means I didn't ovulate even though I was taking 50 mg Chlomid in order to do so. He said it needs to be at least 8 to 10 to indicate that I've ovulated, and when this whole thing started and my first estrogen level was measured at 1.8, he said a level of 10 to 14 is normal. I have a long way to go. So the doctor called in a two-month prescription for me of 100-mg Chlomid. That's only 10 pills because I only take five a month.
I asked him if he'd heard of the doctor I was planning on seeing. Yes. He said she is a fertility specialist and nothing she will provide is covered by insurance. (The Chlomid is not covered by insurance either, but my appointments are.) He said that he'll send me to a specialist once his options have run out. I'm hoping these 100-mg Chlomid send a couple eggs to the hatchery and I have twins and get it all over with, that's what I'm hoping. Mark is too.
