Hello Dear Ladies!
I am just checking in (-I have not had a lot of time to be online/read the chatter in this wonderful waiting room, as my baby sis is visiting from out of province).
I shall put some time aside tomorrow to get acquainted/re-acquainted with you and learn how each of you have been doing.
Congratulations to those of you who have had BFPs withing the last couple of weeks!
For those of you who are still waiting and hoping, I'm still with you, sisters!
Here is my update:
I just got my cycle day 3 blood test results back and aside from being slightly iron deficient, I am "fine".
While it is always wonderful news to get a clean bill of health, I came away a bit frustrated...
I had almost hoped the Doc would have found something amiss (ie:in the way of a hormone imbalance etc) which could explain my apparent inability to conceive.
In other words,
I thought,
if we could FIND A PROBLEM, we would KNOW WHAT TO FIX..!
On the bright side, Doc will FINALLY be granting me a referral for a consult with a GYN from the IWK women's & Children's hospital here in Halifax (fert clinic).
He did warn me that, during our initial Q&A, the specialist will probably look at me sideways when I tell her my bloodwork is currently all good AND that I have two healthy children already* whose conceptions required no fert intervention.
Really?!
To me,the fact that I had two easy FAST conceptions followed by OVER TWO YEARS of unsuccessfully TTC ought to indicate to her a deeper investigation is required!
Especially since, according to every LH strip I have used, I have not ovulated in at least a year.(the one time I DID get a second line showing, it was faint: far lighter than the 'comparison line')
In fact, for the past few months I have been testing for an LH surge EVERY SINGLE day from the last day of my period until the day before my next to check if I am just a veryvery early or verryvery late ovulator.
No activity at all.
Just bought another pkg of highly sensitive fertility tests...perhaps I will wait until I get my appointment before I waste this batch.
Blah.
--Anyone have any insight?
What could the problem be??
OH, the Doc said to me as I walked out the door "...hey!-YOu never know! You might conceive before you even see this specialist!"
I snickered at him.
It has been over two years now.What are the odds of that happening?
OR
maybe he is just insinuating I will be in for a looong wait for an appointment with this specialist!!
