I want Answers!

This morning AF started. I am so tired of seeing her face. And she comes too early. Today I am 9-10 DPO. I think maybe I had a sluggish O this month. But my luteal phase is always about 10 dpo. I mentioned this to my former gyno and my concerns about it, and she kinda blew me off and told me not to worry about it. After m/c #2 they told me they wanted to start genetic testing once I had m/c #3.

To me, this short luteal phase is a blatantly obvious problem that has nothing to do with my or DH's genetics! After m/c #1 we started hormone testing. I ended up getting my progesterone tested twice - the first time it was "too low to sustain preg." the second test I was preggo, and the numbers were good/great. My gyno was satisfied with the testing (we had the rest of the hormone testing done too - all normal). I'm not satisfied. I think I need my prog. tested more, and if my prog. is okay, then I need more testing done to determine why my LP is so short.

I am NOT waiting for another miscarriage to get started on this. I want answers!!! And I don't want my heart broken (or my dh's heart broken) again before we move forward. I am just so frustrated and hormonal and I just want to find out what's wrong with me already.

and I DON'T want a dr. who will just put me on chlomid. It's not the answer to every problem. I'm tempted to skip the local Ob altogether and go straight to the big guns - an RE. The closest one is about an hr and a half away. I'm going to talk to my MW and see what she thinks, and see if I need a referall.

New to the Blog world!

I'm not a writer, and I've never journaled, so I don't know how well this blog will turn out, but I'm ready to give it a shot!

I'm creating this blog to help me organize my thoughts and feelings about trying to conceive our first baby, fertility, natural birth, and perhaps some running info. I'm hoping this will be less about my personal thoughts and feelings and more about information I come across as I travel this journey of making a baby.
