Well I finally decided that it was better to make an appointment while I am not in school yet just in case I have to do a lot of running around. I want to take as little time off as possible in order to make sure that any sick time I have goes to future maternity leave if needed. I figured it has certainly been plenty of time--that's 6 months with charting and temping and 10 months of unprotected sex. I'm 35 now so the 6 months is enough. I was going to wait until October to make the appointment but at this point I'm done. I just want to see what they have to say. MH was fighting me on it a little bit but my feeling is if they say they see nothing then I suppose we'll keep trying for another couple of months before we move on to treatment. But what if they do find something? At this point we don't have time to waste anymore. My age is a huge factor and I DON'T want to just wait around without any knowledge anymore. So we're going on Friday. We have viewed the videos on their website and sent them all our medical history and filled out all the paperwork. We're fucking going. And I'm very excited! I'm nervous--but excited. I just want to have a plan at this point.
I am doing a little better health wise, but I'm having some trouble adjusting to my meds. I was fine at 5 and 10 mgs but when I went up to 15 and now 20.....I'm having a hard time. I am not sleeping--like, waking up every half hour not sleeping. And also some other stuff. I'm hoping it will pass, but I may have to scale back. I'm going to contact my doctor. I will of course share all of this with the RE and I realize that it's not ideal for me to be going through this while trying to get pregnant but I don't even care. I know it will all get worked out soon. I've felt worse than this and I've been through worse! Again; no time to fucking waste anymore. Time to get this show on the road! MH starts his new job on August 25th, I go back to work September 2nd. I'd like to have an idea of where I stand with meds and TTC by then.
I hope your appointment on Friday goes well!!
ReplyDeleteThat's exciting news - I hope that everything goes really well tomorrow! Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! Good luck!!!
ReplyDeleteIf the med isn't working or you're having unfavorable side effects, I would really encourage you to find a new med. There are so so many options out there and settling for one that works well enough or used to work is only going to postpone actually finding one that works really well. I'm glad you're feeling better, though!
I'm so glad you're moving forward! I'm sorry the about the increase in meds giving you trouble; I hope you have find the right dosage. I can't wait to hear more!
