It could've gone a little better....
Well today was the appointment.
It went... okay.
They're gonna help me and get me tested. We're going to do some blood work to see if my thyroid is the problem, or if it's my progesterone levels. They're not concerned with doing a contrast scan for fibroids or blockages or anything because I'm definitely ovulating (since I get positive OPKs) So, they're thinking maybe my uterine lining isn't thick enough. So I'm going on FertilAid, which was something I had looked into, but wanted the doctors to check out too. I had some given to me by another LJ user and thought, what the heck, I'll give it a go!
Anyway, since using those last time I decided this time I should really ask a doctor first, since I really wanted to do this the 'old fashioned' way and have a natural birth at this birthing center. Well, unfortunately, this birthing center doesn't do VBACs. I'm totally crushed about it, but I'm trying to stay positive because I really just want to get pregnant. I'll find somewhere else that will allow me to do it and I will do it this time!
Kevin is also going to go get tested. Since it could be him, considering I'm ovulating and have a regular 28-30 day cycle every month. So, we'll see about that... and we talked some more about our other options... If there's something wrong that can't be fixed we're going to adopt a baby. We've thought about adopting older children as well, but I really want a baby at this point.
I'm just really bummed and emotional that I've been waiting, once again, over a year to get pregnant. It's so frustrating watching everyone else get pregnant at the drop of a hat. It's even more frustrating when you went to bachelorette party where two of those women had been on the 'mini-pill' and were complaining that they 'accidentally' got pregnant on it and now have itty bitty babies! Grr. Like seriously, stop complaining! I would give anything to have a second child!
The nurse that talked to me was so understanding and very helpful, I really liked her. She was very straightforward with me about my options and very open to my requests. I'll keep going there until I hopefully get pregnant, and then they'll help me find somewhere to go where I can deliver VBAC.
Sucks though, I really wanted the midwife-birth center experience. But... this is always the way it is for me. If something goes right, everything else has to go wrong.
Whatever. Probably won't get pregnant anyway. Cause that would be asking for too much at this point.
On a lighter note, DH and I can't wait for skiing to start! We are seriously ready for the snow to fly and to get out the snowboard and skiing equipment! We're even going to put DD in lessons! I hope she likes it! I would love to have a skiing buddy!
