Doctor's Appointment

Today I went in for my yearly appointment with Dr. Leinenbach. I told her about my cycles being all messed up and she thought it could have something to do with my thyroid. She did a blood test to check and make sure everything is all right and I should get the results in a couple of weeks. She suggested that we try using an ovulation predictor kit to find out when I'm ovulating. I guess we will try that this month and see how that works. I guess we will start trying again in about a week.

Finally Started

Well I finally started my period today. I can't believe I was two weeks late. I have never been that late before. At least now we can start trying again soon and we know for sure that I'm not pregnant yet. I guess we will start trying again in a week. Hopefully it will happen this month.

A Blood Test, Another Negative, & Still No Change

I still have not started my period and I told myself that if I didn't start by this morning then I was going to call my doctor. That is exactly what I did. I called Dr. Leinenbach's office and told them the rundown of my last four periods and how Jason and I had started trying that I would be two weeks late starting tomorrow but that all the pregnancy tests I had taken came back negative (I left out the fact that I had taken five. I told them a few and left it at that.). They suggested that I come in for a blood test and told me that sometimes it just doesn't show up on the home pregnancy tests. I went in as soon as I got of work at 1:00 p.m. and They told me that they would have the results for me on Monday. I called my sister-in-law Jamie to give her the latest update on everything. She really didn't know what to think and suggested that maybe I should take another test. She was down the road at a friends house, so I told her to come on over with the kids and I would take another one. Guess what that one came back negative also. I have now taken six tests and they have all been VERY negative. Jamie was my witness today also. She said it was definitely negative. I still haven't started my period so the only other thing I can do is wait till Monday and see what the doctor has to say. I don't have any more tests left to take either so I definitely won't be taking anymore of those until the next month if I'm not pregnant this month. I am starting to worry that something is wrong with me so I set up an appointment for a regular exam for June 15. That way if I'm not pregnant I can talk to my doctor a little more and maybe she could run some test or know of something I could do to get my cycles more regular. Alisann is getting ready to start trying again next week and if she doesn't get pregnant this month then she's going to talk to her doctor also. She goes to Dr. Brown who is in the same office as my doctor. Can you tell we are both very impatient people. We are ready to get pregnant and we want to be pregnant now. Well I guess I will post back on Monday with the results of the blood test unless I start my period before then.

So Frusterated

Okay so this morning I took another test. this makes five tests now and they all have been negative and I still haven't started. If I don't start by Friday I think I'm going to give my Doctor a call. My sister Alisann started her period on Friday and is almost finished with hers. I wish my body would get on schedule so we could hurry up and get pregnant. My Mom and I started walking yesterday which is really good. We did this when I was pregnant with Christian and I loved it so much. It gives me more energy and I feel so much better about myself not to mention I love getting to spend that quality time with my Mom. We take turns pushing Christian in the stroller and he eats his breakfast. He loves just as much as we do. Well hopefully I start soon because obviously I'm not pregnant. Surely five test can't all be wrong!
