Some Answers

I want to start off by thanking all my readers. This blog would not have been a success without the love and support of you all. Thanks for not only following along these last few years, but giving me reason to keep it going. Thanks for listening to me ramble on about my life.

Well, last week was one of my many visits I have had to the reproductive endocrinologist. I never thought that when this journey started to have a second child it would be so hard. I figured that it would be easier then with Reagan. I’m not spending months crying like before, but I do feel frustrated. I was told that after you have been pregnant once before that it’s suppose to be easier to get pregnant again, but this has proven to be wrong for me. I have felt frustrated that it has felt like I have been dealing with a battle that is going in no direction. When I was trying to get pregnant with Reagan we kept it pretty secretive. We didn’t tell people because we weren’t sure that it would ever happen. This time I’m not being secretive because it helps me a bit to share what is going on with us. A lot of people might not care, but I might be able to help one person that is going through the same thing.

When we lived in England I was told that I have PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome) and one ovary. Hey guess what I come back to American and I see my current doctor and he tells me that I don’t have PCOS, or one ovary. I should have known better because this is also the same doctor that kept telling me that things were fine when I was pregnant, but they weren’t. If you didn’t read, I was induced with Reagan because I only had 1oz of amniotic fluid. So, needless to say my doctor in England probably should have his license revoked.

I have been seeing my current doctor, who is extremely nice, but SUPER hard to understand. He has the Spanish accent that is so thick and strong that I feel like I’m taking a Spanish lesson half the time. I do have to say that I’m so lucky that he is very thorough and patient. I have the worst patience, and any doctor having to deal with me isn’t lucky.

Well, after I had the most painful biopsy of my life. Let’s just say that I actually left thinking that giving birth was easier then the pain of my biopsy and afterwards feeling. I then got the results from the biopsy 4 days before Christmas. .It was probably the best Christmas gift I could have asked for this year. I finally know what is wrong with me, and why we’re not getting pregnant. I have a progesterone deficiency. It was very strange to hear my doctor say this because I had already had a TON of blood work, and it came back fine. I guess my progesterone level is so low, that I’m not ovulating at all. I get to see the doctor again on the 3rd to discuss fixing this problem and how were going to induce ovulation. Jake is a little scared that were going to have sextuplets. I guess stay tuned to what I find out on Tuesday! I think that maybe 2012 will bring another addition to the Evans home.
