It's only been one cycle of normalcy since the miscarriage but for some reason, I really thought this was it! Well, my lovely Aunt Flo had a different opinion late yesterday afternoon. Damn her.
After detecting ovulation on cycle day 16, I really thought this was going to be it. My body is getting back on track and I ovulated on my own so I was feeling really good. I went in the day after ovulation to have blood taken to check my progesterone. I found out today that my progesterone was only a little over 7. When on Clomid, it really should be at least 15. Bummer. Not good at all. So I of course asked if that meant I was actually ovulating and my doctor told me my ovaries were TRYING to. Only trying?? Ugh, I really thought I had ovulated. But, apparently my thyroid levels have not been good lately and they are keeping track of that. It seems that a lot of this has to do with my thyroid levels being elevated. They are trying to get my tsh down to a 2.5. It was up above 6 in late November and down to 4.6 earlier this month. So right now we are playing around with doses of my thyroid medicine to hopefully get it where it needs to be. I'm just thankful that THIS doctor actually checks that for me and keeps a close watch on it. Also I'm thankful for a normal, 29-day cycle!
So I'm a little bummed and just feeling kind of down because this month didn't go exactly as I thought it would. I wanted a Halloween baby so they could have a close birthday with Ethan. Now we are praying for a Thanksgiving baby. I'm going to just try and not stress (yeah, right!) and just enjoy my family that I have. Looking forward to a much-needed trip to see my parents this weekend so I'm going to concentrate on that and just take it one day at a time. If I don't, I might drive myself crazy!
