Doctor Called

I really like her. I have to say, after my first miscarriage, I thought she was a bit "cold." Perhaps I was just overly sensitive at the time, but I really think now that she's had a baby of her own, she has really turned into a much more caring and personable doctor. She happily answered all of my questions and we set up a game plan.

I am going on Monday for another blood draw. She would like to see my numbers coming down. I am spotting/bleeding now. It has definitely not gotten heavy yet (even though this morning I thought for sure it was here....) and I haven't had any cramping yet either. So I imagine if my numbers don't come back less, she will want to do something to help the miscarriage along. I just hope it happens over the weekend on its own.

Then, a week from Monday (the 17th) I have an appointment with her to discuss our plan of action. I'm going to present her with my charts (both online and hard copy) and our phone discussion consisted of discussing Clomid and progesterone.

She said we can begin TTC again after my first normal period. This current bleeding does not count as a period. So it'll be over a month before we are TTC again. I'm okay with that because honestly it'll take me a little time to be emotionally ready again. Right now I'm crying unexpectedly. I think it's because the miscarriage is looming ahead of me and I'd just like it to be DONE and behind me. You know?

So I believe the plan will be Clomid & progesterone. I also want to start taking Vitamin B6 as an additional supplement to the pre-natals I'm already taking. B6 can help lengthen luteal phase. I actually feel an ounce of hope for this coming medicated cycle. I feel like it really could be the answer to the recurrent early miscarriages. I feel really thankful that modern medicine has allowed for this issue to be corrected... what a blessing.

Not much else to say other than I'll update as updates come. Please continue to pray for us that this miscarriage hurries up & passes without too much additional heartache and stress! I appreciate it greatly.
