I had my infertility consult with Dr. K from the aalfa clinic here in MN. She was 45 minutes behind, very annoying, but I work for an ortho surgeon so understand. She spent 45 minutes going over my history with me. Since I just got AF late last night, we put off the physical exam. Basically, we are starting at square one. I will do Creighton charting for two cycles and then get the b/w done. Once the b/w is done, I will do a follow up with her and go from there. She said I could start to get on the waiting list to see Dr. Hilgers once the two cycles of charting are done since it takes a long time to get in to see him. So I didn't really learn anything new, but am excited to see where this new road takes us!
She also truly acknowledged the chemical pregnancy that I had 2-3 months into TTC as a life that was lost, which nobody else has really done, so that was nice. She also brought up PCOS (even though I'm thin) without me saying it first, but of course nothing for sure until I get the charting and lab work done.
So, today is a new day, a new road, a new journey!

So glad for a new journey. It sounds like you really have a lot of great new things going on that are bringing you some hope!
What a kind and caring doctor to recognize your loss just as it is - a true and heartbreaking loss. Hugs.
Thanks for the info. (-;
Glad you are on a new road, hopefully one that will lead to answers:)
I have working with Dr. Mattingly in Cincinnati with Creighton and NaPro for almost 18 months and I have found charting cm only a whole lot easier. I have PCOS as well and have been on Femera for the past 6 months. Good Luck to you!
It looks like this is basically the same thing as in TCOYF?
No, the biggest difference I think is that you don't take your temperature...it's all based on your CM, which is checked several times throughout the day.
