My letter came today!!!

MY LETTER FROM DR. H CAME TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!
Sorry for screaming, but I am so excited!!! I've been asking DH every day for the past two weeks if there was an envelope from PPVI waiting for me. This is what Dr. H said:
"You are experiencing functionally abnormal cycles and have had one miscarriage." (remember, only the MD trained in the Creighton method has ever referred to my chemical pregnancy as a true pregnancy, therefore a real miscarriage)

Per my CrMS charts: "It reveals dry cycles and variable length post-Peak phases. These findings are often associated with hormonal dysfunction, ovulation defects, and/or endometriosis."
He recommends: thorough hormone evaluation of menstrual cycle without medications, a thyroid system dysfunction panel, an ultrasound series to determine whether there is an ovulation-related defect, and a diagnostic laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, and selective HSG, endometrial cultures.
He also said his schedule is out three to four months for him to do the lap, but I could get in sooner if I saw his partner Dr. K. Sooooo, now I just need to call PPVI tomorrow!

Because we are going to Mexico the middle of February, I wouldn't want to to get in for surgery sooner then that.  I will hopefully have a better idea of the timeframe for each doctor's schedule when I call tomorrow!

I'm back.

Sorry for not posting an update lately, I've really just not felt like writing about anything!  Things are better from when I last posted.  DH got a job with a new company (his old company's big competition).  He is actually back in Wisconsin meeting with one of the owners this weekend and also visiting his mom.  Money will still be tight until the new year when he actually starts getting paid "for real".  It's been hard for me to just trust that everything will work out (even though it always has!). 

As for my cycle, absolutely nothing new going on there!  I get O pains/cramping for a few days every month, but no cervical fluid to match, so I'm not sure if I am actually ovulating or not.  I'm still waiting for a response from Dr. H.  It would be nice to know what he recommends so I can start planning 2010!  I'm guessing I wouldn't be able to get in to see him or his associate for at least two to three months, if not longer.  Since we are going to Mexico the middle of February with MIL and two of DH's sisters, I wouldn't want to go until after that anyways!  I'm also hoping that I get to go with the MD that I work with to Honduras in March.  He started a surgery center at an orphanage there and goes down four or five times a year.  I still haven't been there and have worked for him for five years!

We are going up to my parents for Christmas...looking forward to that, except for the nine hour drive!  Yuck!  We were going to take the train, but I didn't book the tickets early enough and the price went way up.  New Year's weekend we might go up to the cabin or just hang out at home. 

Hope everyone has a great week!!
