So yesterday was our first doctors appointment.
It went okay, I had not been to this particular kind of doctor in a while so it was nerve racking in itself. Needless to say the added people of my husband and a nurse with the doctor and I it kind of felt like a show. Which added more to my anxiety.
It did make me feel comfortable that the doctor and my husband know each other. He delivered him. My husband has shadowed him before in his clinic and the doctor has known my mother-in-law for 27 years, the whole staff did. It kind of felt like I was in on a family reunion on his side! Quiet funny to say the least! The doctor did make the comment that I made him feel very very old because he delivered Jonathan and now we are seeing him hoping he can help us have a baby and deliver ours.
We were told that just from the normal exam I seem fine. Although it doesn't mean that I am. All it means is of course my parts seem okay to him.
I have to go back every week for the next couple of weeks. He gave us a schedule he wants us to stick to and told us things not to do.
I have a appointment this coming Thursday. Then next week they are doing tests to see if my hormones have been thrown into left field and to see if I am even ovulating. He did mention with my medical history there is a possibility that I may not even be ovulating and that my body may just think it is and that my hormones could be just completely off track.
I guess it was a good thing that my period was about 3 weeks late last month, although it did make for a emotionally rough couple of days for me. Because of when I started here recently his calculations say I should ovulate on Wednesday and he wants to see me on Thursday. The day after I should have ovulated. I do not really know what this exam is suppose to show or mean, but I do have some what of an idea.
Over all we feel good that we have a plan. Well, some sort of plan, and that we are not doing things blindly anymore and just hoping.
When we first started I tried the whole basal body temperature charting and everything that went with it. I asked him if he thought it was good that I should start that again or not to even worry. He told me no, not to do this. So with the schedule he gave us to follow we shall see what this month holds for us.
