July 30, 2012 – Checkup

I had my annual checkup with my OB/GYN today.  Doc is away at kidney camp, so it was just me.  This is the first non-emergency/routine visit I have had in a long time. My doctor said he had missed us, which made me laugh.  It does seem that it has become common place to visit my doctors! 

Everything looks good and it looks like we will be cleared to start trying again next month.  This is exciting news!  My doctor said it “is just by the perfect alignment of the stars that we are sitting here today” and he is hoping we will be having a baby this year.  I love that my doctors will be just as excited about us getting pregnant as we are.  This has been a serious journey and they have been walking it with us. We did also talk about my endometriosis.  Since my last period I have been having lower back pain, which is a common complaint with endometriosis.  My doctor said that unfortunately we haven't been able to treat it, because we are trying to get pregnant, but that being pregnant and delivering a baby usually wipe out endometriosis.  So, a whole new reason to want a baby! 

The current plan is to have one more blood test in the middle of next month, and if my HCG is still 0 then we are cleared to try again!  I am to call his office when my period starts to get the Clomid called in and then we are back to business!  While I am not sure I am really ready for all of the Clomid side effects to return, I am really excited to hear that things are getting back to normal.  Hopefully I won’t need to be on the Clomid for long before we are pregnant again, and hopefully that pregnancy will be a successful one!  Wish us luck!!
