So I had decided I was going to wait til tomorrow to call OB to ask about LPD, because then maybe they'd test my hcg too just to give me peace of mind. (I mean honestly, I am 99.9% sure I'm not pregnant and AF is right around the corner although it seems this corner could be another week *rolls eyes* BUT there is still that.01% that says what if?)
My discussion with receptionist...
Me "I'm 2 days late. Which I realize I could have ovulated 2 days late because I temp, and chart was kind of ify. But that's not really my concern for calling. I've noticed on my charting that I have been starting spotting 9 or 10 days past ovulation. About 4 or 5 days before I start my period. With my current cycle I've been spotting for 6 days now, and still nothing. So my question for Dr. Hawkins is, do you think I could possible get my progesterone tested to see if I have a Luteal Phase Defect?"
Receptionist "I really doubt Dr. Hawkins will agree to that, but can I get you #? Because I'm sure they are going to have questions."
Here enter my phone #, DOB, first and last name. And end with the receptionist.
Receptionist, "In case they do call it into the lab...if you haven't heard from us around 130 call the lab to see if you have an order there. But I fully suspect they will be calling you in 30-45 minutes."
Bring on the waiting...20 minutes have passed and another 10-25 to go. I want to vacuum but don't want to miss hearing the phone. I want to make breakfast, but don't want to be in the middle of it when the call. I will update as soon as I hear back from them.
What made me decide to call today? No spotting. NONE even checking cervix, it's closed, not open. And instead of being low like it was yesterday, it's so high I almost couldn't touch it. And it's super soft...not firm like it should be when AF is on it's way. What does this all mean? If you don't know...your cervix changes position during different phases of your cycle. When you are fertile it is SHOW, Soft High Open and Wet. When AF is about to show you should be FLCD Firm, Low, Closed, and Dry. For most women, some point in pregnancy cervix becomes SHCW Soft High Closed and Wet. Which matches up with me at the moment. So what the heck? Still crampy, still not spotting today, still a BFN.
I think I'm going to exercise later today to try to get AF to make her lovely entrance. We've tried sex (I swear it works sometimes...) but nothing. Had a little bit more spotting, but after a day it went back to brown and stopped. I did look at when I had chemical pregnancy though and I didn't get a faint positive until I was 2 days late for my period.
Still waiting for the phone to ring...blah! If knowledge is power than how come Drs (or Nurses, or Receptionists) act like you are retarded for asking questions or knowing your own body?
***Update*** 48 minutes and still no stinking phone call! So impatient!
Often things strike my heart and want to come bursting forth. They come spilling out onto the page, or computer screen. With ink filling pages or my fingers flying across the keyboard, my mind going a million miles a minute, and my heart crying out to be heard. Here is where you’ll find those things, my little notes on life.
Little Bit About Me
- Jess
- First and foremost, I am a Christian woman: I love Jesus! In this blog you will find stories of trying to conceive with PCOS, MTHFR, Poor egg quality, a unicornuate uteterus, and too many babies in heaven. It is a good thing God is the ultimate healer! Here you will find praise! and you may also find venting (I'm not perfect...) and you will find other stories of my crazy life. All the while through this journey I am holding on to scripture & hoping to one day be a mother here on Earth (waiting on God & His perfect timing...why am I so impatient?) But in the meantime, here you will find me: Jessica, loving wife, hopeful heart of a mother, and faithful friend.
CAUTION
All writing in this blog is unedited and 100% from what I am feeling at the time. By continuing to read it means that you will take my vents with a grain of salt. You will choose to not take offense. And most of all, if you know me in real life you will either choose to stop reading or keep the knowledge of this blog quiet, and privately allow me to know you are reading. I only share this information with close friends. I do not share this with facebook for a purpose: it is meant to be semi-private. Not "public" knowledge in the sense of the majority of those in real life knowing about it. If you can accept all that has been stated, sit back, grab a box of tissues, and be prepared to endure the rocky road of trying to conceive while trying to get out of the shadows of infertility.
