Forays in Conception

With my OB-GYN.

It’s been a while.  Hello.  If you’re wondering, which you’re probably not but I’ll tell you anyway — still no aunt flow.  She’s decided that she doesn’t like visiting her crotchety niece, so she decided to take a long vacation away.

There were times when I felt like she might be coming – cramping, tender boobs. You know, all that jazz. But no…

She’s been away since January.

So what does that make it?  About Cycle Day 117.  Awesomesauce.

I’ve become so frustrated that I stopped temping.  What’s the point?    In fact, we’ve pretty much stopped trying.  No auntie = no preggy.

I was really mad at my body before.  I guess I still am, but now I”m more resigned to it all.  In fact, it’s almost like I don’t want kids anymore.  I’m sure that deep down I really do… but it feels almost like a coping mechanism to keep me from getting so wound up.

Alright alright – let’s get back to the OB!

First visit Foray. Hah.

In all honesty, she really didn’t do much.  Asked a whole bunch of questions (I’m healthy), did some poking and prodding (everything feels and looks fine… without doing more invasive tests, that is), drew blood (my Prolactin and Thyroid are in ship shape), and then said I should go see a Reproductive Endocrinologist.

Oh – and she slapped my first TTC a label on me:  ”Unexplained Female Infertility”

Super-dooper.

I go back in a few weeks for a follow up.  Hopefully she’ll give me something to get my period back!

In the mean time… I’m not sure I’m ready to get in touch with an RE.    I don’t want to do shots (of hormones with a sharp icky needle.  I’ll take a shot of something tasty and feel-good instead any day…).
