Today I went off to my fertility specialist. My goal was twofold: to get updated scripts that had run out and save a trip to the GP, and secondly to see how that lining was doing. My expectations were positive because of the herbs, acupuncture and diet work I had been doing.
Well once again life has other plans.
As it turns out my lining is “paper thin” (even worse than it was earlier this year) and I haven’t even ovulated this month.
The good news is that it could have been caused by the Chinese herbs, according to the doc. He says he can’t make any comments until I stop taking them, so as to take that variable out of the equation. He says in his experience they really mess things up.
This is not just going back to square one, it is probably going backwards.
However, it isn’t the first time bad news has turned into good news later. The first time I went to Dr R he told me I had to have a laparoscopy and I was devastated. But it worked out for the best – it was out with the old (endometriosis & fibroids) and in with the new (Nicky).
So I guess we’ll see next month if it really is the herbs or if something is seriously wrong…
So sorry for the news! I hope you find answers and healing this month.
Thanks so much Rebekah
Such a rollercoaster! Sorry to hear!
Thanks Karen.
Thinking of you Hun.
Thanks Jo.
Ah Heath, that’s tough, but will pray that the herbs were the cause and that once you stop taking them, that things will get MUCH better. xoxoxoxo
aw thanks Cinds xx
Where you are I am too. and I hope it’s a really really short time in the waiting place for you. Chuck the eastern stuff and fully rely on God!
thanks Anne 🙂
All the best Heather, it is really such a tough walk. I really wish I had had your blog as reference when I was struggling to attain my 2nd and 3rd pregnancies.
Holding thumbs, crossing fingers….
thanks!
