I am feeling really good and I think that we will have it figured out in a few months. I'm really excited! I have to wait about a month before I can get my blood drawn to check my levels (you have to get it done on a certain day in you cycle). It will be okay, I'm getting pretty good at this waiting game. It been a pretty long road, but I think things have happened in the right timing, even though its been frustrating. I, of course, don't want to wait forever, but I really feel like we are going in a good direction!

Burden Lifted
Whew! So glad to get my doctors appointment over with. It went good! I still got nervous and sick and shaky, but it wasn't too bad. Not as intense as it has been before, anyway. My doctor was a really nice older man, and he was very kind so it put me more at ease. Anyway, so here is what I am going to do. I'm going to go off my progesterone and then get tested(blood drawn) in my next cycle to check my levels and see if I am ovulating (I'm not sure if I always do). Also getting Seth a semen analysis done and sent to my doctor next week (here's hoping they've learned how to swim). If my progesterone is still low than I will try a different type. I am actually quite curious to see how my body does by itself. I've been on progesterone for almost 2 years now, and its been a while since I've checked it, so I'm hoping my body has adjusted enough so that I won't have to take it again, but we will see. I'm willing to try it at least. I've waited so long that a few more months of figuring things out is not really going to bother me. So if things are good with both of us, the doctor didn't think that it would be too hard to get pregnant. If it doesn't look like I'm ovulating than he said I could go on a fertility med like Clomid (basically tricks you body into ovulating) if we felt ok about that. If after a little while it doesn't work, then he said I will have more tests done, an ultrasound and such.
