Well I realized I hadn't posted in a while so wallah! I went to my first appt at the fertility clinic for child #2 and it went surprising the same as it did for #1. Like the same questions, answers, procedures, which is funny just more expensive this go around!! Because I had already done alot of the tests for child #1 I am able to bypass though which is good...
So after that I got my records sent done from DC, started on bloodwork for #2, and just have more bloodwork I need do at another point in time along w/an ultrasound to make sure everything is still working well "down there." I have to say they are extremely thorough and if you ever had a question about your health previous to having a child I would work with a fertility clinic b/c they take some of the risk away b/c you are just tested for so much!!
So when I had my initial bloodwork done I came back with a low thyroid number basically I was .001 off the lower end of the scale, so they had me retake it and everything was fine- I was smack dab in the middle of the scale this time so crisis averted!
One of the reasons I want to have #2 now is really as you get older there are just so many chances for things to happen its really crazy, so the sooner the better!
So basically I need to make sure all my records get to the right place which will be my job for this month b/c alot of people have off for the holidays and its generally hard to get records sent anyways :)
Then next months goal is to have more bloodwork and the ultrasound, and G-d willing in Feb... well who knows ;) I am really being smarter this time and not just rushing with trying to get pregnant. As much as I want to do it now, its going to cost me almost twice as much each time and I don't have the luxury of wasting it. So I have to give myself the best shot I have when trying to get pregnant.
I took some time off w/my prenatal vitamins but am back doing so, and am charting my temps in the morning to help refigure out ovulation. Sooo I am kinda in a countdown again :) So woohooo :D
