Now that the hip is finally fixed, its time to start thinking about the next chapter in our lives. Parenthood. We've been putting it off for years because of one thing or another and now its time to put our future family first.
A few weeks ago I went to my new OB Dr.V for a pre-conception work up and physical. (This is where some TMI stuff comes out... consider this fair warning). I have been having some abnormal bleeding so she decided to do an endometrial biopsy right away. OUCH! Absolutely positively NO fun! Also ordered a plethora of blood work tests.
This week I got my results. I have no hormone issues, no thyroid issues, no diabetes. I do however have some insulin resistance. We decided to start me on metformin to help with the insulin which will then help to increase my hormones even more. Also I started taking progesterone to help get my uterus on board with conception. The biopsy showed that I have endometrial hyperplasia which basically means I have a thick lining that is not conducive to maintaining a pregnancy. :-( So we are hoping the the progesterone for three months will do the trick. She is hoping the metformin/progesterone cocktail will put my hormones and uterus in a better conception state and make it easier for TTC in the fall. We have already discussed adding clomid to the mix come September.
I am just so ready to be a mommy and for Hoai to be a daddy. I get all giddy inside thinking about it. But these small hurdles are going to be so worth it one day. In the meantime I will continue to work on losing some weight to make my body healthier for Little Nguyen. I've started swimming. So hopefully that will help in addition to eating better. Eyes on the prize. Eyes on the teeny tiny ever so precious miracle of a prize.
