So many updates and I find that I am in need of a place to vent and process and just get out my feelings. Luckily I have the blog. I haven't utilized it as much as I should have and I know it.
We transfered to a Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE) and with that we had a lot of testing done. It was overwhelming to be getting so much information so quickly. It is all good info and for a good cause but just so much.
We did an Ovarian Reserve test, which told us what we already assumed, that I have very few eggs left. My reserve is poor. Because I started menstruating at such an early age, 10-11, I have been producing eggs for 20+ years and I just don't have that many left. Which is a concern.
We also discussed my pervious diagnosis of Menorrhagia, excessively heavy bleeding during menstruation, and my Dysmenorrhea, menstrual pain that is excessive and interferes with daily activity, diagnosis. How that affects how I feel.
I don't ovulate on my own. I need stimulants to ovualate. I have to take high doses of the meds to make them work and with that I have to deal with the side affects. Nausea, head aches, mood swings and exhaustion, just to ovulate.
My heart hurts about this. We want to to just pregnant already. It has been 22 months and it is just heartbreaking to have everyone around me getting pregnant and having babies and I am still just praying to get pregnant. It will happen. It will.
