Our Journey Through Infertility.....

Doctor's appointment

Today I went to the fertility specialist/endocrinologist on post for my first visit. I was diagnosed at age 5 with an endocrine disorder that has played with my hormones since that age. My period is very unpredictable without the help of birth control pills. I went off everything in May and was put on prednisone to help with ovulation. That didn't work, but I had to get off of it for my surgery. So then I decided I'm just going to go by faith and not go on anything. I had been on clomid in 2007 but that didn't work at all and I had horrible side effects from it. So 7 months later and still no period, the gyn in Italy put me back on the pill until I saw the specialist when we moved.

I was quite shocked when I was able to get an appointment so quickly. He is a great doctor and is ready to help us get pregnant. Today I did blood work that needed to be done anyway. I also will be having a sonogram or ultrasound done in the next 2 weeks to see what's going on. So hopefully by mid-January we will have some kind of plan of action.

Keep us in your prayers as we go through this next journey. I'm trusting that God will provide the answers and will guide the doctor.

Until next time....
