So, I haven´t been posting lately…Actually there´s not much to report on this side….Still not TTC since I´m currently going through some labs and ultrasounds, since it seems that I MIGHT have a small kidney stone…. I actually have NO pain at all…But some labs showed some cristals which may indicate I have one… Soo, obviously TTC is out of the question until we figure this out….I don´t know, maybe it´s a sign that I should wait a little longer….dont know…I think I´m ovulating as we speak, and it´s very frustrating to know that, and not being able to try this month…..Anyways I´ll find out my results on Monday, hopefully it will be nothing, and I´ll be able to try next month, and if there is something I hope it´s small and it only requires me taking some pills….Here´s hoping…

Hello World…. July 10, 2008

Well no news on this side….. Yesterday I went to my follow-up visit with my OB, he told me everything looked fine, and he suggested one more month to start TTC….I know every doctor is different..I´ve been reading several webpages, and most of them say to just wait for one AF…Anyways, I´ve had one already, so I guess I´ll wait for a second one, and that will be almost 3 months since my mc….I guess I´m a little bit scared of trying again, but of course me having a baby is bigger than any fear I may have…I´ve talked to my husband, and he usually doesn´t like the pressure of timing sex, so we agreed that we would try for 3 months trying to be as relaxed as we can…Hope I can!!!

I´m really not so scared of getting pregnant, maybe it is because it was easy for me the first time, I Hope it will be easy this time around….Ít´s just that I have several friends who at the moment are having troubles getting pregnant, and it makes me wonder if it will be easy for me this time..One has Endometriosis, the other one has high levels of prolactin (even though she´s never been pregnant) she´s now taking medication to lower those levels, but has been trying for 10 months now—-Also, I have this really close friend of mine…She´s 4 days late, has really sore boobs, took a home pregnancy test and it´s negative, but 8 days before she got her period se had some bloodwork to find out her progesterone levels, and it turned out to be 151!!!! I´ve read that is incredibly high, usually for women on their 3rd trimester….Has anyone here heard about something like this??? anyways she was told to wait for one more week and have another pregnancy test done…I still don´t know why her OB wouldn´t ask for a HCG test, since those ones are pretty acurate….

So, as I love countdowns, as of today, I´m 31 days away of TTC again….I´ll keep you posted!!!

So, not much has happened lately….mostly going to work, trying to relax, spending time with friends and my husband….It seems like time is flying by…. Also I´ve been paying attention to my cycles…it´s funny how I´ve been having menstrual cycles for 16 years now, and just until now I´ve started to notice all those changes, and symptoms, and cm, etc etc….I´ve been temping for a year now, so I´m pretty sure I ovulated my first cycle after the mc….It somehow makes me feel good that everything is going back to normal…Still waiting for my follow up visit with my OB next Tuesday!! hope everything is where it should be!!  Anyways, hope everyone is having a great week, and for everyone who´s going or has gone through a miscarriage, I just want to say, that it does get better as days go by….It´s just a matter of letting time heal our wounds…and having new dreams, and things to look forward too…
