Baby Path
Well as you may or may not know we are trying to have a baby. We've been trying for... wow almost 9 months now. I finally went to the doctor this last Tuesday (2/18) for the standard check up and stuff with my OB and was able to talk about the issues we've been having. Dr Steele (he's the best, but in SLC so it makes things difficult sometimes) said everything looked ok and wanted to do a blood test to see if/why I'm not ovulating. I got the results back yesterday... progesterone levels are on the very low end of "normal" (explaining being late but not pregnant) and also that my thyroid is high(possible reason why weight loss for me is difficult right now). I now have another appointment with him on Tuesday. Jared and I aren't sure how far we are willing to go to actually get pregnant, but know for sure we want me to be "regular" again. We know we want children and want me to be healthy. We are both hoping that whatever my doctor has a do next will be helpful. I am VERY nervous about this whole process, probably because of my biology background (it's a blessing and a curse). But I trust my doctor, and don't have to face this alone. Jared isn't able to come to these appointments really because of work (he'd have to take the day off even if we had a doctor closer by the way), but thankfully my mom is able to go to these with me. I am honestly hoping that things will work out for the best.
