BM, lots of hugs to you for today. My thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteBecause you've been TTC from home, I'm not sure how connected you are with your GP or gynae. Have you explored things like (not sure of technical term, but something like) fallopian tube cleansing? Have you had fertility testing? I know you're attracted to natural fertility enhancement (so am I) and these might be more 'interventionist' paths to explore if you're open.
(((HUGS)))
Thanks
DeleteRe the GP and gynae, no I am not connected at all. I should go and see a doctor. I will make an appointment next week. I am attracted to natural fertility enhancement, but at this stage I will consider anything! I have been googling clinics even.
The natural stuff has been good as I need my body to feel like it can cope with a pregnancy. It does now, I feel healthier and have more energy than I ever remember. I just have to get pregnant!
If you're concerned about breastfeeding interfering, it might help to have your prolactin levels checked. Apparently it needs to be under 20 for ovulation. I may do this test if I find I can't wean yet. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI think I am ovulating. I am using a fertility monitor and charting my temperature. I am getting a 2 day peak reading on the monitor and the temperature rise. That said, I am on CD 9 now and I usually have a high reading by this point but today it was still low, which is worrying me somewhat. That said, I have had more that the usual number of High days for the last 3 cycles, so it could just be the monitor adjusting to me. I have been thinking about going and getting all these levels checked though, but I read online that once you are over 40 it is hard to get support from the health service, so it may mean going private. I should make an appointment with my GP at least. Thanks for the nudge!
DeleteGP Appointment booked! Next Thursday.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you. No advice from me, seeing your dr is a good thing I'm sure. Very best of luck
ReplyDeleteNo advice from me, either, other than drawing your doctor in for some extra guidance, which you're already doing you.
ReplyDeleteSending love and hugs on this special and sad day.
