CD10 of Cycle 10 - Some Good News....

I’m feeling in a bit of a better mood today, and feeling slightly ashamed of being so self-pitying yesterday. Ah well, we all deserve a bit of a whinge now and then!

I actually had some good news today. I had CD3 blood tests done last week, which was to check FSH, TSH, ESR, glucose and full blood count. The week before, I had an ultrasound scan to check my ovaries, womb and “surrounding structures”. I was just going to assume that if I didn’t hear anything then all was okay. But my mind got the better of me, “what if they have written to me and it’s gotten lost in the post...”

 So I made a quick call to the surgery this afternoon. The receptionist could see my blood test results and said they were all “normal” – yay! She said she couldn’t delve into the report from the radiologist but that the Doctor had noted to file it, which she said meant that it was also “fine” – double yay!

On the one hand it’s good that nothing abnormal has cropped up. But on the other hand it means I am feeling frustrated because if nothing’s wrong, then why aren’t I pregnant?! I know, I know, I just need to be patient. To be fair, the Doctor did say that we should keep trying until after Christmas as we will have been trying for a year by then and he reckoned we would get pregnant by then. He told me to go back to see him in October, just for my reassurance I guess as there is nothing else that can be done as such an early stage. I think he was concerned that I was getting stressed out by the whole TTC journey so just wants to see me next month to make sure I am still sane haha!

Oh yeah, I am still taking the “relaxed” approach this month, however being aware that I am probably going to ovulate in the next 2-3 days means I am getting tempted to do an OPK or check my temperature... Must... Resist......
