Got my smiley!

Got my smiley!

I got the smiley yesterday on day 13. It isn't the cause for too much excitement because I was using the OPK to track my cycle for some testing my doctors want to do concerning the miscarriage I had.

My testing is officially underway now and I should see AF again in about 2 weeks or less. After that we have the go ahead to start trying again Chat Icon I can't believe I will be trying for a baby again in a few weeks!

My doctor wants to monitor my progesterone levels for a few months so I have to use the OPK every month so I know when to go in for bloodwork. If this first cycle appears to be normal she wants to check another 2 or 3 just to be sure. The bloodwork will be donce twice a month. She has a hunch that low progesterone may be an issue for me.

If I do have low progesterone once I ovulate I will need to start the progesterone medication. If I get AF I will stop and start tracking with the OPK again until my next ovulation occurs. If I get pregnant I will have to continue with the progesterone until 12 weeks.

Is there anyone on the board doing this as well? Or has experience with this?

On top of that they are testing for antibody and clotting disorders.

I still can't believe I can try again soon. I know these last 2 weeks are going to drag. It feels like time stopped!

Wish me luck and I will be joining you all soon!Chat Icon for everyone!

Good luck!

If there was an icon for doing the cabbage patch I would put it here :::

And if there was an icon with a train going up hill to signify moving on I would put it here :::

I don't know if I have progesterone issues, I've only mc'd once (hopefully the LAST time that happens) but my levels were really low for being 4-5 weeks in.

LOL! Thank you!

I'm wondering if there is anyone else going through this? Maybe on infertility? Or pregnancy? I'll have to check things out over on those boards. I am pretty sure I remember reading about low progesterone somewhere. I will have to do some investigating.
