Fertile Thoughts: Thank you girls!

Thank you girls!

Thank you girls for all of your sweet comments!!! I have to go in again on Monday and get my progesterone levels drawn since PPVI says they want to test them and not have my lab here test them. So I just have to go without prometrium for one night then have the bood draw and then I can start progesterone again. I can't wait to get this all straightend out. Otherwise I am just having some mild period type cramping and I have been taking everything I am suppose too. I also stopped by my acupuncturist office and he gave me something for cramping which i have noticed that they're not so intense since I started taking the herbs.
Also, it is nice that Dr. H.ilgers is taking a more aggressive approach this time around. he wants me to stay on the hydrocortizine (which I wasn't on last pregnancy and he thought that might have been the reason I miscarried) and also i am suppose to start an antibiotic, Zenthromicin (sp?) on P+ 25 and stay on it for 25 days I believe since he said I have had an infection in the past. At this point I am willing to try to do anything to sustain this pregnancy. I am going to continue the acupunture throught the first trimester, yeah...just because I really think that might have had something to do with me conceiving.
I have to run now...believe it or not I had to go over to work to finish the churh bulletins even though we just had a huge snow storm, crazy!!!!

Praying for you all!!!

Yep, I had cramping too, for quite a few weeks.

Be careful driving in that mess!

Amber, congratulations! I am so happy for you!
What a wonderful Christmas gift! Thinking of you and praying for a happy and successful pregnancy!

Questions:

1) What medications have you been on? Are you taking any special vitamins or herbs?

2) Where did you find out about the endo diet? From a book?

3) Is your twin sister married? Does she have endo too? Just wondering!

Again, congratulations!

Love,
Maria

Also, I drank the DOG out of soy milk and ate tons of tofu in the first trimester.

Soy helps with progesterone production.

I think it's fantastic Dr H is implementing Dr T(oth)'s infection-treatment pretty much to a T. It makes me feel better to know someone I so highly respect like Dr H puts merit into a Dr I spent so much $$ on, haha ;) But also, I think DT is a brilliant Dr when it comes to infection, so the Azithromycin will most assuredly get you a HEALTHY baby :)

I'm on cloud 9 for you, sweetie!! Do you plan on telling family on Christmas??

SO glad they're taking a conservative approach with you. Much as it gets under my skin when doctors take a shoot-from-the-hip approach to conceiving in the first place, it drives me to madness if they do so with regard to the safety of an existing pregnancy. Praying for a healthy pregnancy and baby!
