I was really nervous, today was the day I would bear it all to my fertility specialist. I consolled myself that "If you have seen one you have seen them all" and this is all he does day in and day out. I still couldn't help feeling embarressed.
I stripped off and he came in. OK as expected your blood tests came back as clear as a bell, your Progesterone isn't great but it isn't terrible but all in all in a pleased. OK now for the scan.
Have you ever had a Transvaginal Scan before? "Yes once" I replied. OK well I will explain it again to you as he did it. There is a screen above your head so you can see everything.
He said "Your Uterus is retroverted but that isn't a big deal it just means it is tipped to the back instead of the front and it is very common. Your uterus looks great now for your follicles" as he moved the probe around and then to a different spot and then anothet different spot. "Hmmmm" he said "Is your husband around at the moment?". "Yes"I stammered nervously. "OK, you need to go home and consumate your marriage tonight as you have just ovulated." As he showed me on the screen. "I can not find either of your ovary's so you need to consumate your marriage and hopefully you will be pregnant when I see you next".
"THANKYOU DR!" That is the best news I have heard in such a long time.
I raced out of the appointment and told Mark who was playing in the park across the road with Harry our son. "OK let's go home he joked".
Dr's orders were followed that night and i felt really overwhelmed at the prospect of having another child.
The 2WW felt like forever and my Natropath who I was still seeing said she felt that I was pregnant we were elated.
By this time a month had passed from our inital consultation and Mark had his Analysis retest done and his blood screening. (That Semen Analysis should be a whole other story in it's own right...lets just say that it would be easier drawing blood from a stone. Poor thing has a terrible time with the tests).
Anyway, I had been temping since June all through my cycles, on Day 27 when I awoke and took my temperture and it had plummeted I knew that our chances were over..
I rang Mark in tears and said, "I am not pregnant my love", "Ohhh no" he said sadly "is your period here?" "No, but it will be my temps are really down and I have cramps" I said.
"OK honey I am so sorry, I love you." He said. "I love you too" I sobbed down the phone to him.
"It will all be OK, we are back at the Dr's in three days time so he will tell us what is going on".
