Warning rant to follow....
How freaking hard is it to do what right by your kids? I mean really they have been in gymnastics and horseback riding for several years. Christ she owns a horse. An animal that must be ridden and frequently. But at every turn it's does she have to ride today? does he really need to go to gym? Is it that hard to get them there? I doubt it's the 10 yr old girl complaining about riding a horse. A horse that is the reason she gets out of bed each day. Or the boy who when sick with a fever and vomiting cries that he will miss gym just decides today is a good day to not go. But really I am supposed to let him have the kids for a week when he comes to town every other month. How is giving up the things they hold dear and have worked so hard for best for the kids. I swear he is a shit father.

Sorry you have to deal with him/that, Mail. That surely is stress that you don't need (or the kids).
Nurse finally called back. Numbers are at 15, 386 so looking good so far! Said my 52.9 progesterone level was so good first draw that they aren't worried about that--at least that's one thing not to worry about. Nurse said to cancel u/s appointment for Friday cuz doc can't do that one anymore. Said to call fetal scan department and schedule one for today or tomorrow-preferably. Called and the registration lady is having a hard time getting the supervisor to schedule one since I'm not 6 weeks yet. She is saying that they wouldn't see anything, so she can't schedule it. I'm like, "the doctor isn't trying to see a hb, he wants a visualization of the pregnancy. He is trying to verify placement of the pregnancy.". Urgh!! So, now I'm waiting on supervisor to call back with an appointment. I'm tempted to just call nurse back and sic her on them.
Whatever!!

I do. I wound up riding over to the barn where she boards her horse and takes lessons.mi had to pay them for this month anyway. She was at her lesson. Her grandma took her. Never fails. He does nothing for the kids. I try to remain calm and know karma is a bitch. It will bite him in the end.

Well, I got a call from my Dr saying that most of my blood work came back normal. My total cholesterol is high (240 I think) but my good cholesterol is high too, so I don't need to be on less for that. My vit d is low (22 and should be over 30) so he told me to take a supplement in the winter. Other than that everything is normal. I am getting copies of the blood work to have so I am going to double check to see if maybe anything is borderline high/low, but I don't know what to do from here.
he will end up lonely, sad and alone. he will regret it someday when he realizes he missed his kids growing up. he may not pay for it now, but he surely will later. he's the one missing out.
oh my gosh, i have high cholesterol too! it's always above 200. but it's my triglycerides that are high, the other numbers really good. they always tell me it's not a worry. my mom had low vit d and was able to be in normal range within 2 months of taking supplements. i thought for sure tests would come back underactive thyroid! did you tell dr about your weight loss and other symptoms? how bout getting in with your OB? if the progesterone isn't helping with your LP, there must be another step they can take. i hope you get this sorted out hun. praying for you.

Thanks, I told him all of my symptoms and he was not concerned since the blood test came back normal. I am going to get copies of the test tomorrow (hopefully), so i will know what my exact numbers are. I just talked to my mom and her vitamin d was low, I think only like 6, and they she has got her level up to 20 or so. It kind of worries me that my vit d was probably lower at one point, because the prenatal I take everyday already has 400 iu of vit d, so now I am supposed to take 1000 iu daily. I really don't think vit d has anything to do with my current fertility issues, but maybe a vit supplement will help me not feel tired all the time.
yes, it very well could be the low vit d making you tired. my dr told me that when you live in a climate (like MN) without a lot of sunlight you have to take a separate vit d supplement. i take 1000mg a day, plus my prenatal. from what my dr said, that sounds like the right amount to take. my mom actually took 4000mg a day, but she was so low that her bones were soft. (they found out when she had bunion surgery) who knows, it could just be that, that's messing with your hormones.

Twinkie... I am sorry you didn't get the answers you were looking for. Glad you are well though. You and Moter both need to get on that cholesterol though. That stuffs a killer. Cheerios. Oatmeal. Both are good for helping with cholesterol. I would definitely see your on and talk about lp. And don't take no for an answer.

Well I live farther south than you, but I work long days and I don't get any sunlight in the winter. I leave for work at 5:30am and leave to come home at 3:45, which the sun is already low in the horizon by then!
Twinkie - yep that will do it! The supplement will build up vit d back up.
Mail- I weight 115 lbs, work out 6 days a week and eat healthy. I am a fitness and health nut! Unfortunatly for me, there is nothing I can do differently. It runs in my family. Both parents, who are very healthy, active and fit have to take pills to regulate their cholesterol. I'm sure i am in for the same fate.

Hey Ladies
Fetal scan nurse called back. Couldn't do u/s until late next week. Ob nurse is pissed. She made an appt for me to just see my doctor tmrw morning and see what he says. She said he might call himself tmrw if he sees something in my pelvic exam. Guess we'll see. Otherwise, I'll have the u/s next week.
Me n B (my hubby) are switching hospitals and therefore doctors anyway, so I need to get on finding a new doc anyway.
Sorry about test results Twinkie. I had low vit d too. It's pretty common n easily fixed.
Mail, you're such a great mom. Good things are continuing for ya girl!
Glad things are going well, Berdc!
Way to be calm, Colta n Moter. Everything will happen at the right time. Once we realize/remember that we arent in total control, things seem to right themselves.
Night ladies--über tired! and gassy. and bloated.

Unfortunately I am pretty much the same as moter, I am otherwise healthy, just my choleterol is high. High cholesterol runs in my family, so eventually I will probably be on cholesterol meds. I am going to see what this cycle does and then call my Dr. again. If my LP is super short again, I don't see the point in waiting and I will insist on being seen, if it goes back up to my normal 10/11 days, I don't know is I will insist on seeing the Dr. or wait it out another cycle.
