SO, I had my follow-up today and I just kind of feel even more confused than ever!!!! She did an exam and said my cervix and ovaries look normal, everything looks good etc etc. There's still some slight brown spotting but should be going away soon. Then she sent me for lab work to test the levels and functioning of the following: Vitamin D, Thyroid, CMP (Complete Metabolic Panel) which tests your kidney, liver, blood sugar and electrolytes, CBC (Complete Blood Count) which tests the number of red & white blood cells... and that's it I think. She said I should hear from her by Friday with the results of all that jazz. She said a lot of these items can contribute to not being able to successfully carry a pregnancy so she'd like to rule them out etc etc.
She also talked about putting me on a progesterone supplement - but she didn't say it was necessary. She said that my irregular periods make her think I could have a slight issue with progesterone and that is a contributing factor to m/c's but that my levels looked normal when they did bloodwork when I was pregnant so she just didn't know. She said the upside to taking it would be that, if I m/c again, we could rule progesterone out as the reason. It also doesn't hurt you to take it. So then she gave me 3 options: Prometrium, to be used orally or vaginally, Crinon Gel (sp?), which is vaginal and costs the most ($100/month), or Compounding Pharmacy - which I'm not really into. I also just don't know if I should do it at all...if it's not necessary??? UGH!
She DID give us the green light to start trying again once I have a normal period, and that I can use Clomid once I have a normal period again too.
Sorry to blab so much but that's how the appointment went. I kind of feel really lost!! I just told her I want to get pregnant again as soon as possible and all of the other stuff doesn't really matter to me....
Thanks for listening
