Update on....everything.

In a previous blog I said that I had blood work done at my GYN appt. Those results did come back and were normal. I continue to have to do a certain lab test, Lupus Anticoagulant. It's a test for a clotting disorder called antiphosphalipid (sp?) syndrome. In the past I've had one positive test for this syndrome, you have to have two in order to be diagnosed. This last test was significantly lower than any previous test I've done. Good? I can't take it at face value. The time I had a positive test was within 2 weeks of a miscarriage. I've done 4 of these tests total and 2 were about 6-8 weeks after a miscarriage and the tests were normal, but they were on the very high end of normal. This is a disorder that is only active during pregnancy. So it would make sense for this test to be a lot lower since I'm having an issue getting pregnant. So when Walter and I do get pregnant again I am going to insist that we redo this test again. But the good news is that the clomid (fertility med) is working. I had to do a lab test this week to see if I was ovulating and it came back normal, as opposed to low which would mean negative ovulation. So it means that I did ovulate this month. Woo Hoo!!! My doctor should call me next week and let me know if I have to continue clomid. I want to. I don't have crazy side effects to the medicine and if it works....why not? So I will continue to update on my progress. And hopefully soon we will be on our next step, by which I mean pregnant. Love you all and continued thanks for the prayers.
