My visit with the Reproductive Endo!

Well today I went to a reproductive endocrinologist. Let me just say first that Nate and I were thoroughly impressed. Everything was done very quickly, efficently and thoroughly. The longest part was the medical history and what not. They asked a ton of questions.

Dr. Groff took me off of metformin as he feels I don't need it. There is no need for me to be taking it yet as I have not been diagnosed as having problems trying to concieve. I am super excited as he wants to monitor my next cycle to make sure I am ovulating just fine. The only bad part is that my insurance doesn't cover anything. Nathan is on board with any costs we need to incur to have a baby. We both want a baby so bad it hurts.

I had an ultrasound today to determine if I had any cysts on my ovaries and it came back as negative. Everything looked normal so far. He is going to check my prolactin, thyroid, estradiol and other estrogen levels. He wants to make sure that I don't have PCOS. My old doctor told me there was no way to test. Dr. Groff got right on it and decided that he would test for it to make sure all is well. I should get the results of the blood work within 2 days. I am hoping for an answer to all my issues.

He told me that we can continue to TTC. This is great news for us. This weekend were my most fertile days and so I called him last week to make sure it was all good and he said it was. The best part, I talked to HIM. Not his nurse or a receptionist, but him. I like that about him. So hopefully this month we can get pregnant. I had a thermal shift today and I think I ovulated. So now we wait. I really hate the two week wait. It kills me. I get so anxious.

All in all today went well. I was very pleased with the way he handled everything, listened to me and answered all my questions. I am really excited to be starting on this journey with a GOOD doctor. Nathan was as impressed as I was. He went with me to my appointment and we laughed the whole time. Nothing is better than having an ultrasound and having something up your hoo-ha and having your husband make you laugh. Our ultrasound tech was the best. She joked with us and made me feel really comfy despite being naked from the waist down in stirrups!
