It's Worth the wait

I spoke with the nurse on Tuesday after my appointment for blood work, and I have to be at the doctor’s office on Tuesday morning at 8am. My progesterone level was low (5.3 and it needed to be 15 or higher).  She said that she has seen women get pregnant with a low progesterone level, but it’s not likely. When I go in on Tuesday, they will do a blood pregnancy test & I will meet with the doctor to discuss our next plan of action. She said she felt like she would probably want to do injections @ home. She said they can’t be too aggressive with things because of the cysts that I have. They feed off of the medication and hormones almost like a parasite. The meds that they give me to help have a baby are also making the cysts balloon up and the cysts are causing interference with the conception process. So as you can imagine it’s frustrating. I know that they treat women with PCOS everyday so they know what to do, they just have to find the best medication me for and figure out what works best. It’s gonna be a long process. They also put me on progesterone suppositories. Which was a new experience for me. I don’t even like to wear tampons, and I have never had to use a device to inject anything vaginally. They give you a device (made a lot like a tampon) and you put this progesterone pill inside and then inject vaginally. The first night that I did this, after I injected the pill I quickly put my legs together and waddled to the bed, luckily brad had already gone to bed or I am sure I would’ve been made fun of for days, but its ok you gotta find some laughter somewhere in all of this. So, anyways, long story short we may not get to experience the insemination process since my body isn’t cooperating. Nothing is easy, but sometimes the hardest things are the best things, and definitely worth waiting for, and a baby  is definitely worth it all!!
