I was never "regular" growing up. I took it as I was very into athletics and supposably that was known to make you irregular. Fast forward to the months before marriage and Edgar and I abstained thinking it was just "that easy" to get pregnant. We didn't want an "oops" baby before the wedding. So after the wedding we decided to give it a shot. Man we were in for a rude awakening. I had a cycle of 130+ days. I went to the Dr to figure out how to make my period come. She gave me meds to jumpstart my period. I also got about 8 tubes of blood taken and my first ever pap smear! Talk about being overwhelmed.
Those test results came back with my prolactin hormone coming up high. This hormone is what you get when you become pregnant which my dr thought this was causing my body to think I was pregnant which is why I wasn't having a normal period. She gave me meds to try to lower the prolactin count and sent me for an MRI. Apparently if you have pituitary tumors in your brain they leak the prolactin hormone and so I had to get checked for them. Turns out-I was all clear. Luckily the meds worked and my hormone is on average level now. I've never researched so many things in my life!
Thinking I was in the clear and that I "should get pregnant now" I was ecstatic. Nope-not as easy as it seems. I've gotten more bloodwork known to man and each time there's always a next step. I'm getting so irritated and feel like its getting harder to keep going. Hopefully we see the end and soon!
think about the positive outcome of the tests. the more tests that come back all clear and the more your body adjusts to the possibility of becoming pregnant, the higher your chances of conceiving are! every "all clear" is another step toward your miracle. it's one less thing that could be wrong, one more check off the ol' list-eroo! :-)
