Unexpected Doctor Visit

Today I was called into my doctors office. Which to most people means something bad...in this case, I would have to say the same thing.

A few weeks ago I was having really bad insomnia for a few weeks, so I decided to have the doctor's office order some blood test for my thyroid to see what was going on. That was about 2 weeks ago. I didn't hear from her last week either about the test. Also, the clomid didn't work what-so-ever this round. I didn't even end up having a period (sorry for tmi). So early this week I called in and left my doctor with the report about the clomid and some questions. I figured this week she would call me back because she been really busy recently.

Well, I was right about getting called back. I was told to come in at 12:30 because my doctor wanted to talk to me face to face about everything that was going on. I got to the doctors and waited a little bit due to the fact that I wasn't really schedule to have an appointment today and it was just suppose to be a quick visit. While I was waiting, I was wondering what I would do if I had to be sent to a specialist or even if we can afford one. Well, as soon as I got in with her, she told me some pretty bad news. Let me remind you that I have a hypothyroidism...which means that it doesn't produce enough to support the body. Well, it turns out that it at the lowest level for the test but the other two where perfect. My doctor was so confused.

So we went over everything after I started the Provera and Clomid and she was still confused with everything. She told me that this doesn't usually happens. We than talked about what has been happening in my life to see if there was something there that caused it but I couldn't really think of one. She talked about how I am looking so much better overall and my hormones are going back to normal from this. And what's really weird us out is the fact that I have lost 10 lbs in the last 2 months instead of gaining it back.

What she decided to do was put me back on the Provera to start my cycle and up the dosage of my Clomid to 100mg to see if this helps. In a little over a month I have to go get some more blood test done to see how my body is doing. If it's the same or worst she is going to sent me to a specialist. She doesn't want to wait for another year because we have been trying for so long now. But if they are a little better or great than she will try another round of clomid (that's if I start the next cycle on my own). If not...off to the specialist I go. My doctor thinks that there may be another problems somewhere that we have not discover yet but the only way of know that is if I go. So I'm guessing that in the next 3 months I will be see one no matter what (unless I get pregnant).

I keep wondering why I've been having such a hard time with this and so many other things this year. I've had been given trials to me through out my life but this year has to be the most packed full of them. I just guess I still have a lot of rough edges that need polish off better or something like that. I just hope that I am about to go through all this with a smile or just lots of hope.
