Positive doctor appointment

Elizabeth

So after having to reschedule twice due to sick kids and daycare closing I finally made it to my yearly. I had lots of concerns and questions. I ended up seeing a new doctor to the practice. I mentioned that my cycles had been all messed up since our miscarriage in July. Spotting before and after my period, making me bleed in some way for two weeks at times. So he looked into my history, saw how long it took us to conceive our boys. My test results. And said based on what he was seeing, it sounds like it could be corpus luteum defect (basically low progesterone), and wants to look into it further. So I go back on the 14th for a 21 day draw, and he wants to put me on progesterone to see if that helps with the spotting issue as well. He said to start testing for pregnancy around when my period would be due to see if we got pregnant so I can keep taking it, or if we didn't so I can stop taking it and get my period. For the first time I felt like someone really listened and took my concerns seriously and working to find a solution. He was honest and said this may not be a quick fix, but give him three months haha. Wish us luck.
