Fertility Update

So I went on day 21 of my cycle and had all those labs drawn. Testosterone, progesterone, prolactin, thyroid, and fasting blood glucose.

Before I found out the results I called my mother-in-law convinced I had low progesterone and that's why I wasn't getting pregnant. Irregular peroids, acne, weight carried in abdominal area (that would be nice to blame on something hahaha)... there were a whole slew of symptoms and I was thinking that's it! It's a low progesterone level! If you progesterone level is low then your body doesn't create a uterine lining that's good for implantation, making it difficult to get pregnant.

So today when I was in the TJ Maxx restroom the nurse called me from the doctors office. And she told me... all my levels are normal! So that's good I guess. I say "I guess" because I almost was wishing we would figure out if there was a reason that it's taking a while to get pregnant. Yeah I know, we are going on 9 months. It's not that long. But still it would have been nice to figure something out... even though I'm grateful that my bodies hormones are all nice and regular (thanks bod! You're awesome.) P.S. Sorry to the lady in the TJ Maxx restroom who heard my whole conversation... It's not my fault you're so stealthy I couldn't hear your presence. Yes you heard right, I ovulated this month. lol.

So on to the next tests! Unless I get pregnant this month (fingers crossed).
