Some bonus elements to being with a fertility specialist? Same day results!
So this latest round revealed that…I ovulated. My progesterone levels, while not at the desired 10, was at a 8.38. Even better? My thyroid is at a 1.27, which is the lowest it’s ever been. These are all good signs, of course, and I don’t know what to point to, though this all does lend credence to the doctor’s theory that my half-marathon training was wrecking havoc on my system. As for the low thyroid? I’m just happy with the results.
I still have some more blood work to do, and an ultrasound, and then we’ll see.
I wish I had other things to share. The past couple of weeks have been hectic, and the next two promise to be so as well. With the exception of this week, when I came down with a summer cold, I’ve been at boot camp every day. All of sudden this week, however, something shifted in my body and clothes began to fit loosely once more. It’s a workout that has made a world of difference in just about every way, and I can tell you that I feel a little less balanced this week not having worked out since last Saturday.
Sunday I head out of town for work for the night, and right now I should be doing some more work but I just need to give my brain a slight rest for the moment. In between work I’m going to be pool-side for most of the weekend – in River North tomorrow and Florida come Sunday. Week after next I head to Park City, Utah where I’m speaking on a panel at the Evolution of Women in Social Media conference. I’m thrilled to be doing this, and I’m lucky to be among such talented women and men on the dais. I’ve got old friends and new who will be there, plus, you know, Park City, Utah.
More next week…
I’m jealous – I’ve always wanted to go to Utah. I’d want to go in the winter though so I could take advantage of the powder snow and put the “ah” in Utah.
Enjoy!
Been reading for a long time, but have never commented. I’m also at FCI, but in Highland Park. I find it very impersonal compared to a clinic I went to before, but this is not my first go-around (doing IVF) so I already know what to expect. I assume they told you this, but Scott should get tested too before you do any treatments. The problem may not be (only) on your end. I’m glad you got good results! That is very promising. I firmly believe in acu and if you are ovulating, it could give you the extra boost you need.
