I went to my GP today for an annual physical. This was the first time I'd see him since my m/c, so I filled in him on everything. I also mentioned that my periods are starting to get longer. My periods are now lasting around 8-9 days where they previously lasted about 6 days on average. Though it's very light by day 8 or 9, it's still annoying. I had extremely heavy periods when I was a teenager, which prompted me to go on the pill when I was about 16 years old. I was on the bill until I was about 28 years old. Anyway, he asked if we had been trying since the m/c and I said yes. I said I'm borderline ready to call my OB. Since I was having a blood draw anyway, he decided to test my female hormones and thyroid too. I have a feeling they'll come back fine, but we'll see. Anyway, him and I both agree that my OB should be called in a few months if I don't get my BFP before then. My plan was originally to call after this cycle if I get a BFN, but I think I'll wait an extra month. We're going on vacation in the beginning of Oct. I don't want any of this hanging over my head. I just want to go and have a good time.
I'm glad that my dr took the initiative to have my female hormones tested. He did mention that my hormones could be changing b/c of my age (almost 33), but I'm by no means all of the sudden infertile. I'm anxious to get the results.
