This time I just lied to them and re-calculated what my LMP should have been according to their chart based on the date of ovulation.

I know what you mean about hating cold emails. I abhor that– plus I hate just about any kind of communication with medical professionals. Still, I think I’d be taking the trip to Austin if I could at all swing it.

Anyway, continuing to pray for you.

I so agree about the “black hat” doctors, having BTDT for years myself over endometriosis issues. I hope that you can find a doctor who wants to worth WITH you instead of AGAINST what your body would naturally do/need.

Thank you for the two links. I’ll check them out.

But we moved between GeekBaby’s arrival and the losses afterwards, and so I had trouble acquiring a doctor. It was roughly a twelve week waiting period for new patients (I actually only acquired an OBGYN by having a miscarriage so the ER assigned me a doctor for followup!) and progesterone has to be administered very early to have an effect. I went in at about 4-5 weeks with GeekBaby because I’d had a bought of food poisoning, and I wanted to make sure things were okay, and my OB (sick of my fussing at this point) put me on progesterone as a preventative measure.

He’s not my doctor, but he seems like a nice guy. And if you come to Austin, there are so many awesome Catholic and not specifically Catholic things to do while you’re here!

Regarding #6, Simcha Fisher wrote a great TOB-oriented post for the National Catholic Register. The Secret Keeper Girl blog had some good suggestions, too (although they are not Catholic). I have tucked these away for my potential future children.

Baby #3 and #4 exist on earth today (I believe) because I ‘forced’ my docs to give me progesterone (I think I was having day 3-5 miscarriages for a year) and heparin (I have mild lupus and I lost a baby at 20 weeks- my only ‘bad’ miscarriage- baby was perfect, placenta calcified)

now, I have LOUSY insurance (progesterone and heparin will not be approved- I’ve asked) and I am 41 with other complications, so probably I will stay with ‘only’ 4 kids

so- what I am saying is- get the progesterone

saying a prayer for you

I was reading the comment in my inbox trying to figure out why you were commenting on that.

(I have my own older sister to fight with, but thanks for the offer. :) )

The picture is just from Wikipedia. It was made by someone going by Isometrik and he did a very good job. I’d use it in a textbook, if I was writing one.

(Megan is my baby sister’s name! Can I fight with you?? It would be so homey!)

I am not actually qualified to comment on anything, so…Hi. Nice picture. You have my sympathy and prayers.
