We Have a Plan - well, maybe...

Saw the RE yesterday, we'll call him Doc G. I did not realize how long it would take to get started again. After I completely wean from nursing, he said it takes 2-3 months for my prolactin levels to get back to normal to even try. It will also take about 2 months to wean, so we're looking at about 5 months if I started weaning today.

Because of my near death experience during my C-section, the blood pooling in my uterus could have formed scar tissue which would cause problems. I'll need to have another hysteroscopy (surgery) done before we can even attempt to move forward with IVF. Not what I wanted to hear.

Doc G did confirm that we'll use the same protocol as last time, we won't vary anything even if we're not sure if it's needed, like the steroids for a month and blood thinners the whole time.

On a positive note, it did feel a little bit like a reunion seeing my old doc and 2 of the staff members that are still there. I guess it's been about 18 months since I was there last.

The plan...
- Wean for 2 months
- BCP for 1 month
- BCP for month 2 with hysteroscopy
- Check prolactin levels and day 3 bloodwork
- Possibly begin IVF at least 5 months from now

Made the first step

I just booked an appointment with my RE. I've been debating the timing of all of this and trying to find out when I should stop nursing to try to get my cycles back. But I guess the first step is talking to the RE and probably having all of my bloodwork done again. What fun.

I guess we're really going to get started on the roller coaster again...
