Moved Back to Ohio - Finding a New Dr.

It's amazing how things can change in an instant.  One minute we are living in Parker, Colorado and the next we are living in my in-laws basement in Ohio.  We celebrated Christmas 2002 in Ohio and Jay started a new job in January 2003.  The only constant we had at the time was our journey to expand our family was not being put on hold, we figured if it happened it happened. 

Unfortunately, I was still having painful menstrual cycles and other symptoms that needed to be addressed.  My doctor in Colorado was ready to do the laparoscopy after the first of the year.  Well, we got situated, started looking for a house, and I found a new OB/GYN.  After the initial consultation and review of my medical records, it was agreed to go ahead and do the diagnostic surgery. 

So, in April 2003 I had laparoscopy where they found a cyst and a mild case of endometriosis and they confirmed my tubes were clear and free of any obstruction. After the surgery, the doctor recommended a few cycles on Glucophage and Clomid to see if we could get pregnant.  After a few months of no success, the doctor referred me to a reproductive specialist.  Jay & I went for the initial consultation, but any visit after that was not covered on our insurance.  So, we were not able to utilize his services because the treatments were more than we could afford.

Well, by September 8, 2003, I was on day 39 of my cycle so I took a pregnancy test and it was positive.  So I phoned the doctor's office and they ordered an HCG serum.  The numbers were good and they doubled the next draw, but by the third draw they were still climbing but not doubling.  The doctor's office wanted me to come in and have another draw.  Well, eight days after we found out I was pregnant we found out it was not a viable pregnancy and I was beginning to miscarry, again. 

A few months later, we went through it again.  I waited a while before I took the home pregnancy test because there had been so many disappointments.  The pregnancy test showed a positive result with a very faint line.  Well, we were pregnant, but we knew, in our hearts, what to expect.  So far, anytime we've had a faint positive result usually ended up as an early miscarriage.  I was just under six weeks pregnant when we lost that baby, too.
