Still out of whack!

Well, I did talk with my doctor's nurse last week.  I did phone the office last Monday to inquire about the bleeding, but I hesitated because the bleeding seemed to be letting up. No. Not stopping, but I could definitely tell it wasn't as heavy as it had been. 

After talking in detail with the nurse she got back with me later in the day to let me know that Dr. P said the bleeding was normal.  Okay, now wait.  According to the last nurse who was relaying info from the Dr. in office the week before, it was not normal.  The nurse said Dr. P said I could go back on the progesterine to help control/stop the bleeding or I could wait and see if the D&C helps to regulate the bleeding and my cycle.  Well, HELLO isn't that why I had the D&C done to regulate the bleeding and hopefully get my cycle back on track.  Why would I want to start progesterine right away.  Besides if I'm on the progesterine I won't be ovulating which means our odds of conceiving are nil to none.  Our odds of conceiving are challenging as it is why would I want to hamper them any greater? 

As far as the low pelvic burning sensation, still no explanation other than a possible kidney or bladder infection.  However, since I'm not having any pain while urinating I opted not to go in for a urine test.  Now, that low pelvic burning sensation has not been bothering me; however, I have been taking over the counter sinsus/cold medicine for over a week now.  So, I don't know if the pain reliever in the meds has helped controll that pain or if it has gone away for good. 

I go this week, Tuesday to be exact, for my follow-up/post-op appointment.  The bleeding has stopped; however, I have an occassional day of spotting here and there, so maybe my body is trying to figure out what is going on.  I'm not sure where to go from here.  I'm not sure what discussions to have with Dr. P.  I guess I better figure that out before Tues. morning.  I know I would like to do what I can to increase our odds of conception and reduce the odds of miscarriage, but I don't want to talk with a reproductive endocrinologist, yet.

Hope you recover well from the surgery.
