26-5-2009 - Emotional Day: the attack of the vampire!!!!

My mood while writing this blog: emotional but relieved

this morning I started as usual - take my temp then take a pregnacy test (got a -ve), felt fustrated as AF hasn't shown just the cramps and went for my walk. I got back and was talking on line to my mother and started to get VERY EMOTIONAL about it all (see previous blog for rant against AF) to the point where i was crying for about 30mins in a big house on my own. Decided to go to my family doctor, got an appointment and went straight in. She was very good and impressed about how much i knew, how i had been charting my temps. and the multivitamins that i have been taking. So I spoke to her about what has been happening. Here's what she has decided to do.

1. Run blood tests for a number of different things (hormone levels, thyroid, glucose, iron etc. to check if i am ovulating, my lining build up etc. - will find out tuesday the results) including a blood pregnancy test (which I find out the results for tomorrow)

2. If I am not ovulating then will run a scan to see what is happening (this may take a few months to determine - possibly will have another test on June 15th if these test don't prove to show anything)

3. encouraged me to have a high protine breakfast (like boiled egg or baked beans on toast) after my usual morning walk and a banana before walking to help kick start my body, lose some weight and keep it under control

So had my tests today - the lady/vampire took 2 lots of blood for the tests!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like I am now taking a proactive approach instead of a passive approach to getting my body right again.
