Thank you Shelley for your hugs and prayers. I work in a medical clinic
and even being an employee, my questions aren't being answered. They
never did any hormone tests while I was pregnant, just the thyroid and
they said it was regulated. I spoke with our lab person here and she
said that I should come in every few weeks for a pregnancy test just to
put my mind at ease. That way I can get the ball rolling as soon as
possible. I just got my first period since having my d&c on October
2nd. Not bad for having been so irregular my whole mentruating life. I
just found out that my best friend is pregnant. They just got married
and decided last month to get pregnant. It's so frustrating that it
only takes some no time at all and others it takes years. Anyways,
thank you and lots of hugs!
