the waiting game

MeganRusticBarn

wanted my period to come back into my life. I am ready, we are ready to start TTC again. It's been a month since my EP surgery. It was a hard couple of weeks and needed lots of strengh and comfort from others just to get by. I stopped coming to the threads. I started to blog my feelings on Wordpress.

good things to come!
I was referred to a endocrinologist and have that appointment in the beginning of Jan. This is all so new to me... Tell me

Have you gone to a endo? Thoughts? I feel hopefully again and feel like I am moving forward
My OB couldn't give me an answer on why my EP happened. I know, I could just be the small percentage of females that "it just happened" but I don't think so. My high strong personality and need to know .... Well everything tells me otherwise.
For God sakes, I was the one that demanded an early U/S when they told me my levels doubled and have nothing to be worried about (I was cramping). If I wasn't so pushy in life, then who knows what could of happened.

Anyways. That was a lot of venting.. But any advice on your endo appt would be helpful!

I have no advice on seeing an endo. I do think, perhaos, your title on your post is a little confusing. Something like "advice needed - experiences with endocrinologists" might get more replies.

Are you going to a regular endocrinologist or a reproductive endocrinologist? Two very different ball games.

I'm confused also on the type of endo. I'm also confused on why the warning for endo being mentioned :-/

I am being referred to check my hormone levels (sleeping issues, hair loss, sweating). I also wanted to ask questions about my EP.

I am just going to a normal endo, not a RE.

I suggested to my doc my EP was caused from my long history of smoking but he doesn't think so. I unfortunately smoked the weekend we conceived. Since then I have been smoke free for 3 months now!!

Sorry my title was confusing last night. I was tired and randomly thinking about the next couple of months to come

I've been to an endocrinologist, and it was very much focused on blood work and hormones. She also did an ultrasound on my thyroid. I didn't get a lot of information at first, but I did get my diagnosis. Over time, there were a lot of check ups and repeat blood work. I would recommend taking a list of symptoms and questions. They may not be able to give you a reason for your EP, but FX they can figure out what's going on.

I hope you get answers at your appointment and congratulations on 3 months smoke free!

Congrats on being 3 months smoke free! That is a great accomplishment! Please do not blame yourself for your loss. Lots of (((hugs))).

No advice on an endo but I hope they can give you some answers.

Congrats on 3 months smoke free! I also found things to try and blame myself for but I realized I shouldn't do that, and neither should you *hug* 

I also have no advice on an Endo but good luck at the appointment and I hope you find answers!
