A tiny piece of the puzzle and now, more tests!

So, after more bloodwork last week, they finally found something...  My progesterone test came back a little low.  Not low enough to account for all of our trouble getting pregnant but it could be making it a little harder for fertilized eggs to implant and it could have also been a contributing factor to our miscarriage.  From what they said, having enough progesterone is very important for implantation and sustaining pregnancy because it thickens the lining of your uterus.  If the lining is too thin, implantation either doesn't happen or it doesn't happen correctly.  They had me start taking supplements immediately - that was Sunday - and I will take them the last two weeks of every cycle unless I get pregnant and then I'll probably take them the entire first trimester.  The supplements may not fix our problem for us but they do think it is an important element in creating the best possible environment for getting pregnant and staying pregnant.  As you can imagine, we are very excited that they found this - especially now, before we get pregnant again.  Now, the next step is for me to go in to have my Day 3 bloodowork and ultrasound done and I will probably do that this Thursday.  :)

Another exciting thing to mention is that Lewis saw a new urologist last week and he thinks that there is absolutely nothing for us to worry about as far as Lewis's fertility is concerned!!!  Soooo, that means we don't have to worry about those little antibodies after all.  Woohoo!  This doesn't mean we won't still need to try IUI to conceive - it just means that we have one less thing working against us.  :)  Even though the doctor saw no problem at all with the little swimmers, he did order a couple of new tests to see if they can pinpoint what else may be going on.  One of those is a CT scan Thursday morning to make sure there is no hernia or anything else physiological causing his pain.  So, once again, we'll be bonding over doctor's appointments on Thursday.  The story of our lives lately!  I'm definitely not complaining since I know that every test we have done just gets us one step closer to our goal of having a sweet little baby and what could be more worth it?!
