End of Week 2

Skittle had her two year old check up this past week.  Her old pedi PCS'd (moved) and we were assigned a new one.  I'd give this new doc a 6/10 score.  I really liked her approach on Skittle's weight issues.  She's not concerned one bit that she didn't grow AT ALL again in 4 months.  She's hovering around 23 lbs and measures 33-34 inches, depending on who's doing the measurements.  She also, without hesitation, wrote her a referral to see an ophthalmologist for her lazy eye. We disagreed on all things vaccine though and wasn't so friendly when I didn't see the point of testing my child AGAIN for lead poisoning.  She was tested at a year old and didn't have it then and hasn't visited a house that was built before 1968 and yet she still has to be tested.  Apparently it's mandated in TX for children to be tested twice.  What I don't understand is why don't any of our buddies have to do it then!?!? I've talked to other TX mothers and their children have not been tested.  I don't get it. 

For the record, I had her tested again.  *sigh*  She was so brave!  She only cried when the needle was in her arm.  Such a trooper! 

As for me, YES I'm still on the endo diet (and yes I still hate it).  It's too early to tell if it's working to reduce my endo symptoms.  I'm not completely sure one of the issues I'm having is even endo related. 

Back in 2008/2009 I started noticing quite a bit of pain in my ovary area around the time that I ovulate.  It's sharp, intense, stabbing pain when I walk/sit/stand up/climb stairs/etc.  When I had a u/s around ovulation back then there was fluid around my ovaries.  All of that was remedied when I had my lap surgery.  The thing is though, that the pain has never gone away.  The last time I did IVF, I remember starting to get that pain on CD 6.  It corresponded with my ovary stimulating hormones and it turned out that I had a WHOLE lot of follicles growing in there.  When I'm not on meds I get the pain around CD9-11 and it can last for up to a week or as little as two days and stops completely when I've ovulated.  This month it was only two days. I know that as my follicles increase in size, so does the pain.

My infertility class is in a week. Yippy.  I still haven't made an appt with Dr. H and honestly, I'm not as sure anymore if I will.  I really feel like IVF is my only good shot at getting pregnant again.    Time will tell...
