I had my consultation appointment with the doctors at the Center for Advanced Medicine. In general, they said that there wasn't any specific form of intervention for my primary issues from my previous pregnancy (preeclampsia and hemorrhaging), but both required for me to be monitored closely to determine if I will deal with either the second time around. However, I am at an increased risk for both since they occurred previously, but there aren't any forms of prevention. They said that it was up to me whether I wanted to continue coming to the high risk OBGYN or if I wanted to be referred to another doctor that could handle my issues appropriately. This is a decision I'll discuss further with Dr. Keller when I see her next.
Sadly, I am not pregnant this month which was more disappointing than I had anticipated. Part of me "felt" and "believed" it had worked this time. It was crushing to discover that it hadn't worked. I had a good cry and I reminded myself that I have a very big blessing in my life named Silas and if I am given the opportunity to be a mother again then I will be so thankful, but I must be patient for that time. So, I've picked myself up and called Washington University today to let them know my update. Sandy the secretary had asked why they hadn't looked at my progesterone levels during July which was surprising because they hadn't asked me to do this...she said it was okay because I had ovulated, but this information would have guided them in knowing if they needed to change my dose of Clomid. So, for now, they refilled my Clomid and we'll start the process again tomorrow. I became pregnant with Si during the second cycle of Clomid, so time will tell....
