Finally, a Referral

Well, my GYN appointment wasn't exactly a bust, but she didn't exactly seriously address my period pain either. Her words were menstrual pain is pretty common, even after I told her Motrin and a heating pad barely help. Instead of beginning the battery of tests that are the infertility workup, she referred me to the fertility specialist on base. Finally. Fifteen months after beginning our conception journey we will finally start getting some answers.

Now I'm waiting for the fertility doc to call so I can schedule an appointment. Can I say that it seems surreal that we may finally be getting a doctor that truly cares about our difficulty in getting pregnant? Because it seems unreal. Pregnancy could be right around the corner - that seems unreal as well.

I could have a simple hormonal imbalance that is preventing a bean from sticking to my womb. I hope that's all it is, and not a complicated chronic disease that I'll be fighting for the rest of my life.

I'm scared of what the diagnosis will be, but I need answers. So I know what I am up against.
