In the beginning of June I started seeing a doctor that is willing to work with me, she happens to be the doctor who delivered our baby in December. Even though she hasn't been there since the beginning, she is sympathetic to everything we are going through. She sat down with me and read over every test that was preformed on the baby, on the placenta, and on me after and before the delivery. So far no one has been able or wiling to do this with me. Dr. J assured me that she didn't think anything was wrong with me, she dismissed my self diagnoses of secondary fertility problems, and explained to me that stress and anxiety can play a significant roll in ovulation and conception. Besides telling me the obvious that I should try not to analyze every aspect of the reproductive process and sending me to a counselor who specializes in stress and anxiety, Dr. J told me she would not make me wait the mandatory 12 months to start fertility testing, she even mentioned some fertility drugs. A confirmation that nothing is wrong by some more blood test and the doctors helpfulness has allowed me to be hopeful again that maybe this is an actual possibility.
I know this clip is long, but I love how they see babies in the clouds, they paint the room and ready the nursery with care just to have the doctor tell them otherwise.
Oh Sarah... I am so glad you have somebody who is willing to work with you, and be an advocate for you to get the tests done. I hope all goes well with this new doctor, and btw, UP is one of my favorite movies (even though this particular part is very sad).
