Definitely Something Hormonal...

On the third day of my cycle (which was Tuesday), I had to go in for bloodwork to check my hormone levels.

On Wednesday, Sean went in for his semen analysis.

The good news is we aren't dealing with both male and female fertility issues. Sean's analysis came back normal, so that is definitely good news. Not that I was worried about that since ya know...his semen isn't the reason I'm having long cycles.

When I went in for my bloodwork, the tech said "We'll call you only if there's something wrong." So I was a nervous wreck the whole day, of course. Around 2:30, my phone said I got a voicemail and it was them. For whatever reason, my phone didn't ring. I couldn't get them on the phone the rest of the day. That night was the worst night. I had a massive melt down. Poor Sean gets the brunt of my crazy.

The next day, I finally got them on the phone. All of my levels were normal, except my lutenizing hormone (LH). I make too much. There's another hormone that's involved, FSH, which basically checks your egg quality/age. That is normal. In theory, your LH:FSH ratio should be 1:1. Mine is 3:1. This came up on bloodwork I had done 6 months ago. Because of this, the physician's assistant said "There's definitely something hormonal going on.." She then when on to say that the Clomid should help me ovulate.

So, next Thursday is my ultrasound & bloodwork day to see if this dose of clomid works on me. I hope so! Keep your fingers crossed for me!
