Opinions are like Assholes

everyone has one.....
That is one of my mom's favorite sayings. Well, looks like I'm ready for another asshole....I mean, opinion.
A few months back a friend recommend I see a doctor that helped her sister get pregnant after many failed IVF treatments and 8 miscarriages. She said this doctor did something that all the others didn't, hormone testing mid cycle. So, I finally made an appointment. I'm ready to hear what he has to say about my girly parts. I want to discuss my self diagnosed luteal phase defect. Hopefully he won't be to harsh on me for self diagnosing. I know it must drive doctors crazy when we do that. But, when it comes down to it, I know my body. I walked around for years with a tumor in my uterus that I knew was there even though the doctors kept telling me it wasn't! Those things don't grow to the size of a large onion overnight.
I'm finally at a place where I can go back to the doctor. I'm comfortable with my fertilty and my plan and just want a doctor to discuss it with. I'm hoping this new doc is supportive of my acupuncture treatment, because if he's not I won't be seeing him again.
Thanks to my therapist I have finally come to a place of hope. A steady feeling of satisfaction with my life. Not the up and down roller coaster I was riding. I haven't felt this good in a long time. I'm in no way ready to attend a baby shower, but I'm not going to cry when I get the invitation or birth announcement. I'm getting rid of the anger and hurt I have been carrying around in my gut and making room for love and acceptance. This has been one hell of a transition, and it's amazing what I have learned about myself. I truely believe that everyone could benefit from therapy.

I heart my therapist. Big time. Good for you for doing sometime for yourself...we all need to do that.
Best of luck with the new doc! Sounds interesting.
