Good.
It was lovely actually. I love my ObGyn (and what a difference that makes). All of my tests had come back fine, everything was normal. My BP was way up there because I was nervous as all hell, but it was fine at home this morning so I know that was just the nerves. She thought so too.
So, I went through the list of questions, and she seemed genuinely excited that we're almost ready to try again. I was worried that she'd think it was too soon, but that wasn't the case at all. It was a nice feeling. We went through my questions about aspirin and calcium, exercise, heparin and my irregular cycles (of which she is not concerned at all). She sent off my referrals to our MFM and a haematologist. The ball is rolling.
I mentioned the stats our MFM quoted regarding the 30% chance of reoccurance. She was great about it; we talked about the obvious risks but she kept coming back to the 70% chance of making it into the third trimester. That was encouraging. Not falsely hopeful, but encouraging.
We were sent out with instructions to Call the minute you find out you're pregnant. I don't care if it's 6am on a Sunday morning. You guys really made my day today.
Yay for nice doctors!
So, now the next step is to actually GET pregnant. We're going to wait until after my next period (God knows when that will be, considering the irregularity of my period nowadays), probably 2 or 3 weeks. Then I'll be measuring everything and tracking and driving myself crazy with all you other deadbaby moms that are in the midst of it now.
Wow. I made it through the awful, awful, treading water stage and now at least there's something to look forward to. Sure, ultimately I could end up frustrated if I don't get pregnant, or heartbroken if it ends badly, but at least I'm moving in some direction.
A sense of relief today. How's that for a change.

I'm glad that the news was encouraging. I wish you lots of success!
YAY for good dr's! I am glad you got good news. You deserve to have great things happen for you!
Great news! Your ObGyn sounds wonderful, and I'm so glad you've got a good and understanding doc on your side in this. Best of luck!
Heather thanks so much for this. I still feel like I am treading water and we are already TTC. Maybe I need to step back and realise that yes, even though it hasn't happened yet, we are moving foward. Thanks for this.
Bow chica bow wow...now go make a baby!
Forward movement is a good thing, Heather. Glad your OB appt went well. Yay for good doctors.
Keeping my fingers crossed that "it" happens for you sooner than later.
Yeay, awesome.
We are trying again too, its been almost a year for us.
I know it's like scary, but something to hope for too, an end to this limbo anyways.
