Today I had my six week checkup. It was very uneventful. The final results had not been sent to the hospital yet so they are going to call me when that happens. After talking with the doctor he said the IUD probably was the cause, but of course they can’t say for sure that it was. I stand by saying that it was the cause, George was fine otherwise and all various testing they did on me has come back negative. So the IUD must have caused something to go wrong with the placenta, which then failed to do what it is supposed to do. I admit I debated suing someone, but who, and do I want to drag it on for a long time, I have my own healing to deal with to want to do that.

The nurse was so awesome, she gave the kids coloring books while I went in with the dr, I didn’t expect that at all! I also got to pick out birth control – saying I don’t want to have another IUD still makes people laugh a little. I know I will never get another one and Alice is not either. Of course by the time she is ready for birth control maybe things in the IUD world will have changed, who knows. So I get to try a pill – something I haven’t done for years so hopefully it goes okay!

I’m sad I can’t keep seeing the same doctors but now I have to stick with the military ones. I am amazed at the level (not very high) of care I have received here from them, at our previous duty station I had great doctors! Every place is different.

I’ve gained weight too, I’m back to what I was when I started doing LA Weight Loss earlier this year. That is a bummer but I am going to start LA back up soon. I need to go grocery shopping first!
