So today I went to the doctor. The doctor's office has been a familar place this year. First I met with the doctor to discuss some things. They weren't able to find out the gender from the chromosome testing which I was hoping I would know the gender so I could pick out a name. With our last baby we named him/her Peyton because it was gender neutral but I had a feeling this baby was a girl so I think I am going to pick out a girl name this time. I also had blood clotting tests done today and if anything comes up abnormal then I will either have to take aspirin everyday or I may have to take 2 shots of heparin everyday. I am willing to do anything I have to do even if that means getting over my fear of seeing a needle enter my skin. I absolutely love my doctor because she is willing to do any kind of test to find the cause of my miscarriages. She is also going to call a specialist in Memphis to consult with about my results. I should get the results by next Friday so it is now another waiting game. After we get the results, then I will be cleared to start trying again. In the meantime my doctor went ahead and started me on a low dose "baby aspirin" since it can't hurt in the waiting time. Next time around I have decided to try accupuncture. I have read some studies and research that says that accupuncture helps prevent miscarriage and helps one get pregnant since accupuncture helps with blood flow. I figured it couldn't hurt anything.
After my doctor's appointment I went to the christian book store to get my name on my bible. While I was checking out I saw a ring that had a bible verse that I just love and will be my motto during this new waiting period. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philipians 4:6
