My new fear..

Time has been flying by this year with my beautiful little toddler growing into an amazing little girl. She will be two in March and around this time I am also due to go back into the work force and I will freely admit "I'm absolutely terrified" !! Its been almost two years since I went on maternity leave and I am afraid my brain and all the knowledge encased within it has turned into merely a storage vault for nursery rhymes, children's games and creative food ideas!

This however is not my only fear... 

My hubby and I have been trying for bub #2 for about 8 months now and so far its been fruitless. We have never deliberately avoided falling pregnant since Sara was born, its just never happened. So lately my mind has been working overtime thinking of all the things that could be wrong with me or hubby. I am becoming an emotional wreck. I break into tears at the drop of a hat or at the sight of a 'Huggies' ad on TV. 

I have been seeing a Dr who specialises in Chinese Medicine for acupuncture and Chinese herbal supplements, but it doesn't seem to be helping this time round. Panic has set in, (I'm 40 next year), and so I desperately made a time to go and see my GP for some sound advice. As expected I had to have a blood test to check my hormone levels are fine and my thyroid to make sure it is all working OK. Results came in last week and everything came back fine. 

In the meantime I have had an appointment with my Ob to see what her opinion might be on where we go from here...She had asked me to get some more specialised blood tests done and an ultra sound called a "levovist". 

Have you had one of these and how did you find it?
