hmmm confused, again.

So, just got my riod again.
Which makes the cycle only 28 days. It's the shortest one I've had since the D&C. And 28 days was the length of my cycles before we got pregnant.
Well I'm glad we decided not to pursue trying this month, b/c we would've been disappointed. According to TCOYF I was supposed to be ovulating yesterday and be getting my period on Sept 21st. Ha.

I don't know if this means I'm going 'back to normal'...and that maybe the steroids just got my cycle a bit off last month or what.

All the blood test results I had just recently gotten... they are questionable at this point. I saw my GP doc and she has a gut feeling that they screwed up in the lab or something and mixed my results with someone else. To have the liver of an alcoholic when I don't even drink or take meds is absurd. Also I have no signs of liver issues - no pain, no swelling in that area, no jaundice, all my bowel movements are just fine. Thanks for asking ;)

My blood pressure and EVERYTHING else are completely normal... so what is this all about? -- My GP gave me a prescription to get the tests redone, and I went somewhere OTHER than the OB/GYNs office.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that those results were not mine.
If they are, well then -- I have another prescription to get an ultrasound of my liver and some other blood tests to take. I have been super paranoid in the meantime, b/c of the C-Reactive Protein, Cardiac results being so high. When I asked my GP if I was at high-risk for a heart attack with those results, she said yes. Great.

So I've been watching what I eat, no trans-fats, no white carbs, no high-fructose-corn-syrup.

My Vitamin D deficiency -- well, all docs at OB's office said to take 1000mg Vitamin D a day (supplement) and my GP said NO, b/c vitamin D is fat soluble and goes through the liver and can have a negative affect if we don't know what is wrong with it. Have to diagnose the liver issue before moving on to the others.

We will see.

So, tonight we are having Mike's family over for dinner. I'm making Baked Ziti of all things. Talk about Heart Attack!!

I found a low-fat healthy(er) way to make it.
I use part-skim cottage cheese, part skim ricotta, part skim mozzarella, a little bit of parm. Wheat penne or ziti and reduced sodium tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes. 1 serving is 2.5cups, which is TOO MUCH for me. But, It's definitely healthier than the typical type I used to eat.

It tastes great too.
