Is the big day for my MRI.  It's a huge day for me and I am excited and nervous.  I hope to have Tux weaned by then although I kinda don't think it will happen.  It is my goal though!  The little man makes it so hard!  He loves nursing and so do I!  I've been trying to replace his morning nursing w/ a bottle and it makes him sad and so it makes me sad!  Not to mention it is extremely painful by about noon.  Anyway, I am excited to see what this thing in my head has been doing in the last 6 months.  I need to call my neurosurgeon and get my previous MRI pictures back so we have something to compare too!  I can't wait to tell him about my levels and hopefully the MRI will hold some good news as well :)  Wish me luck....again....

MRI date coming soon!

It is almost time....I am going to get an MRI soon!  I still need to call my Dr. to set a date, but I'm hoping to schedule one before the end of June.  I have mixed feelings about it....I am super claustrophobic and I am not looking forward to the end of nursing, but I have a good feeling about the tumor!  I am sure it is shrinking and I can't wait for this confirmation!  My headaches are gone, I have a lot more energy and I have lost weight.  My prolactin levels are down drastically from February and I just plain feel good!  I'm happy that I can raise my son w/out the debilitating side effects I got from the Bromo and I hope to be able to have more babies w/out fertility meds.  I have a better outlook on life in general even on a rainy day like today...Stay tuned for the MRI date!!!

Results!!! Very infomative....

I got some more results in the mail the other day and I am up to 130!!!  ARGGGHHHH!  I have been off of frankincense for 2 weeks and I am sure that was the problem.  No worries though, I ordered two bottle this time so hopefully I won't run out...I'm going to start stocking up so I don't EVER RUN OUT AGAIN!!!  I feel like I am now a month behind and further away from getting pregnant again.  I don't know that I am ready for that yet (hence why I am still nursing I guess) but when I am ready I want it to happen PRONTO!  I feel like I am getting old and my dream of having 5 or 6 kids is just not going to happen, but I still want 3 or 4 at least and that won't happen if my body is trying to shed prolactin all the time.  The good news is that I am taking the frankincense again and I am going to get another blood test in a couple weeks and hopefully this one will be good news :)  At least I know for sure that when I take the Frank my levels decrease and when I don't they increase....Weaning is going well.  Tux takes two bottles a day and nursed twice a day.  I am going to drop another nursing as soon as I feel like I won't explode!  Wish me luck :)
