Lupron Is Done, But is it the end....

I finished all of the Lupron injections!!! My last appointment with my doctor was on December 5th.  During this appointment, He told me that my body should start kicking back into gear by the middle of December and after the first period  I could start trying for a baby which would be around the New Year.  Well, here it is the middle of January and still no period.  So today, I called my Dr. just to make sure that this was normal.  He called back shortly and decided to put me on medication to induce a period.  I had them call in the prescription to the pharmacy.
While at the pharmacy, I get another phone call from the Dr.'s office.  This time telling me that they think it might be a good idea to check my pituitary and thyroid function.  Evidently, the two glands can play a major part in conceiving and having a healthy pregnancy.  Even though, I am a nurse this never crossed my mind that possible something else could be wrong. i was just thinking okay my body is just taking a little longer than normal to kick back in.  So he is sending me the physicians order to get the blood work done to check my thyroid and pituitary. Hopefully, very soon I will know what in the world is going on with me and get my life back to order.  
I am trying very hard to be optimistic right now, but it just seems like it is never ending!!  I was looking so forward to feeling like normal again!!  Well, hopefully in another week or so, I will have the results of the blood work and I will have some answers....only time will tell.
