Just came from my doctor today and our main topic during my consultation was my cervix. She said that there is something that is going on that's why I noticed all these changes.
Just a background, my menstruation never really went back to the way it used to after my D&C. Now its very light and very short. During my last menses, it was just 2 days then on my 3rd day my discharge was brownish and thick. According to her, these are similar discharges after one has had a miscarriage. Apparently, after the physiological release, its not time for the actual physical release.
I was telling my doctor that my cervix was really traumatized during my D&C because she didn't really want to dilate. My OB at that time placed several medicines just to soften my cervix to make it easy for her to do the D&C. It really took time before it softened. This actually just occurred to me while we were discussing what is causing my brownish discharge. My OB said that this might also be an indication that there might be some inflammation going on and this should be addressed because this will also contribute to my having difficulty in conceiving.
Another observation she had was that I was starting to be in touch with my body. The mere fact that I started referring to my cervix and that I was expressing her feelings meant that I almost over in my healing process.
All in all she was very happy with my developments. She just reminded me to be very observant on my body and to take note of any changes, movements, etc.
After the medicine she gave me, my cervix will hopefully be fully recovered from the trauma.

Check-Up Routine With My Doctor
This time I just want to summarize what my homeopathic OB regularly checks whenever we have our consultations. Every consultation with her would take an hour for me and an hour for my husband.
First, she always ask me how I am? From there she'll ask me changes/updates on what's happening with my life. Am I stressed? What's causing my stress? Do I sleep better or am I having a a hard time sleeping. What have I been eating lately? Any noticeable changes in my body? About my bowel movements-How often, what's the color and whether its a floater or not? Any hot flushes? Have I been regularly exercising? How's my food intake?
Then we discuss my basal body temperature chart. She checks whether I had a good rise in temperature during my ovulation period. We also discuss how's my level of libido, how was the blood flow during my period? What color was the blood and were there blood clots? Did I experience any pre-menstrual symptoms?
After that she'll do her physical examination. She will check my tongue to see if if I'm hydrated or dehydrated, temperature, BMI (body mass index) and blood pressure. Then she'll do a cervical exam using a speculum. She always tells me whether my cervix is happy, shy or mad. She says a good sign of a happy cervix is when its really pink and smiling while it's mad if its reddish with pimple like growth. Shy when the os or opening is somehow close. Then we discuss my cervical mucous. Ideal state is when its oozing with the egg white like texture.
After that she'll check how my visceral fat is mobilizing. She also does breast examination and check my lungs and throat.
From there she'll discuss what medicines should I take, when to take it and until when do I take it.
Then we schedule for our next appointment.
