Beginning of the journey...or is it insanity....LOL
Sooooooo today I put my fear behind me and finally went to see a new doctor in regard to TTC (trying to conceive) and our inability to do so successfully. Despite the negative feedback I had heard/read of this new doctor, she was thorough and very attentive...thankfully. She did state what I already know...time is not my friend right now...the window of time is closing for me. Positive note, however, is the test that determines the adequacy of a woman's ovary reserve indicates that my ovaries are producing adequate amounts of eggs. =] Dr. firmly believes that PCOS and IR (insulin resistance) is completely messing up my hormones which in turn obliterates fertility. So today she did the wonderful 'annual' exam and blood was drawn. I go back Thursday morning to review the results and get address the medicines she feels I need to be on. The two mentioned were Metformin for the IR and Clomid to help stimulate ovulation. Yes I am aware that Clomid has a reputation for producing multiples... LOL She was furious when I told her about my GP stating that since I was having a monthly 'period' that I was most DEFINITELY ovulating. I had read in the past and known girls/had friends who experienced the exact opposite. You can most definitely NOT ovulate even if you have a monthly bleed.... or sometimes you are just not ovulating strong...such as the case with PCOS. So here we go. I wish I wouldn't have wasted so much time going to my normal GP...I wish I wouldn't have wasted so much time just 'waiting and seeing what happens' as my GP advised. I am thankful this new doctor seems very proactive and I am very hopeful. Time is a-wasting....I will deeply appreciate all prayers and positive thoughts sent our way. We so desperately want a baby and we pray that the good Lord will bless us with one. If you so choose to follow my blog...please be forewarned...I may vent or rant or cry or just ramble on. Those closest to me know I love to ramble on and on and on! LOL If anything like that may irritate you, please don't follow. This blog is for friends and family who want to follow our journey and who will be supportive and comforting...encouraging and soothing... as the case may ever be. <3

Oh and if one more person says "just relax....." I'm gonna kick 'em in the face LOL I know they are just trying to be helpful but that doesn't help at all.
ReplyDeleteI am with you all the way Jeannie. I pray Our Lord blesses Art and you with a child. You'll have to weed out the info you receive and make a decision to follow your Dr. I too was given wrong info many times. Such as the one dr. who said I couldn't have conceived the day before the period was due. Well, I know better, since there was only one immaculate conception!. I am here for you if you need me. Put this desire in the Lord's hands and don't be consumed by it. Let His will be done. LOVE
ReplyDeletethanks Mom!! Glad you found your way to the blog =] it's hard to not get consumed...but I will try. xoxox
ReplyDeleteSo many other factors involved.. I was bleeding every month for 23 years and it turned out I wasnt ovulating. when I DID ovulate, my luteal phase was 10 days long.. which is not ideal for implantation.. I should have a degree in this crap! I am here for ya girl!! I am signing this an anonymous because I dont want to sign up at this moment!! LOL it is Lauren!
