New med to add to the list

I went in for my first of 4 appts with the MANY physicians I am seeing right now. Today was my appt with my primary DR. Just went over the basic, Blood pressure, weight etc. I got some blood work done for my thyroid and blood sugars. Thyroid should be OK, as I just had that checked not long ago,  but I will be waiting for the blood sugar results. I have been monitoring my own levels at home with a glucometer, and have had some pretty high readings now and again, after meals and borderline fasting levels..That coupled with my other symptoms of slight insulin resistance/PCOS, they decided to FINALLY give me a RX for some metformin. I have been doing some reading and met seems to be a great thing for those of us who struggle with this. I have been asking my RE to RX it for me for months, but he said he does not feel I have PCOS cause I do ovulate on my own, however I disagreed and luckily so did this new primary DR. So I am on 500 mgs twice a day. I am hoping this will help things along in our TTC efforts, and maybe even help with my weight loss. I also did some reading and it said that women with PCOS have a MUCH lower risk of miscarriage when taking metformin VS not taking it. So that in itself brings some hope. I know I may not have bad PCOS, but I def know I have a mild version of it, and who knows if that has played any part in my losses...I have a sneaky feeling it does. How awesome would it be to finally get that take home baby after adding something so simple..and CHEAP to my list of meds! Here is hoping!! At the very least, it should make my Ovulation a bit better and hopefully stunt the growth of the nasty facial hair I seem to have now...freaking hormones!

Now, next stop, the acupuncturist on the 26th! Then the OBGYN, and  the RE....One down, 3 more appts to go!

What you should know if you are considering a tubal reversal

Its been 8 years. 8 years since we took a trip to NC to see DR. Montieth in Chapel Hill. I remember being so excited. I had this picture in my head of how it was going to go during, and after it all. For those of you who don't know, I had my tubes tied in 2009, after the birth of my 3rd, directly following a traumatic still birth. It was a decision made out of fear and trauma, not an informed decision. I ended up having adverse health issues (PTLS) after, and was desperate to find a solution. I stumbled upon a private chat room with others also struggling. Several had gone for a reversal, and seemed to feel so MUCH better after. I had already seen my doctor umpteen times, and they offered no solutions, and insinuated it was "in my head".... I saw all of these ladies posting the day OF surgery saying that they felt relief! I was like, "Yes, this is it!!"... So we saved the 6 Grand, and went and did the reversal. I was PUMPED. I started a blog, YouTube video and F...

Lost for words...

I have been a funk...Not really much to say that has not already been said before..I feel like such a broken record....But I guess I should start somewhere, and give a little update of some kind... I have posted a few picture quotes that reflects some of how I am feeling, but I cannot seem to articulate MY feelings right now, in a personal way that is comprehensible to others, and doesn't make me look like an ungrateful bitch... I guess I will start off by saying, we had another chemical this last cycle...( + test's at 6/7 dpo- 9 dpo, (I tested early cause I almost threw up while socially smoking a cigg and having a drink with my friend and I didnt temp so I didn't know really where my cycle was for sure) and by 10 dpo tests had faded some, and AF came the NEXT day, even while still taking 800 mgs of progesterone supps (which I did start late at 7dpo, the day I got my first positive but none the less), giving me a whopping 10 day LP...=/ Here is one of my FRER's f...

Ok...I may be on to something....

I am scared to even get a little excited.... I want to be elated right now...I do...But all I can think of are the "what if's"....I am going to try and stay as positive as possible, and keep saying over and over..."My body WILL carry this baby to term, I will have a take home baby!" Here is a pic ( below) of the dried test progression
