what happened next

anyway, i went in for the dye test, and i tell you what. That test needs a disclaimer. Its incredibly unomfortable -_-;;; but turns out i have a polyp in my uterus, ><. when it rains it pours i suppose.

The follow up appt to the dye test was god aweful. I brought my mother along, she's my resident doctor, lol. I call her concerning all things medical, since she's in that field. But she drove all the way up here from Ohio, just to ask the doctor questions about PCOS. It was like talking to a brick wall. every question we asked he gave yes or no answers. I asked what my husbands sperm count was and he went into a ten minute lecture on what was wrong with his sperm >.> I still don't know what the count was lol. He also didn't want to do anything with the polyp that was blocking my ovary, he wanted to just ignore it -_-. which i guess, greatly increases my chance of entropic ( i think thats what its called) pregnancy. But anyway i was so fed up towards the end i wanted a new Dr, and low and behold he pushed me off to another Specialist. so then i had to wait another month just to get into these people.


waiting wouldn't be to bad, except I'm trying really hard to get pregnant before my husbands deployment. which is in october. and i wasn't getting into Dr. Kiltz' office till july -_-. Mind you i started this in april.

anyway absolutly LOVE this new dr's office. they were so helpful, and told me a lot about PCOS and what goes along with it. Turns out i should have been on medication for it Months ago. So now i'm taking Glumetza ( metformin) for my insulin resistance, and synthroid for a slightly abnormal thyroid. Its a crazy amount of glumetza, 2000 mgs a day, but its Extended release, so my side effects are about nil. Except when i eat too many carbs -_- then i spend the day getting to know the bathroom by memory ;) But i'm learning, mostly by trial and error what are good carbs, bad carbs and how much of each i can eat a day. Right now we're waiting to see if my periods regulate, with just metformin alone.

Oh and i also have surgery this tuesday, a laproscopy, hyster-something or other, ovarian drilling ( sounds worse then it is) and to get the polyp removed. Its a day surgery and i'll be out the same day. but i will be intibated, and i'm scared :( But Ovarian drilling alone has a 50ish % succcess rate of pregnancy within the first year. and OH we get a military discount on freezing Jonny's little men :D sooooo i'll get to keep trying after he leaves. Now the rumors on who i slept with when he was gone, is a whole 'nother story. But we know the truth and thats all that matters :D

well thats about as up to date as i can get on the fertility battle. Now we can get ti everyday posting, like how jonny's unit is crazy -_- but thats for a later date :)
