So I have started taking the Meformin, but I have had a horrible two weeks. After getting over bronchitis I started passing a kidney stone. I was hurting for awhile before I decided to go to Urgent care. I was there a little while when they decided to send me to the ER so that they could do a CT Scan. They found out I had a stone that was too big to pass on its own. So i was scheduled for surgery on Wednesday, 05/21/08. Surgery went well and I am recovering nicely. I feel much better, just very sore.
So with all that is going on I have barely noticed the side effects of the Metformin. I am hoping to start trying soon. I am on day 17 of my cycle so I pretty much think that my window for ovulation has passed. I guess we will just hope for a better cycle next cycle.
I have been thinking about all my missed babies a lot lately. I can't wait to have my angel to hold in my arms. I miss them dealy even though I never really knew them. 5 years and there might be an end in sight. A light at the end of the tunnel.

So after years of irregular AF. I have only started AF once on my own three times, every other time I have had to take Provera. I started on my own yesterday!! I have not started taking the Metformin yet, because I am taking steroids and antibiotics for my bronchitis. I am so very very happy. I guess we are back to TTC again. Feels good to be back.
I went to the doctor today to get a breathing treatment for my asthma. In the past two weeks I have lost 21 pounds!!! Yay me! I'm so happy. I have been doing weight watchers and slim fast. When I dont have time to count points I just drink a shake and that is 4 points. I've also been walking and doing a workout dvd. I am so very very happy. When I start Metformin hopefully that will help me lose a whole lot more. Tomorrow I'm going to the Dietitian at the BVW Clinic, & I will start the special diet for PCOS. I am thinking it will be kind of like the Diabetic Diet. Wish me luck!!!

Well my new doctor's office just called and guess what!!! I have PCOS!!! OMG!! Years of being told I dont have it and yep I do. They got the results of my blood test and my blood sugar and cholesterol are good, but my insulin was really high. So they are putting me on Glucophage for a month then if I tolerate that pretty well I will start the Femara in a month. This is the biggest freaking relief of my entire life. My other doctor was treating me for the wrong stuff. I should have never ever been given clomid. now I get a chance to set it right!!! I am so so happy. like crying happy. I may actually get my baby!!! I had given up hope completely! Thank you Misty for not letting me give up!
I am completely reeling from this. I have been overweight my entire life and always had trouble with my periods no matter what weight I was. I always thought it was something that was my fault and now I find out it's not all my fault! I have something that causes it. The fact that my previous doctor didnt even try to diagnose it or give me medicene for it is just disgusting to me. I can not believe that someone could be that hateful to another person that they would think that not telling them they have PCOS would make them do what they want. Plus the thousands we wasted on fertility treatments. omg My baby could be a reality. wow

So even though I wrote down the appointment date and time right after I made it last time, somehow we mixed it up somehow. This is the 3rd time this had happened to me with this new doctor. The first time I caught her making the appointment mistake, the next I caught it when they called to remind me, this time I totally missed it. So I had to reschedule my appointment for another day. May 15th at 11 am. We will see how that goes. I am glad to have the extra time. I am trying really hard to be more healthy. Tina and I are jogging/walking/running every night almost. I am also trying to eat fewer calories. So far I feel better. I think most of the feeling better is from giving up fast food though. Tina and I made a pact and gave up fast food and I really have never felt better. So we will see what the doctor says at my appointment. If I am healthy then I will probably start the Femara this time, if not then I will wait until the end of summer.

The weather is so very pretty. I love spring and all the beautiful flowers. It seems like it was a really long winter. I went this morning and had my blood drawn for my blood tests. I made an appointment for in two weeks hoping my results will be ready and we can talk about them then. So April 24th at 9:45. This time last year I was doing injections and getting ready for my second IUI. I was so hopeful. I think now I am just numb. I had come to terms with never having a baby and the possiblility of having one at this point is terrifying. If you ever have that dream where you can see and hear everything that is going on but you can not move to do anything. Thats how this feels, I feel so much in my heart that it's almost bursting open. I want so badly to have a baby and to be able to give that to my husband but I feel paralyzed. I just can't bring myself to take the pills and go through all that again. I know the sacrafice is worth the end result, but it's the sacraficing that hurts & how much you have to give up of yourself along the way.

So, deep breath, I scheduled my blood work for Thursday at 9:30. When we get the results from that we will go from there. James is still gone with work and I miss him tons. We haven't really gotten a chance to talk about the new drugs. I still haven't decided what I want to do, but I guess I will know more after the blood work comes back.
