The day has come and gone...
Well July 3 we went and saw our Fertility Endocrinologist Dr. Maud Doherty in Omaha. She was so so nice and we loved her! I have to admit I was very nervous because some of the things I read online said that she was short and didn't answer questions just sent you home with material. This was not the case at all! She would explain things then ask "questions?". She diagnosed me with PCOS. This wasn't really a shock to me because there was really no other condition I could see it being and it was actually a bit of a relief to have a name to my infertility! So Monday I started taking Metformin to get me ovulating or at least closer to ovulating then I am now. Prior to our appointment I took 30 ovulation tests and didn't get a single positive. So frustrating and expensive! She also put me on provera for 10 days to help jumpstart a cycle. After my next cycle I will go back for a sonogram of sorts to make sure there are no abnormalities in my uterus (I have had a polyp previously) and make sure at least one of my tubes is open. From there I will become a pin cushion from blood draws and potently injectables but right now it is one day at a time! I will be eating a low carb diet in conjunction to the metformin so I may feel like I am going to die some days! I love my carbs so much but I want to expand our family even more so I can do this! I will do this!
