Clomid Round 2 Update
Today was my ultrasound. I responded to the uped dosage of clomid! There was only one good follicle thought so if we don't get pregnant this time, they will up the dosage for next time. It was still 4mm smaller then what they'd like but the Dr said if it grows at the normal rate, then it would be ready on Tuesday. So Tuesday I will go in and get the trigger shot and cross our fingers that Josh's boys don't get lost on the way :)

In 7 short hours...
I will be in the Dr's office to check for follicle growth this month. I'm so nervous I don't know how I am going to sleep. I really hope that the Clomid worked better this month.
I'm still only taking 500mg of the metformin. I can't get the dosage up without feeling sick. I will have to talk to her about that tomorrow.

Last Clomid pill tonight
I took my last Clomid pill for this cycle tonight. I'm feeling postivie about this month. Even if we don't make a baby, I am at peace knowing what the problem is and that there is a way to "fix" me.
My ultrasound to check for follicle growth is Friday. Help me pray they get big & strong :)

Clomid Round 1 update
Well, After being 5 days late and 2 negative HPT's. AF finally decided to grace me with her presence. I am sad to be out of the running this month. But I am happy to have gotten my period on my own!
I will start an uped dosage of clomid on Wednesday, and have my midcycle ultra sound to check for follicle growth again.
Here's to a new cycle!
On the PCOS front, I can't take the metformin 3x. It makes me crazy sick. For now, I am taking it once and will try to work up to the higher dosage.
On the weight loss - Since starting my diet/excersise plan, I have lost 8.2 pounds. It's finally coming off!

My monthly is a no show and has been since late January. Since this is the second time this has happened here, they gave me an OB consult to try and figure out what is going on. So on the 18th, I go in to have a PAP so that by my OB appointment on the 23rd, they will have the results so that they can rule something if not anything out as to why I am still not having my period.
I just had my thyroid levels checked and they are still normal so we know it isn't that now which is good.
April 8th 2009
Today was my OB appointment to get the fertility treatment ball rolling. At least we have a plan now. She thinks I have PCOS (poly-cystic ovary syndrome). She ordered all the testing for that. Also, she believes that since I get my period on birth control, that it is not my thyroid causing my periods to go MIA. She also wants me to see a nutritionist since I am actively trying to get this extra weight off and it won't budge.
She has given me Provera to jump start my cycles and she will be doing some testing on CD3. Depending on those results, we will decide where to go from there.
May 14th 2009
My appointment this morning didn't go so well. The only lab work that came back was the TSH for my thyroid and Josh's SA. The others get mailed to the states and they aren't back yet. So it was pointless for me to go in. She said she would like to wait it out and see if I get my period on my own. Um, Newsflash lady! Every period that I've had for the last year has been medically induced. I am NOT going to have one on my own. Then she tells me that while she is happy to see that I've started a diet and have been going to the gym more, that she would like to see me add one more gym session a week. I already go 4 times a week! Plus I walk the dog, keep up with the house, and in order to make a baby, I actually have to spend time with my husband. Imagine that!
Oh & Did I mention she is Pregnant!?
May 28th 2009
So my Dr just called me. My labs are finally back. My thyroid levels are normal, My FSH is normal. and my testosterone levels are normal. WTF is wrong with me? She said my cycles were the only problem and she doesn't know why they are so long.
She put in for another roud of Provera to induce AF, then a round of Clomid. Then she will do an ultrasound to check follicle growth. If we have a good follicle, then I will get a hCG shot to trigger ovulation, Then comes the fun part.

So, as I figured. Not this month. So now we wait to see if AF shows on her own. My doctor said most women who take a round of clomid have a period on their own. I have to wait 4 weeks. If no AF or a positive HPT then She will prescribe another round of provera. She said there is still the posibility of getting pregnant this month. But the chances are very low.
And the results are finally in. I do infact have PCOS. Now I have to take metformin 3x a day..
