So I had my 2nd doctor appointment this morning. She just talked to me about my bloodwork which was good except I have 2 hormones that are out of balance. And considering that with my other factors she determined that I do in fact have PCOS. Which I was expecting anyways but just to hear that it is definatley that is a little hard. She prescribed me Metformin which is usually prescribed to people that have diabetes. But has recently found that it helps women with PCOS. i will be taking that because of the insulin resistance in my body. Also because it helps get your hormones back in check, will also help me loose weight which is extremely difficult right now because no matter what I do I have zero energy.
Down sides to this medicine is that it'll make me sick and extremely irritable. Which if you ask Jason I don't really need help with that. =) I will be taking 750 mg twice a day. Hopefully I can remember. I go back on August 4th. Hopefully this medicine will help my body to ovulate. Otherwise I will be given Clomid which makes your body ovulate. I am mostly expecting that. And hopefully I will only have to do one round of it. So I am trying to stay optimistic and just take care of myself right now so that when I do get pregnant there will be less complications. i don't want to have a high risk pregnancy and I don't want to put my baby in danger.
So we are hoping that if everything goes well by September I will be pregnant.
