Me Time (Part 2)

The day is coming to a close. I'm curled up in bed under my quilts and feather comforter. My adorable little Miss Mia is curled up beside me, reliving the excitement of the day in her dreams. I am going to try to remember all that Dr. T. told me . . .

It began with her being 45 minutes late . . . and I was her first appointment.

I did not have a good mindset when she came in. Sorry, but 45 minutes late when the weather was beautiful and the roads were perfect is just beyond rude. So, when she walked in, I wasn't my usual, perky, chit chatty self. I think she realized that. She went through the thick folder containing all of my blood work, etc. She told me that two of the levels were high, the TSH and DHEA (I'm guessing on the second, not 100%). My thyroid hormones were all on the high side of normal. So, she said it was definite that I had PCOS and Hashimoto's. She was going to continue treating the Insulin Resistance part of PCOS, but there was nothing to be done with the Hashimoto's as the levels were still within "normal" range.

She was most upset with my weight - and the fact I actually gained a pound since July (seriously, I think I'm the same as then. Hello, wearing heavy sweater over shirt with jeans and heavy winter shoes. Summer, I just had on jeans, tshirt and sneakers). But, beside the whine on my end, she emphasized a few times that I need, need NEED to lose weight.

She was on board with Dr. D prescribing the Clomid. She did tell me to call ASAP should I get preggers b/c she'll need to start running thyroid checks monthly b/c it could be a potentially life-threatening situation for the babe. Also, with my dose of meds being so high (she increased to the absolute max of 2500), they might want to take me off for the first trimester and then put me back on after. I'm praying that doesn't happen. I'd like to have second pregnancy to be med free, just like the first.

I took my first 2500 dose tonight. Feeling it. Got the woozy headache. As soon as I post this, I'm turning off the lights and going to sleep.

I know there is more that we talked about today, but cannot recall the entire conversation at present. I'll make an update later this weekend if I remember more.
