Me Time

After my appointment with Dr. D last week, I did get my first 'script for Clomid. It's sitting here, on my counter, waiting for the right day to start taking it. What kinda scares me are some of the different blogs and discussion boards with other women TTC. A lot of them seem to have symptoms associated with the drugs. I do NOT need more moodswings! Poor Steve!

Plus, a lot of these women are on a lot higher doseages of the meds. Dr. D doesn't think a woman needs to be stuffed so full of drugs!

This is month 12 in our TTC #2 journey.

For the past 3 days, I've felt as though I've had my period. But - there was nothing. I even woke up early Wednesday morning from the cramps that were so bad. Yesterday, I finally had some spotting and was beyond tired in the evening. Today, full on heavy AF with the usual ache in my lower back and legs. Still really drained, but am up to eat breakfast so I can go see Dr. T, my PCOS doc.

Speaking of Dr. T, I feel as though she's been neglecting me. Seriously. She upped my metXR RX to 2000mg a day and never had me back for bloodwork or a check up in the 6 months since she upped me. She was of the mindset that I would be preggers and not need to come back. Well Hello! Guess I fooled her! PCOS symptoms are getting much worse - won't go into details b/c just brings me down, but just take my word for it.

So, Dr. T and I will be having a chat today. I'm trying to figure out if I need to switch to a reproductive endocrinologist who treats not only the entire insulin resistence part of the PCOS, but also the horrid periods, acne, mood swings thing that goes right along with it.

Decisions.

I guess we'll just wait and see how this appointment goes. Seriously - can she up my meds anymore? I'm already on the high end of recommended doseage!

I'll keep you updated! And please, if it's not too greedy of me, please pray for me - not necessarily that I get preggers, but that we can get this PCOS beast under control and I can get back in charge of my life!
