Well, today is officially the start of our parental journey. Something I’ve been putting aside for a long time now—addressing the subject of my apparent infertility. I went to an OB/GYN for the first time in nearly 15 years and it looks like I have PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). Waiting for results from my pap smear and blood work for confirmation. I need to ask about the ultrasound of my ovaries as well.
Dr. Knodel has put me on Meformin HCL which is supposed to address insulin resistance. If all the tests check out okay (including Brian’s sample) then the next step is to put me on some type of fertility medication to help get my hormones straightened out and stimulate my ovaries.
This is all quite daunting and overwhelming, and much more consuming than I ever thought it would be. I know myself too well...I start thinking of all the possibilities, what could happen (good or bad) and before long I’ve worked myself up into a tizzy. I will start charting my temperature again via fertilityfriend.com. I am resolved to not becoming one of those women so all consumed with getting pregnant that I drive my husband crazy and wreak havoc on my marriage. On the other hand, I do want to utilize all available resources that I possibly can.
So that’s where we stand. Let's see where this ride takes us...
