Well, we did it. We went to the fertility doctor. It was ok, well better than I thought I guess. Casey seemed to be at ease about the whole thing. I was really worried about him. When we left I was SO overwhelmed with everything that they were telling us. I cannot seem to remember much of anything. I do know that they think I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) which I think was somewhat good information. What I mean by good is that maybe we have an answer. The PCOS is keeping me from getting pregnant as well as making me gain weight. PCOS is a release of insulin and testosterone, which is the weight gain and it also means that I have cyst on my ovaries, keeping me from getting pregnant. So the doctor has put me on a diabetic medication called glucophage. Hopefully this will break up the cyst and help with the insulin release. We go back to the doctor on December 30th to see if the medicine is working as well as the next steps. They want to talk more about the IUI. They think Casey and I would be good candidates for this type of procedure. So we are trying to be positive about everything. Hoping that 2010 will be a great year!
On another note...Casey and I will be leaving for New York City on Christmas morning. He has planned the whole trip for Christmas and my 30th birthday. He rocks!!
