It's official. Today I found out, based on my blood panel and glucose test results, that I have Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome. I have been operating under the assumption that that is exactly what I had but now it has been confirmed. After a year of trying naturally, a year and a half of trying with Metformin and now an official diagnosis from my new OB doc, I am happy to finally have some answers and a plan.
Don't get me wrong, I am not excited about the diagnosis. I have already grieved for the loss of an "oops" or "it just happened" pregnancy but I am excited to be on a path to hopeful success in expanding my family. Dr. Weatherford seems to be the perfect match for us and our pregnancy journey. I met him for the first time on June 21st when Troy and I went in for our first consult. He seemed knowledgeable, listened to my input and concerns and gave great feed back. I didn't feel rushed and I felt understood considering he delivered the news about my first two pregnancies over the phone to me without even meeting me first. He took me in as an "established" patient to be able to send me to get labs to find out what was going on with me.
So the plan is to get my period, up my Metformin meds to 2x a day instead of only once, and get on Clomid. This will help me with ovulation and getting pregnant. I have read a ton blogs about other women's experiences and I know that this isn't a quick fix. I am sure I have many heart breaks and disappointment in my future but for now I am just excited to know what path I am on.
I know for sure that I am not excited about the monthly exams I am going to have... but I am hopeful that it will be all worth it!
