So today I went to the doctor AGAIN. This time to see the OB/GYN Dr. Anderson. I didn't have to pay a co-pay this time (sweet!). He pretty much explained to me what PCOS is. I just patiently listened to him. I didn't want to tell him I had looked up every website known to man over the past year and knew exactly what it was. Better to let him feel like the professional (feed the male ego. lol) He was very nice but I hope when I do get pregnant I can go back to seeing the midwife. Until then Dr. Anderson told me he wants to see me as my condition makes me higher risk :/
Instead of the Clomid he put me on Metformin. Honestly, I am A-OK with this :) The more I thought about the Clomid the more worried I was getting. Yes, I want to have a baby, but the thought of possibly being pregnant before the end of April was scaring me. Chris and I still have debt that needs to be paid and things to fix at the house. Plus, when you take Clomid your chances of a multiple birth goes up (1 in 10). Chris already has 4. Mary and Ethan are twins... We do not need twins. lol. If I can get ONE fat healthy baby I'll be happy.
So the doc wrote the prescription and told me he wants to see me every month for the next 3 months. The Metformin should stabilize my insulin, which in turn will help me lose weight, which in turn will hopefully allow me to naturally start my cycles again. I'm much happier with this. Maybe I'll get a bit more time without a bun in the oven and get some things done, and lose some weight so I'll be a healthier preggo when the time comes. I went and got the Metformin filled and started taking it today. So far so good.
AND the kids birthday party went great :) we didn't have many people from their elementary school come but I know with ball season and the fact it was on a Sunday didn't help, but it was great having our families together. What's most important is that the kids had a great time. The weather was great (I was afraid it would be too hot on Gabe) and the food was awesome, and the cake was even BETTER! The wind was even blowing hard enough to fly kites :) I go to pick up our pictures from TS Photography tomorrow! So glad I decided to have someone take pics, b/c I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off. It's just awesome knowing that the kids have sooo many people that care about them and love them :) They are four very lucky kiddos.
Well, I'm going to hop off here and get some rest. Busy day tomorrow. Going to start putting in some apps. Logans can kisssssss ittttttttt.
