Update

Well, some things have happened since my last update.

We thought I was pregnant.  We were soo excited.  I had so many symptoms and I was very late…but all my tests came back negative.  So I went to my OBGYN, and after a few blood tests, discovered I have Polycysitc Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).  And no, there is no cure.  This is a hereditary disease.

This pretty much means that I have cysts on my ovaries, along with ALL of my hormones being messed up, it’s why I’ve been gaining weight and am having a VERY hard time losing it, it causes my acne, and also messes with my insulin tolerance.

My amazing doctor has put me on Provera to start my cycle and then I’ll begin the Clomid (fertility pills).  Hopefully it will only take the first cycle of Clomid for me to get pregnant, but we’ll see.  There is just so much involved in trying to get pregnant.

I finished my last dose of Provera yesterday, and the side effects are terrible.  The fatigue, mood swings, and cramps are awful, but it’s just something I have to deal with.

I never in my wildest dreams thought I would have to take fertility meds.  I always thought when I was ready to have a baby it would happen.  Some days I’m ok with my diagnosis, and other days I’m heartbroken and upset.  My husband has been incredibly supportive, and I couldn’t go through this without him.

I’ll have more updates later.  If you have any questions or suggestions, they are welcome.  Keep me in your prayers!
