So, I probably shouldn't be writing right now, I should be doing billing notes...but I've got some things on my mind that I want to share. I know I don't update often and my daily life gets so full that I usually just come home and relax. I'm not good at calling people to let them know what's going on with me and I don't really get calls from people often who inquire so I usually just come home and unload on Justin, and he unloads on me (ew, not in a dirty way). Lately, Justin and I have been going to the gym, so that is good and I can tell it's helping me with some stress release during the week. Anyway, Here are some updates on the baby front:

I saw my new OB on the 16th. It was a kind of lack luster meeting, she is not as pleasant as my last OB but she seems to know her ish. I left that meeting feeling kind of bummed, missing my old doctor, and being frustrated that she told me the same thing that every doctor since I was 12 told me..."well, if you lose some weight...". It's frustrating. Anyway, she gave me a prescription for Metformin and Spironolactone. Metformin is a medication for diabetics, but it seems to help women with PCOS a great deal and Spironolactone is a blood pressure medication that also seems to help women with PCOS regulate their blood pressure while reducing hair growth...hmm, who would have known? lol So, I started taking the meds that evening. The doctor also told me that she would like me to get a hysterosalpingogram, which is an xray where they put dye in my lady parts and see if everything is functioning well (no blockage in the fallopian tubes, etc). She told me that I would have to induce a period with provera(since I NEVER have one unless I do) and then schedule the procedure, yeah, they want you ON your period while they do it...I'm still curious how that's going to work...anyway, I was going to wait until the 1st (today) to start taking the provera, but my body had another plan. I actually started a period last Friday...all on my own! (okay, the metformin probably helped). It was pretty exciting, I thought about posting it on Facebook, but refrained. LOL I called my mom instead. So, since Monday I've been trying to schedule and it was getting frustrating because my doctor kept putting the referral in wrong...it was finally approved by my insurance yesterday and I called to schedule and they say "well, because you started your period on Friday, we have to schedule it for Thursday or the latest Friday, and, we don't have any openings, you may have to wait until next month, hold on." I almost started to cry but she came back and said 'Our radiologist will do it on Friday at 9:30". Woo...so, this Friday at 8:30 I have to go to my OB's office, get a pregnancy test and have them clear me...then go to the radiology center and get dye put in my whoha...weird. They say some women cramp and experience discomfort. I'm not looking forward to it, especially because I have to go to work afterward, but I'll live, I'm sure.

After we get results from that test,not sure how long it will take, we'll know if we can move forward with clomid. Honestly the most stressful part of this process has been scheduling and referrals...Everything is all good in the hood and I'm just glad things are moving forward. :)

Justin let me know that a very good friend of mine has expressed concern. I want that friend to know that I am doing okay, I am not depressed or totally stressed about the baby making, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE hearing about other ppls babies, especially my boys! Every time I get pictures or tid bits it brings a HUGE smile to my face. I may not always respond, because I hate texting and I'm usually driving then I forget...but I usually share the pictures I get with Justin and it really makes my day. :) Keep em comin! *HUGS*

Okay, now I reallly need to get to work.
