Tada....It's not PCOS!

Today was my visit with the fertility specialist...or reproductive endocrinologist. But I will get into that in a little bit.

Knowing that my appointment wasn't until 2, I decided to go back to my old child care center I worked at and visit. I knew that there wouldn't be a lot of people there because of it being a holiday week, but I really wanted to see most of my old kids. Man...most of them are two. When I left my center 7 months ago...there were barely 18 months. Now they are in the 2 year old rooms....and SO BIG.
I am very happy for two of my old coworkers as they are now pregnant. I can't say that I wasn't a little jealous...but it will happen.

Onto the good news...sort of.

I went and sat down with the doctor. He asked me several questions...mainly about my cycles and about my prior pregnancies (1). He asked me if I had been diagnosed with something and I told him that I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 19. He asked who diagnosed me and I said that it was my GYNO...that she said I had it because of the extra hair growth.
After the question and answer session we did the internal ultrasound. IT was so cool!! I got to see both of my ovaries and uterus. He said the uterus looks fine. He showed me the left and the right ovaries. IT was really neat. He was pleasantly surprised to see a growing follicle on my right ovary. This means that I am gonna ovulate in the next 3-5 days.
After the ultrasound he sat down and talked with me. He said that our next step is testing. This means that Jai needs to give a seamen sample and I have to get a butt-load of blood work done. Because I am in the middle of my cycle, I can't do anything  until next cycle. I need to have a blood test done on CD3 to determine if my egg reserves are good. Then after that the doctor wants to do an HSM. This is where they inject dye into my fallopian tubes to see if there is any blockages. This would be done on CD 12 and needs to be done at the hospital.
He believes that because I have a normal cycle and ovulate...that I don't have PCOS. IT is more the fact that I am overweight that is causing something not to happen and for us not to become pregnant. So he suggested that I lose 25 lbs over the course of the next 4 months and from there see what happens.

So overall the news is encouraging. Even though I am still overweight...I will STILL be trying. I know women who have gotten pregnant at far greater weights than I have. :D

So we will see what happens...
