So much for posting every week. But at least it hasn't been a month yet..
Wednesday was our appointment with the specialist. I had been warned that she didn't have the best bed-side manner and was very blunt, so I was prepared for the worst. However, it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. At least her behaviour. The results, not so much.
It looks like I might have PCOS. She suspects my weight gain, mild hair growth, heavy cycles are the result of PCOS. I have no clue. She sent me for alot of bloodwork that I've had done before, but we'll see what happens. It would be nice to get a diagnosis for the infertility, and then we can start with meds. Not sure what will happen if the tests are inconclusive.
She also examined hubby and he has some more issues than we thought he did. His blood pressure was pretty high and he has something wrong with one of his testes. So, he'll be going off to a doc and getting that checked out.
My challenge is my weight. She won't do any treatments until I lose some weight. So, I'm giving myself the rest of the weekend to "be bad" and then starting Monday, I am going to make more careful and good choices. She's given me an almost impossible goal for our next appointment, but I'm going to do all I can. If it postpones our treatment for a couple of months until I get to the right weight, it will only pay off in the end for my health. (So, I guess we start obsessing. :) )
I'm coming to grips with it all, but still have moments/minutes/hours of intense emotion where I feel quite hopeless/helpless. I have no idea if we will ever have our much wanted child, but we will work together to see if we can make our dream come true.
The current excitment in our life is that we have bought a house. :) Well, it's almost ours. We are still having a bit of an issue with the bank, but we have verbal approval and we just need the written approval which we should have on Monday. We get possession in December. Woot woot.
Oh, and my sister is due today! But no action yet. I can't wait to be an auntie again... (for the 3rd time).
Signing off as I want to start planning food for this week. We have our work cut out for us.
