my visit to the doctor this morning went well. i explained my weight loss issue, and she immediately asked if i’ve had problems with my period. funny she should mention it since i missed this month too. she said it’s probably a combination of the pcos and the prednisone i’m on. she gave me a prescription for an amphetamine to kick start my metabolism and glucophage, which i’d been on before, for the pcos. it should help me get pregnant, too, so send good vibes my way.
it was nice to hear that i’m not doing anything wrong. she said the calorie range i’m eating in is correct and that i’m doing the right amount of exercise. she also is checking my thyroid and is testing all my hormone levels to confirm the pcos and to make sure i’m ovulating. isn’t it interesting how my pcp can do those tests but my obgyn can’t? i’m glad the glucophage should help in the pregnancy department, but it sucks to have to wait another month until i (hopefully) have my period.
It sounds like your dr.is on top of her game. I hope she can find some definite answers for you & that what she’s doing helps. Sending good vibes your way 🙂 Good luck!
just to let ya know there is a time realised gluc that seems to help lots of women that have pcos… but did she tell you that as soon as you find out you are pregnant to quit taking it? But, I am so glad you have finally gotten some answers!! Good luck hun!!
Sounds like a really helpful visit! Isn’t it nice to actually get decent medical care?
Hope the new drug works!
I’m so glad that you got some answers!!! I hope that next month is IT for you guys and that you’ll have positive pregnancy news soon. Good luck! Hooray for a good doctor’s appointment!
I’m so excited that you guys are trying to have a baby!!! YAY! And it’s awesome that your doc seemed to know right away what was wrong and that it’s totally not related to anything you are doing. Sending good vibes to you!
I’m so glad you got some answers!!!
I love my OB, but I’ve learned one thing from my experiences and the experiences of other bloggers (mostly infertile couples)….OB/GYNs are good for two things…1) Doing your annual exam, 2) Delivering babies. They don’t seem to have time for much else.
