Pills...pills...more pills?!

As I mentioned a while back, I went to the OB/GYN doctor on the fourth of August. He ran some blood work to see my progesterone, FSH and LH levels.They all came back showing the classic signs of PCOS. But, I have a great doctor and he is determined to get me ovulating regularly. He says I obviously don't have a problem getting pregnant, since I've been there twice before, it's just my ovulation is out of whack. Yes, I said twice before. In February we found out that I was pregnant again, four days later I lost it. I was only five weeks along. We didn't tell our families just a few close friends. Anyway, after the test results came back my doctor started me on Metformin. I've heard of women with PCOS taking this because of insulin resistance and it helps them to regulate, but he told me that it would help decrease the risk of a miscarriage. So I started that on the eleventh. Aunt flow decided not to show up this month so he prescribed me Prometrium (progesterone hormone) to induce the monthly visitor. I started that on the thirteenth. I've been on this before to induce aunt flow so I could be put on birth control and let me tell you, you don't want to be around me, I get pretty..well...hormonal I guess you could say lol.Last, but not least is the Clomid! yay! I start the first round tomorrow, day five of my cycle. I take it through days five and nine. Than I get more blood work a week or so later to see if everything is working. So of course being the freak that I am I set out and have Googled for the good part of last night about success stories on Clomid and how many rounds it usually takes. I have read about women getting pregnant on round one, but the most promising so far is the third it looks like. But, I'm hoping since I don't have a problem getting pregnant that it will be the first round.Everyone keep your fingers crossed!

  1. Please email me if you have any questions. I'm no expert of course but have a few funny stories. Just an offer to chat if needed...heatherbowe@gmail.com

    Thanks for keeping up with my blog all this time. I think of you often after reading your story (I read it long ago and have - sort of creepily I suppose - checked in on you to see how you were.) Sometimes there's just nothing to say that will mend things if you ask me. Anyhow, I am wishing you the very best, most successful happy and beautiful pregnancy you could dream of!

    xo, best wishes, Heather

Curious?

Ever been curious about Beachbody programs, but are on the fence about going all in?  To be honest, I was too in the beginning!  But, I've created this page on Facebook called "Snoop Group".  It's all about the program I am currently doing and you can get in inside look at the program, prices, the time it takes and all the juicy deets. All that's needed is to just like the page and sit back and watch!  Are we friends on Facebook?  Look it up and check it out! Not friends?  That's okay, it's open to whomever! 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 Snoop Group Page

A Few Words

The last 24-hours have proven how quick things can take a turn. Please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers as we have suffered a loss very recently. Thank you...

Back from Florida

I am happy to say that I am home! I have been for about a week now, but I haven't had enough energy to sit in front of the computer and try to put together something interesting for you all. Florida was fun, a bit chilly, but way better than the below zero temperatures home, here in Illinois. Before leaving for Florida everyone insisted on informing me that "it's going to be cold down there". Now, why would you not just want to be happy for someone going on a vacation? Why would you want to try and convince someone that they are going to have a terrible time? I just kept saying "warmer than here!" and called them jealous under my breath. Despite all the comments about the weather I had a great time sleeping in every morning and taking my time getting around and not having to worry about anything except what I was going to eat that day for a whole entire week! It was in the 50s during the day at the beginning of the trip and gradually warmed up through ...
