Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day

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 (progesteron...

Here I am!

Hey everyone! It has been a long while since I have written anything at all. I think I say that each time?

The next thing is, the death of Michael Jackson, Now,...

Hip Dysplasia

At Elliot's 3rd well baby visit her pediatrician discovered a click in her left hip. He said that it could be nothing, but we should get it checked out and he referred us to an orthopedic surgeon at a children's hospital 3 hours away. We had our first appointment with the orthopedic surgeon at the end of July and sure enough he diagnosed her with left hip dysplasia. He assured us it was a common thing and can be treated. The first step in our treatment plan was a Pavlik Harness. This is the actual picture shown on the packaging of the harness. Me and my husband thought "well that baby is happy, it can't be that bad"...wrong! The nurse put it on her and she screamed her head off the whole way through! Then they decided that one was too small and took it off and put a bigger one on her. Oh, it was terrible she was screaming, I was crying.
