Been MIA for awhile

Hi Ladies!

So sorry.  There has been too much going on in my life for the past 1.5 months.  I have lurked a few times but couldn't bring myself to post.  I have been to stressed out and emotional.  I'm doing much better these days.

My G-Father is doing much better, but it has been a rough few months for him and our family.  He had a heart attack, then bypass surgery and now he is in recovery and it's looking very promising. Thank goodness!

On to the IF update;

The good....Dh and I met with our new RE.  LOVE him and his staff.  They all seem very friendly and caring.  It has been such an amazing, different experience from our old one, it's hard to put into words.  Even Dh liked him and that says a lot.  I feel very blessed to have met this Dr. and feel very positive that he is the one that will make our dreams of becoming pregnant/parents a reality. 

The bad....once I had my u/s done (my old RE never did these during a consult) the Dr. said you have PCO.  Say WHAT?  I have never heard nor talked about PCOS with any of my Dr's at any point in my life.  This was a big blow to me and I had a hard time accepting it for a good week and did a TON of research. He immediately prescribed Glumetza (metformin) for me, which I haven't started taking yet.  We are traveling to meet friends for sailing and a party next weekend and didn't want to have to deal with GI issues on a boat (since we will not be near land, if I had an emergency).

The ugly....22 cysts on my right ovary.  Ouch!  I just don't understand how my old RE, another Dr in that office and 3-4 RN/NP who all did u/s on me...total of 25-30 of them, never saw or said anything to me about this.  I was floored and still kind of am.   Our new RE now wants me to have a Hyst/Lap/OD all done together to clear up anything and everything.  This freaks me out, as I have never had any kind of surgery.  I have been put on a waiting list, hopefully it will be scheduled by the end of July or August.

So here we are in waiting and testing limbo again.  I kick myself for not going to this RE back in April of 2009.  I feel that we have wasted a year, a ton of money and lots of emotions for nothing.

If your still reading this, thank you and I apologize again for the length....I just had a lot of info to tell.  I hope to post more, to help others and learn more about IF with PCOS, now that it's just not MFI anymore that we are dealing with.

Congratulations to all the BFP!!!  Good luck to everyone else!!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!
