I'm such a baby

I've been home sick since yesterday afternoon. I have bad cold/flu symptoms. I'm achy, dizzy, exhausted, and grumpy & I've had a fever for 3 days. To make matters worse I have AF. Thanks to the PCOS I don't have a pd on my own anymore and haven't in about 7 years. I take progesterone for 14 days every three months to lower my risk of endometrial cancer. The progesterone makes PMS symptoms worse, cramps, sore b00bs, etc. I feel sorry for any of you that have to take it for longer than 2 weeks!

On the TTC front, no news about R's blood work. We should know something early next week.

PCOS Sucks

I'm up way too late tonight. I have to work in less than 7 hours & really, I do know better than to stay up this late. I'm gearing up for the most fun of Dr's appointments. Yes, I know that R is the one that will be trying to carry our 1st child, but I'm headed to the OB/GYN tomorrow. My PCOS has gotten out of hand & I need to try some new meds. I've been on Provera for a few years and I'm getting tired of it. I don't think it's supposed to give me two periods per cycle, but it has. I also want to have the "I plan on trying to get pregnant in the next few years" talk. I know it's a little, ok...really, premature since I want to carry our 2nd child & we are still 1 week from our first time out of the gate for our 1st child, but my ovaries have a mind of their own. It may take at least 2 years of beating down on them with hormones before they even decide to release an egg. I figure if I get my cycles under control & get myself ovulating now it will be a lot easier in a few years to get pregnant. I've been doing some research on my own so I can be an informed consumer at the appointment tomorrow. R & I don't have the same doctor but we go to the same practice. She isn't comfortable with a male OB/GYN and sees a midwife instead. I really don't care and didn't really have a choice since I needed a PCOS specialist.
