My ultrasound this morning was not good news. It looks like I have all the symptoms of PCOS, but not the hormone levels for it, at least as of 16 months ago. This cycle is a washout, and I'm going to need to go on to injectible fertility meds next month. I'm scheduling another test this week that will tell us whether or not we need to jump right to IVF.
Needless to say, this is NOT how I wanted to spend DH Kevin's birthday. I'm off to make a late birthday breakfast for him, and to break in our new waffle maker, but I am VERY glad that I medicated with retail therapy yesterday afternoon as a precaution against this morning's test, and that I have all the colors/fabrics worked out for my new piece.
Too bad that I want to drown myself in chocolate, but refined sugar is one of the things that needs to go if I do indeed have PCOS. No fairsies. At least fabric will still be allowed, even if I can never afford it again...
Susan, I'm sorry you're going through this... my husband and I struggled with similar issues and I know how hard the emotional roller coaster can be. It WILL work out eventually, you can be sure, but it's hard riding the waves up and down.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diane.
ReplyDeleteI've talked to my folks, and cancelled my part of our trip to England in June so I am home to cycle (since continuous cycles work better than stopping and starting again). I'm doing somewhat better now that I feel like we have a gameplan.
Thanks for the support... and you just KNOW that there is going to be some pretty cool art to come out of this, right? (happy sigh, since I DO know that this will all work out... )
Must be the week for bad ultrasounds! Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry Susan. I'm wishing you good luck and great success in the next phase. You never know what the future might hold. You're in my thoughts.
