Long time, no Blog...

I really am still alive! I promise. I could give several reasons why I haven't been on, but that's boring. This is the straight to the point reason I am back...
I started this Blog when Jeff and I were starting out Journey with Fertility, and we took a 'break' from going to the Dr. Well, I did anyway. It's hard to admit that I have to go see a specialist for this reason. Anyway. Jeff and I went back to see the Dr. at the beginning of November. So, back to the Journey, back to the Blog. . .
Last time I went to the Dr, he told me I didn't have PCOS, but that I did have PCOS like symptoms. How does someone have the symptoms, but not the syndrome? Anyway, this Dr. said I DO have PCOS. In fact, I have some of the most cystic ovaries he's seen. Not to encouraging I might add. Looking at my labs, and ultrasound, he said we can do this, but it will take a lot of work. Yes, I was more encouraged by this statement.The Dr. said I am insulin resistant. Basically, this is the opposite of being diabetic, but just as bad, and harmful to my body. My body over produces insulin, but doesn't realize it's there, so the insulin doesn't get used. The Dr. put me on a SUPER strict diet, much like the one I was on last year. No carbs, sugars, or really, not much of anything. I am able to eat meat, and above ground veggies. Oh yum right?! This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do! I mean, I LOVE food, and I LOVE sweets! But, I have to remember this is for the better. This is so I can give my husband a child. If I am not able to do this, that would be so selfish of me. I have to do this for my health, and my family. I am also on a medication (used for diabetics) that should help my sugar (insulin) production. With this, and not eating sugar, should pretty much help right? The Dr. is having me do this diet for 3 months, and we'll be going back on Valentines Day for our next appointment. (You'd think this is a bad date for Valentines Day, but with taking the Med hours for my appointment, I will then have the evening off, and we can date... pretty smart, right?) So, I'm not sure what to expect at the next appointment, but overall, Jeff and I are pretty optimistic this time around. I'm sure, not too long from now (a couple years) we will reach our goal of becoming parents.
