Dr. C

I was thrilled to finally be able to go in to see Dr. C and see what he thought was going on.  I went to my appointment with my lab results from Dr. L.  When I got to the office, I went back for my stats and urine test right away.  I gave the nurse all my lab work and waited patiently.

Next, I was called back into the U/S room.  There was an intern who went over my history and what was going on while we waited for Dr. C.  When he came in we chatted and he performed the U/S.  While performing the U/S he showed and explained everything to me.  He was able to see both ovaries and it was not painful AT ALL!!!  I was so happy!  He told me I have a wonderful uterus (yay!).  He also told me my right ovary looked clear, but my left had approximately 14 cysts on it.  This makes sense from what the previous U/S showed.  He also mentioned that my lining was thick and he thought that I might start my AF in the next few days.

After the U/S I got dressed and Dr. C came back in to talk about our next steps.  He really put me at ease with everything because he waited for me to ask questions and he was very easy to talk to.  He has had many women at his practice who have successfully gotten pregnant with PCOS.  He also spoke of family members that have gone through the same struggles.

All in all, he put me on 1000mgs of Metformin XR, gave me a prescription of Provera to induce AF (if it didn't show up in a few days), and a prescription for 100mgs of Clomid.  He said that because of my age (32) he would like me to try to get pregnant with my first within the year and try for as many more as I would like in the next 5 years.  Of course, who knows what will happen.  Hopefully the meds will work and we will get pregnant soon.

I left the office so incredibly happy!  I finally felt like I was in the hands of someone who truly cared about my well-being.
