Now What?

After learning the results of my tests, J and I had to decide what to do next.  We really to have a baby but felt like when we start meds, there was no going back.  So, after talking about it a lot, we decided to go ahead with the Clomid.  Dr. L prescribed 50mg for days 5-9.  I felt a bit uncomfortable with it because I still wasn't sure of the "diagnosis" and the fact that she prescribed the Clomid like candy. 

As the days and weeks went on, I was anxiously awaiting my ever faithful AF so that we could begin the Clomid.  A month came and went.  When I was about a week late I was very nervous.  I had never, ever, ever been that late.  I took a few HPTs just to check (even though there was virtually no chance of pregnancy).  They were all negative.  So I called Dr. L's office to see if I should go in.  They told me to wait another week.  Well, that sent me through the roof.  I had already been on the fence about the way she was handling my case and then when I know there must be something wrong they tell me to wait another week.  UGH!  I was through. 

I immediately started looking for another DR.  I was debating if I should try an RE or just an OB/GYN.  I knew that an RE would be pushing for IUIs and IVFs and I am against having those.  So, I decided to find an OB/GYN.  It happened to be Spring Break for me (I am a First Grade teacher), so I had time on my hands to do some research.  I scoured the internet for info on local DRs.  I wanted someone who has had a track record and really understands PCOS.  It took a while, but I found Dr. C.  I ended up having to wait for over a week for an appointment for him, but I felt it was worth it. 

During this whole time I had been feeling just awful.  I was terrified about what might be going on with my body.  I was so incredibly bloated (which I had never really been bloated all that much in my life).  I was just miserable and wishing & hoping for my AF to come!!
