New Years
I went to the doctor on Tuesday. I was so busy at work on Wednesday that I actually forgot to go downstairs and get my ultrasound, but my blood levels were good so I am not too concerned. My OBGYN thinks that I have Poly-Cystic Ovarian Disease (PCOS), which I have thought for awhile but he would not give me that diagnosis. He told me that as soon as I get to my desired weight he will put me on Clomid (a drug used to get pregnant). So who knows what will happen. It still makes us nervous to get pregnant again. I know Heavenly Father has given us two perfect angels, but we REALLY want a child that still needs to learn something here. It does not matter whether that is through adoption or pregnancy; really all that matters is just a healthy baby that we can have for a long time (a lot longer then 5 or 7 weeks!) Anyways, started the diet, so I will see what the next 21 days brings. I am getting a running start on my New Years goal to get healthy and lose weight! I hope too that our family will grow this next year. Those are my two hopes for 2009.

Hey, we hung out with Kat and John last night and I told them that we should have called you guys. Man I wished we would have. How was New Years? And sorry to hear about what your OBGYN told you, but maybe this will be what works.
ReplyDeleteI love that you say you want a baby that needs to learn something here, so dang true, you just had 2 perfect perfect angels that already knew too much huh? Here's to hoping and praying for you guys to get have your dreams this year. Love you both
I too had PCOS and that's why I couldn't get preggers with Owen until 8 years after I had Kamryn.
ReplyDeleteA huge part of PCOS is your glucose levels being high (which the high protein, no carb diet will do for you). I was also put on Metformin (glucophage) and that helped with not only getting my body regular, but also with the weight loss. Might be something to check into if you haven't already.
It seems like weight has a HUGE factor in pregnancy... or as I have learned from past experiences. I conceived Owen when I was at my "perfect" weight of 150.
If you ever want to chat, email me. I have been down the same frustrating road of infertility, PCOS, and weight fluctuations.
GOOD LUCK!!
Andrea
I hope that your wishes come true this year!!

ReplyDeleteYes, you deserved to have a child whom is needed on earth more than heaven. many prayers for that.
ReplyDeleteHave you got a Wii Fit? I can't remember if you have ever said. Tuesday I start my "lifestyle" change again. I don't use the word diet because if it was temporary then it wouldn't work and I'll gain it all back. I'm competing on my Wii Fit with other friends, trying to beat their scores. Makes for a fun way to excercise and makes me want to do it.
My husband has battled with alcohol the last few years and has stopped drinking for the second time and hopefully the last. But it makes him eat sweets like crazy. He is constantly bringing home donuts and chocolate. He Never ate this kind of stuff before and I can't stay away from it. I have got to sit him down tonight and talk to him about how he has got to not let me know he has it. He also gave up soda at the same time. I want to do that one, but no where near that yet. But at least I only drink diet soda.
