This is not a fairytale. I learned that quite a few months ago. Naively, we went into this thinking "Oh! We want to have a baby now" and expected that it would happen because we wanted it to. And, for some that does work. Not for me - or many others like me. It's hard. It's emotional. It sometimes gets the best of you. So, after over a year of trying to conceive and a PCOS diagnosis, I find myself here - trying to believe.

New Doc and More Waiting

So my doctor appointment with my new doctor was today. I was called back by the nurse and she asked the reason for my appointment and I told her my LMP was August 18th. So of course I had to pee in a cup and I went to my exam room. I could hear all the girls talking a few minutes went by and one said "Oh. No, she's pregnant." And of course my heart skipped a beat. Until the pregnant lady's voice came in a minute later and was talking with them. Sigh.

So after what seemed forever, the doctor came in and I liked her immediately. She's very open and easy to talk to. I also liked that she came in, sat down and started talking to me instead of looking in my ears, nose and throat. (Yes, my last doctor did that for everything it seemed) She said my urine test was negative. We talked further and she told me by looking at me and my symptoms, it was likely I have PCOS. They drew blood and I should know for sure within a week.

She said if I do have PCOS, I can come in and we can talk about the 'big picture' and what our next steps will be. If I want to TTC, she will prescribe me Metformin.

So, for now I'm waiting.
