So today I went to the doctor to have a cheerful chat about what they were going to do about the fact that I haven't ovulated in nine months or had a period since Dec 20th. He recommended lots of options and we finally decided on a medication called Metformin. Basically, this is a medication given to those suffering from diabetes but has been found effective in regulating monthly cycles and causing ovulation. My doc also said it could result in weight loss because of the pills side effects of making you vomit and have diarrhea of five minutes so I'm really excited about that! (to all those who can't recognize sarcasm...that was it) Unfortunately I have to wait a week or more before I can take it while I undergo lots of testing. Most of these tests I'm going to be doing tomorrow including testing for high cholesterol, thyroid problems, pre-diabetes and like I mentioned before...PCOS. Today they tested me to see if I was pregnant (after all I haven't had a period in almost four months), but after being poked with a needle three times by an incompetent nurse as well as painful digging around in my arm, followed by waiting for the result for an hour, the test came back as, you guessed it! Negative!...big surprise there...
Anyway, I'll post the results of all my tests as I know them. Wish me luck!
