Starting month #2!

Tonight, I start taking Diane and Androcur for the second month.

I called in to speak to the doctor today because I was told my AF was suppose to show up on the 3rd day I had stopped taking my birth control pill. No such luck. AF decided to show up on the very last day of the 7 day window, which is TODAY, and has made me feel completely gross.

I'm positive I haven't lost more weight, but I feel so bloated and unhappy, it could just be AF talking. Not to mention my face completely broke out, so not only do I feel all bloated and lumpy like the elephant man, but look like him too. Go me!

I have spent the day doing laundry and just hanging out with my guy. I'm so grateful for him and his way. He's so patient and caring towards me. I'm blessed. Although I must say that that sometimes I want to hug him till he pops and sometimes... I just want to pop him. Hehe. I know he'll be a good father. I just hope it will soon.

Okay, here's to month #2! To losing weight, fixing hormones and babies...

First Post. Intro to my fertility issues.

I was officially diagnosed with PCOS in May 1998, after a m/c with my Ex Husband. Although I didn't know the name of what I had, I knew I had it since I was young. PCOS runs in my family and 5 out of 7 of my Aunt's from my Mother's side (in addition to my Mom) have it, although many have never had it offically diagnosed.

I've had two m/c's, one in 6/98 and one in 9/03. I was unaware I was pregnant the first time, but I had already grown to love the second baby. My 2nd m/c was very traumatic for me and hard because EJ was in Iraq during it, but we got through it and here we are, ttc once again.

The last doctor I visited suggested that I lose weight (about 30 pounds) before I begin TTC. I decided to finally follow his advice and start low carbing. Today is my 7th day of low carbing and it's been going great. I'm hoping to continue it until I lose enough weight were I would feel comfortable switching over to a low-fat diet, to maintain my weight. Because of my insulin resistance, low carbing has been the only way I've been able to lose weight, so I'm sticking to it!

I had another TTC journal that I had for the last few years, but I noticed I was negative on it from start to finish, so I decided to delete it and start a new. After much thinking and praying, I feel the motivation and strenght to start all over again...
