I'd like to say things went well at the hospital today, but I'm still so confused by the the whole thing that I'm just not sure. I know that sounds really daft, but I just had so much to take in, take this pill then, that pill at such & such time & do this that & the other, oh & take folic acid & have intercourse on alternate days etc. That's not even a 10th of the information I was given. I've been put on the waiting list for a second laperoscopy, I had one in 2001 but for a different reason than this time, also I'm waiting for a scan. It could be six months before I get to the top of the list though, but I'm on short notice, so they could call me at any time they like really between now & Christmas. God it's only June & I just said Christmas. Scarey!
Anyway, as I was saying, I've been given three different types of pills to take. The first is to force my body into a cycle. This should take effect in the next week or so with any luck. The second set are Metphormin, this is to level out my insulin problem which is an assosiated issue of PCOS. The third set are Chlomid, this forces the body to continue ovulating when it is supposed to & not once a year as I do now, so that we will get pregnant. With any degree of luck we should be baking within the next 4 months. But it's not an open shut case. As well as taking all these tablets I also have to take folic acid, obvious really, but I hadn't thought of it. I also have to have "day 21" blood tests done over the next two months to check I am ovulating as I'm supposed to be. If I'm not then my dose of Chlomid will be upped. It's all really complicated & I don't think I've even gone over half of what the doc said today, but the good news was that Gareth's zinc intake has had the desired effect, so IVF may not be neccessary now coz he's outperforming his past results.
This whole situation is so confusing & its really difficult to absorb everything in one go. But I think once I'm in the swing of things medication wise, everything else will fall into place. So, without getting our hopes up & without sounding too prosumptuous, watch this space for happy news in the not too distant future (with any luck)
