The Saga Continues

I had my appointment today with the Reproductive Endocrinologist. Here are the really simplified results:
-Re-confirmed PCOS
-Insulin levels were high after glucose test, but already doing enough so no real change needed here. They weren't super high either, just 1% above where they should be. Glucose levels before nasty sugar were fine.
-Thyroid, pituitary and something else were normal. (Mine always have been normal)
-Tyler's swimmers like to go in circles, not straight like they should.

Where does that leave us? Well, the doctor said it was really up to us. But in reality if we want to give ourselves the best chance that would involve IUI (intra-uterine insemination), femara (the same drug I was on before), and a "trigger" shot to release the egg. Perhaps more injectibles than that if the egg is not maturing.

I HATE needles. And that medicine makes me nauseous. So the blog posting may get a little spotty.

Without any treatment our chances are about 4%, just with femara it's about 8%, with femara and IUI it's about an 18% chance. As a point of comparison the average person has a 20% chance each month.

I think we're going to give it a try next time there's a chance of ovulating. That'd be in 5 weeks (or more due to my unpredictable nature). Why not? My head says this is the right thing but my heart has been scarred so many times thinking there is a chance it's hard to get a good read. But I'm not going to quit. If we were to adopt it'd run about 30 K, and IVF runs 10 K. This will be the cost of some new granite countertops that I've been wanting, but let's give it a go. Entrepreneurs wives should not have such issues. Just one more try. Just one more little face, just one more little nose. Just one more little snuggly face, just one more times to try to get those two little pink lines on a stick.

tears..   I knew all along this was going to be a long road. I may need your support.
