So many questions Shejayd. Thanks for asking at least it feels like someone is listening. Lets see if I can try to answer them all.

What meds are you on right now? Are you on metformin or anything? Or are you waiting for the official diagnosis of PCOS still? A lot of people have had sucess on metformin alone, it personally has helped me lose weight, have irregularly regular cycles (every 45 days rather then twice a year) and has helped many women ovulate on thier own in turn helping with the TTC. What doctor are you seeing? Are you seeing a gyno or RE?
I am not on any medication now and I am just waiting to call my dr this morning so I can get in and get an appointment and get a correct diganosis of PCOS. Metformin, I will have to read up on that. I am really trying to stay positive that all I need is something simple like medication to help us TTC. I have been going to acupuncture twice and she really wants me to loose weight and eat healthy. I can see the eating healthy and I have started trying really hard to do so, but the losing weight. I have gained a bit on my stomach and thighs, but I am still in the normal range for my height. I still don't think I am over 115lbs. So that kind of baffles me. Anyways, I just started seeing a new female dr in the SE, Dr. Kooiman. She is really new to the area as far as I understand and the first one I could get into after my old one left. I am hoping she can now steer me in the right direction. As far as gyno or RE, no one yet. So really I am not doing anything other than acupuncture to help me along. I still feel a bit lost in this whole process, but I am hoping that changes soon.

How is everyone else doing this fine wintery morning? I just stepped in the shower this morning and the power went off so I ended up showering and dressing in darkness. Other than that, the drive into work wasn't all that bad, just took my time.
