Hey NerdyGirl - that is wonderful that her hubby with be a SAHD. I love it! My husband out earns and out benefits me - although I out degree him - so I think I will be the one at home although the details of how much I am at home has yet to be fine tuned.
Anyways, I have yet to try any treatments or even try to get pregnant. I have been on BC for the last 14 years. My fertility doctor wants me off the pill to see what my body will do. I have relatively minor PCOS symptoms - so I guess I am lucky - EXCEPT i do not get my period or ovulate, have PCO, and bad acne when I have gone off the pill. I actually have PCO on the pill too - I don't understand how that is possible if follicles are supposed to shrink. ANyways, I really haven't been off the pill for more than 5 five months before I had terrible acne and decided just to go back on since I didn't want to get pregnant and doctors were lazy when it came to treating me with any other method. So, I am on day 8 of being off the pill - on no other medication except prenatals and omega-3. I don't even feel like counting my fertility days - what is the point? I am terrified of the acne but realized my stress can only make the situation worse... I am having surgery to remove both tubes next Thursday - well at least that is what they predict they will be doing - if they can save them they might! And, I am crossing my figures that nothing worse happens. But, it doesn't seem like tubal recostruction is all that successful. So, based on that surgery we will know for sure... But, the likely fallout is IVF next septemeber. I am moving to Miami for a year, without my new hubby, married in May, for work - so I do not want to do IVF by myself. And, if we were so lucky to get pregnant, I think he wants to be every part of that miracle. In some ways, I feel lucky that we can avoid some of the other processes, if they would have never worked because of my tubes.
I hope you have a good day.
Arpee - Doctors are so confusing... I am glad that you have friends going to the same doctors. It is terribly annoying that they do not read your medical file prior to your visit. I am part of a system that they could access everything online before my visit from all the doctors at the university that I have seen for the last 9 years - nah! They just want me to sit there and tell them everything and then waste my time flipping through my file... ANd what frustrates me more - I bet they don't look at my file again until I re-appear. I mean, don't they want to study the case, and consult and make sure they are doing the right thing... Why don't fertility specialists do more consultation with each other?? I'm going to go read your blog now. |
